Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 11 | MEGA BULLET (CH192) | M Du Plessis | B | 8Ls behind early pace in rear, edged closer about 4Ls back out wide swinging for home, responded well to pressure to lead inside final strides. |
2 | 10 | SUPREME COMMANDER (CJ112) | D Whyte | -- | 2-wide and 2Ls behind lead in 3rd at 1000 M, closer on straightening but couldn't quite establish a lead, passed by the winner close home. |
3 | 14 | WIN MORE (CH243) | C K Tong | B/H/TT1 | Led by 2Ls at 1000 M, set a steady tempo until last bend, all out at the 200 M but still 1L in front, just about clung onto 3rd. (Blood in trachea.) |
4 | 3 | SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) | G Mosse | B | 3-wide no cover throughout, better than midfield between 2Ls and 3Ls from the pace through to final 400 M, one-paced to wind up. (Questioned.) |
5 | 9 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | M L Yeung | B | On rails with the run of the race in 2nd or 3rd right until the home straight, very one-paced and no excuses for not doing better. |
6 | 4 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | Z Purton | B | In 6th about 3Ls or 4Ls from the speed until the home straight, held up a little but was outpaced by the principals in the final furlong anyway. |
7 | 7 | JOLLY BIRD (CJ154) | D Beadman | TT | 3-wide with cover towards rear at first, improved to midfield about 4Ls back taking last bend, briefly threatened but run died inside final 200 M. (Questioned.) |
8 | 12 | ACCELERATOR (CG179) | W M Lai | CP/XB/TT | Midfield about 4Ls behind leaders at 1200 M and similar off last bend, never looked likely to improve his position significantly. |
9 | 2 | MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) | O Doleuze | B | On rails and close up in 4th at 1200 M, 2Ls down in 5th and in need of a gap into homestretch, never found clear running room and not fully tested. |
10 | 8 | STORM'S DESTINY (CJ260) | C W Wong | SR | Worst to break, 5-back on rails at least 5Ls or 6Ls from the speed throughout and never at all dangerous. |
11 | 6 | CLASSIC ENERGY (CJ143) | W C Marwing | TT | 4-back on the rails about 4Ls or 5Ls in 7th or so down back straight, never saw much daylight from 400 M to 200 M and didn't have a hard race. |
12 | 1 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | B Doyle | B | In the second half of the field throughout at least 5Ls from the leaders. |
13 | 13 | SUPER BOBO (CJ116) | H W Lai | B/TT | 4-wide no cover in rear from widest gate early on, 7Ls last and widest of all turning in, remained last. |
DISQ | 5 | VILLAGE KID (CK018) | F Coetzee | TT1 | 8Ls behind in rear on fence down the back, still well back off last corner, ran on well late to nick 3rd, disqualified for rider weighing in light. |
