Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | GREAT HERO (CH016) | B Prebble | B/TT | Raced 2nd no worse than 2Ls from the early pace, travelled well when leading at top of home straight, forged clear, very easily. |
2 | 8 | CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) | Z Purton | B/TT | 5Ls back in 8th out 2-wide at 1200 M, 3Ls back in 5th at the final turn out 4-wide, kept on best of the rest for a remote 2nd. |
3 | 13 | NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) | H W Lai | -- | Switched inside from wide gate to sit 5-back on fence about 8Ls down at 1000 M, ran on well down the centre through final stages for a distant place. |
4 | 11 | MEGA BULLET (CH192) | G Boss | -- | One from rear about 10Ls off pace at the 1200 M, midfield and 6Ls back turning in, one-paced thereafter. |
5 | 1 | SOUNDS FANTASTIC (CH146) | Y T Cheng | -- | Very slowly away, 12Ls last at the 1000 M, 9Ls back turning for home, made some minor late ground through beaten rivals. |
6 | 12 | GOLD GEM (CG197) | E Wilson | CP/TT | 3-back on fence about 4Ls back in 6th at 1200 M, headway to be 2Ls back in 3rd swinging for home out 3-wide, tired in the latter stages. |
7 | 3 | JOY TRUMPS (CD242) | C Soumillon | B/TT | Slowly away, 10Ls back towards early on, 5Ls down in midfield off final bend, couldn't progress much further. |
8 | 14 | LUCKY WORLD (CJ053) | C W Wong | TT | Soon led on fence by 1L, headed at top of the home straight and faded out very quickly. |
9 | 7 | ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) | M W Leung | -- | Box-seated on fence 2Ls back in 3rd at 1200 M, 4Ls down in 3rd at 800 M, 4th turning for home, back-pedalled. |
10 | 6 | EASY GAME (CC346) | A Delpech | PC2 | 4-back on fence 6Ls off pace in 9th at 1200 M and much the same turning for home, dropped out further. |
11 | 2 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | G Mosse | P | 6Ls or 7Ls back in midfield at halfway, hard pressed to take closer order turning for home, dropped out. |
12 | 4 | CLASSIC KING (CD256) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Always in the rear, about 11th and 10Ls off pace at 1000 M, under pressure to improve at the 600 M, always well held in home straight. |
13 | 10 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | E Saint-Martin | P-/BO2 | Hung out as usual, 3-wide no cover throughout also, 4Ls back in 5th and niggled along at 1000 M, yielding ground before final bend, folded. |
14 | 5 | BLISS STAR (CE311) | K L Chui | TT | Trapped 4-wide no cover at 1000 M, dropped rapidly through the field and beaten 800 M out, performance deemed unacceptable. |
