Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) | K L Chui | -- | 6Ls back in 9th at halfway, flanked winner until home straight but soon outpaced, 2nd when briefly eased down 50 M out, recovered to just hang onto 2nd. (Jockey reprimanded.) |
2 | 8 | FANTASTIC TIME (CH220) | Z Purton | SR/V | In midfield with cover about 5Ls off pace in middle stages, stayed on fairly well for a place in the final 300 M. |
3 | 10 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | B Doyle | V/XB | Slowly away, one from rear about 9Ls from early pace, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home and ran on best of the rest for 4th. |
4 | 7 | DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) | D Whyte | -- | In second half of field until home straight at least 5Ls from the front, held up for about 100 M at top of stretch, one-paced once clear. |
5 | 12 | NOBLE TWINS (CH257) | M Du Plessis | B | No early pace and soon a long way back in rear, plodded on through some very laboured rivals in the final stages. |
6 | 1 | LIMONCELLO (CH178) | K T Yeung | B/TT | 4Ls off speed with cover at the 1000 M, closer but niggled along off home turn, didn't find a great deal under pressure. |
7 | 13 | SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) | C K Tong | -- | 3-wide with cover in 10th or so down the back straight, 4-wide on straightening and midfield 3Ls back at the 200 M, couldn't sustain the run. |
8 | 9 | MR FLOODLIGHT (CG257) | H W Lai | B | Disputed early tempo on the fence, 1L clear turning for home but soon headed and fizzled out rapidly. |
9 | 2 | LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) | E Saint-Martin | B | 3-back on the fence about 5Ls off pace in 7th at halfway, hemmed in along the rails for most of home straight and not tested, excuse the run. |
10 | 4 | AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) | K C Leung | B | 1L back in 4th out 2-wide at 1000 M, ridden along when over 2Ls back in 5th off final bend, weakened steadily. |
11 | 14 | PLEASURE PLEASURE (CD271) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | 5-wide no cover for much of backstretch and 3-deep on pace at halfway, extra work took its toll from the top of home straight. |
12 | 11 | GOLD GEM (CG197) | D Beadman | CP/TT | Keen early on when wide, 3Ls back in 5th at the 800 M, closer off final turn, one-paced and held when tried to savage a rival 200 M out. (Blood in trachea.) |
13 | 5 | MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) | F Coetzee | XB/TT | Endured a wide trip down the back but mostly had cover, 1L down in 2nd entering the stretch but yielded ground very quickly thereafter. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
DISQ | 3 | NAMJONG SKY (CH129) | B Prebble | TT | Quietly ridden 9Ls back in 12th early on, closer turning in when switched out wider to challenge, good turn of foot to lead 300 M, pulled well clear. |
