Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) | K C Leung | B/SR | Around midfield 3-wide but with cover within 4Ls of the pace until home turn, picked up well to lead at the 100 M, driven out. |
2 | 6 | BAYVIEW GREYSLEW (CJ194) | W M Lai | TT | 5Ls back in 12th leaving back straight and similarly placed turning in, ran on strongly through the field for 2nd. |
3 | 9 | NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) | Z Purton | B | A neck down in 2nd on the rails at 1000 M, led by a neck 500 M out and clear by 1L at furlong pole, headed 100 M later, barely clung onto a place. |
4 | 1 | GENERAL POWER (CJ256) | M Chadwick | B1/TT | 2-wide mid-division within 3Ls or so of leaders before straightening, 2Ls down but held up at 200 M, kept on once clear, unlucky not to place. |
5 | 3 | GOOD TIME CHARLIE (CJ207) | M L Yeung | P1/H1/TT | Slowly out, between 4Ls and 5Ls back in 9th or so until final turn, finished off pretty well and nearly placed. |
6 | 7 | TOP SPEED (CH019) | H W Lai | B | Enjoyed the box-seat trail in 4th on fence 2Ls from the speed until last turn, had every opportunity to achieve a better finishing position. |
7 | 14 | ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) | J Lloyd | V | Slowest out and soon one from rear 8Ls behind leaders, still at the rear off last curve, ran on okay through a few beaten rivals, never nearer. |
8 | 4 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | B Doyle | B | Went back from wide gate, at least 8Ls before final corner, never likely to play a serious role in the finish. |
9 | 13 | FAST WINNER (CG140) | M Du Plessis | B- | Pressed forward from the jump but trapped 3-wide no cover throughout, disputing the lead before final turn, extra work took its toll in final furlong. |
10 | 8 | DIAGHILEV (CH241) | J Winks | B/TT | 3-back the rails around 10th at least 4Ls from the pace through to homestretch, one-paced to wrap up. |
11 | 10 | TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) | K L Chui | B/TT | Pressed forward and led by 1L out 2-wide at 800 M, under pressure when headed before the home turn, surrendered fairly tamely. |
12 | 11 | MOUNT SURPLUS (CH122) | M Nunes | -- | Caught 4-wide no cover around midfield about 2Ls behind leaving back straight, all out to retain this proximity at the 200 M, ceded ground late on. |
13 | 12 | LADY FIRST (CJ067) | Y T Cheng | -- | Always rearward, wide but with cover about 5Ls off pace through to home straight, made not the slightest impression. |
14 | 5 | SPY KING (CE205) | T H So | V/XB/TT | Close-up about 2Ls behind early speed, beginning to lose touch at point of home turn and drifted back to last. |
