1 | 4 | LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) | B Doyle | -- | Raced on the back of the speed, 1 off with cover. Cruised up after the 400 M and was in front by the furlong to hold a margin over its rivals. |
2 | 12 | TOUCH LUCKY (CH193) | M Du Plessis | B/XB/TT2 | Landed midfield the fence. Rolled out in the straight and let down strongly to be beaten by a narrow margin. |
3 | 8 | EASY WIN (CJ288) | Y T Cheng | -- | Ridden along early to cross from a wide gate and lead along the rails. Challenged early in the straight but fought strongly to stay in touch with the principles. |
4 | 7 | CHIEF WITNESS (CJ219) | F Coetzee | TT | Settled midfield 2-wide with cover. Was checked off heels near the 600 M, however recovered well and finished off nicely. (See Racing Incidents.) |
5 | 10 | EASTERN FIREBALL (CJ108) | G Mosse | -- | For the major part of the race travelled wide and without cover in midfield, making the home turn was carried wide, kicked strongly in the straight for a solid performance. |
6 | 6 | GALLANT HUSSAR (CJ017) | E Saint-Martin | B1 | Was crowded soon after the start, losing its position and travelling in last spot. Closed off strongly from impossible spot. |
7 | 5 | VIENTO (CH181) | D Whyte | -- | Travelled with the back markers, 2 to 3-wide with cover. Failed to make any impression in the run to the wire. |
8 | 9 | KIMBERLEY (CJ295) | H W Lai | -- | Slow to begin and settled in 3rd last position on the fence. Commenced to peel out after the 500 M and in the straight made fair ground. |
9 | 1 | WHATAFANTASY (CH267) | O Doleuze | B/TT | From a wide gate was ridden along early and crossed to camp behind the leader after the 900 M. Failed to quicken early in the straight, had no excuses. |
10 | 3 | DIDI (CJ057) | C W Wong | CP | Hung in during the early stages, however enjoyed the run of the race behind the speed along the fence. Had every chance. |
11 | 13 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | K L Chui | SR/CP | Began well but didn't muster a great deal of speed thereafter and travelled behind midfield, 2 deep with cover. Never likely. |
12 | 14 | SIMPLY JOY (CH052) | M L Yeung | B-/H- | From a wide gate was steadied early and settled 3rd last, 1 off with cover. Never really in the hunt, failing to make up any appreciable ground in the run home. |
