Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | BRAVO BRAVO (CH119) | B Prebble | -- | 7Ls behind speed in 12th at 800 M, closer but still in rear into home straight, let down well to lead 150 M out down centre of track, kept on strongly. |
2 | 6 | CHIEF WITNESS (CJ219) | F Coetzee | TT | Box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls behind early pace, 1L down in 3rd into home straight, kept on well but found winner too strong. |
3 | 3 | RAINBOW OASIS (CH165) | K L Chui | B | Restrained from widest gate, 9Ls last early and 6Ls down off last turn, stayed on strongly through the field and only just failed to nick 2nd. |
4 | 8 | ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) | H W Lai | B- | About 6Ls back in 9th down backstretch, midfield on straightening and challenging with place hopes at the 200 M, no extra final 100 M. |
5 | 7 | LIONS' FORTUNE (CJ114) | Z Purton | -- | Over-raced early when without cover, wide 4Ls back in 5th at 800 M, closer in 4th off last turn, entitled to drop away but stayed on well after tough trip. |
6 | 14 | SURE GAIN (CJ038) | C W Wong | -- | Around 10th or so early, 6Ls back at halfway but edged closer entering final 400 M, held up 300 M out, tight for room late and held in midfield. |
7 | 13 | K-JACK (CG233) | M Du Plessis | TT | 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off speed in mid-division at 600 M, closer and challenging when briefly held up at 250 M, one-paced in closing stages. |
8 | 2 | SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) | D Whyte | B1 | Slowest away and squeezed at start, midfield about 3Ls from speed until home turn, 1L down with place hopes at 200 M, couldn't be sustained. |
9 | 10 | DIVINE TOUCH (CG291) | G Mosse | P/TT | Keen early and pressed into midfield position at halfway, 3Ls adrift off last bend, 2Ls back and all out at 200 M, weakened. |
10 | 12 | ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) | M Nunes | CP | Awkward break, always worse than midfield, 4Ls or 5Ls from the pace until home straight, briefly challenged 250 M out but soon weakened. |
11 | 5 | O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) | C K Tong | -- | Disputed early pace on fence, a neck back in 2nd at last turn, swamped 200 M out and faded late. |
12 | 9 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | W M Lai | SR/CP | Disputed early tempo out 2-wide, held a neck margin at final turn, swallowed up at the 200 M and eased down before the line. |
13 | 4 | SUPER CEE JAY (CG289) | P H Lo | B/TT | Over-raced initially when close up in 4th and a little wide, still prominent at last corner but very weak final furlong, eased late. |
14 | 11 | MR WUNDERBAR (CJ068) | O Doleuze | -- | Retreated from wide gate, always in rear group but only about 5Ls back off last bend, found nothing under pressure and eased late. |
