1 | 13 | HIGH MARK (CJ197) | Y T Cheng | -- | Began fairly. Settled midfield but never far from the leader. Improved position gradually. Ran on strongly to hold off rival for a narrow win. |
2 | 3 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | E Saint-Martin | SR | Shifted on jumping. Reigned back to the last 7Ls behind the leader. Looked out of contention in early stages but showed remarkable acceleration from 300 M to take 2nd. Just failed to catch winner. |
3 | 8 | IRISH JIG (CJ125) | D Beadman | H/TT | Encountered slight interference after jumping. Well covered and travelled within 3Ls from the leader. Crowded for room near 500 M. Ran on strongly to take 3rd once clear. |
4 | 6 | STEP TO WIN (CG167) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Jumped well. Showed early pace to lead towards middle of course. Kept on soundly and just failed to take a minor placing. |
5 | 4 | VENI VEDI VICI (CJ081) | O Doleuze | TT | Began awkwardly. Allowed to relax behind midfield 4 to 5Ls back. Made good ground from 300 M. Stayed in pace with the winner and not beaten far. |
6 | 12 | HONGKONG SUPERSTAR (CH167) | C K Tong | CP/TT | Lost ground when bumped on jumping. Travelled in midfield without cover on the outside of the pack. Fought on steadily without threatening. |
7 | 14 | SILENT DRAGON (CG200) | K L Chui | CP/XB | Standard jump. Settled towards the stand rails not far off from the pace. Could not find another gear when asked. Made no further impression. |
8 | 1 | ULTRA FANTASY (CG311) | D Whyte | B | Jumped with the rest. Taken back to a rearward spot 5Ls behind the leader and well covered. No room for a run until 200 M. Made limited progress thereafter. |
9 | 2 | WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (CH145) | B Doyle | H | Slow to begin. Settled behind midfield but not far off from the pace. One of the first to launch a challenge. Failed to quicken and gradually drifted out towards the centre of track. |
10 | 10 | REGENCY HORSE (CE229) | Z Purton | B/TT | Jumped modestly. Soon taken to a spot towards the stand side 3 to 4Ls off the leader. Unable to pick up under pressure and ran home one paced. |
11 | 9 | PROFITING CHAMPION (CH123) | M L Yeung | -- | Began awkwardly and shifted in. Taken to a forward spot just behind the leader. Faded in the home run. Dropped out quickly after 200 M. |
12 | 7 | WARRIOR (CH066) | F Coetzee | -- | Became unbalanced soon after jumping. Taken to a spot alongside the leader. Came under pressure 400 M out and made no show in the home run. (Mucus.) |
13 | 11 | TEAM WORK (CH276) | H W Lai | B | Jumped fairly. Travelled along the outside rails at the back of the field. Struggled to keep pace with others and dropped out quickly from 500 M. |
