Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 12 | KING OF SPADES (CC056) | W M Lai | B | Got well back, about 11Ls down in 11th at 800 M and with at least 8Ls to make up turning in, helped by fast pace to lead 50 M out, tidily. |
2 | 8 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | O Doleuze | V/XB | Covered up 10Ls back in 10th at 800 M and 1L in front of the winner off final bend, ran on well but lacked the dash of KING OF SPADES. |
3 | 10 | AURELIAN (CC025) | H W Lai | B | 'One-out-one-back' position in 3rd at 1100 M, maintained strong tempo by leading before the home turn, no extra when grabbed by the winner 50 M out. |
4 | 2 | LIMONCELLO (CH178) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Trapped 3-wide no cover along backstretch before getting in 2-wide and 5Ls back in 4th at 800 M, one-paced in the homestretch. |
5 | 6 | GOLD GEM (CG197) | D Beadman | CP/TT | One from rear at least 11Ls behind pace at 800 M and still well back off final bend, made some fair late ground down centre of track, never nearer. |
6 | 14 | SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) | P H Lo | -- | 6Ls down in 7th on fence at 900 M and marginally closer taking final bend, had his chance to place but didn't find enough. |
7 | 7 | KA KA SMART (CG042) | S K Sit | B/H | Led by a neck on fence 1200 M out, forced the speed until 500 M out, tired gradually in the home straight and eased close home. |
8 | 4 | CHINESE BOY BOY (CH157) | B Prebble | V | At least 10Ls back in 12th early on and 8Ls down swinging for home, always chasing at least half the field. |
9 | 1 | BATURO (CH029) | C W Wong | B | Disputed early tempo out 2-wide and a neck clear at 800 M when a bit too keen, still on terms off last bend but swamped inside final 200 M. |
10 | 3 | SOU MA TAM (CH253) | C Soumillon | -- | 4Ls back in midfield with cover at 1000 M, under pressure to remain involved 600 M out, checked off the final bend but outpaced anyway. |
11 | 13 | HELLO GIBRALTAR (CH207) | M Nunes | V- | Never landed a blow, about 9Ls back in 9th at halfway, slightly closer turning for home but remained in slower half of the field. |
12 | 9 | ABLE STANDARD (CG043) | D Whyte | B/TT | Fractious in gates and lost ground at start, 2-wide and 7Ls back in 8th at 900 M, 4-wide and closer on straightening, tired final 200 M. |
13 | 5 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | G Mosse | TT | Tame performance, box-seated in 4th at 1100 M, 4Ls down in 4th turning for home, found nothing under pressure and eased late. |
14 | 11 | GOLD DIGGER (CD101) | E Wilson | CP | 12Ls last at 1000 M and struggling to draw any closer making the home turn, became detached from the remainder. |
