Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | LEGEND (CK042) | B Prebble | -- | 3-back the fence 4Ls off pace in midfield down back straight, still 3Ls down at the 200 M, finished off strongly to lead 50 M out and kept on. |
2 | 7 | MARVELLOUS (CH026) | D Beadman | V/TT | Box-seated on rails in 2nd at halfway, 1L back in 2nd at the 200 M, headed by winner 50 M out as soon as he overhauled the long-time leader, clear 2nd. |
3 | 4 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | K C Leung | B | Best out and led by 1L on fence at the 1000 M, clear by between 1L and 2Ls before being headed inside final 100 M, had to settle for 3rd. |
4 | 3 | DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) | M Chadwick | H/TT1 | 3-wide no cover early on, pressed on to race 2Ls back in 2nd at 800 M, further back in 3rd and pressured turning in, one-paced to wind up. |
5 | 2 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | W M Lai | BO | 2-wide and back in 8th about 5Ls off early speed, about 6Ls down entering home straight, recovered some fair late ground to 5th. |
6 | 8 | O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) | J Winks | TT | Nicely placed in 'one-out-one-back' position in 4th down the back, slipped further back on the circle, couldn't quite recover lost ground in straight. |
7 | 6 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | D Whyte | B | In 5th or 6th between 3Ls and 5Ls from the pace through to final bend, stayed on okay without troubling the principals. |
8 | 9 | KING CREOLE (CG287) | M Du Plessis | TT | Taken back from wide gate, 7Ls back in 9th turning for home, never really landed a blow. |
9 | 10 | BERNINI (CJ168) | M W Leung | -- | Slow out again, 4-back on the rails down the back, hard ridden and 6Ls down in 8th off last turn, one-paced. |
10 | 1 | TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) | Z Purton | -- | Eased back from barrier 9, 10Ls last at the 600 M, always giving away too much ground to get seriously involved. |
11 | 11 | SO PRETTY SO SMART (CK063) | C K Tong | -- | 3-wide no cover down the back straight in rear, always going to struggle given his limitations and being so wide and far back. |
12 | 12 | SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) | J Lloyd | H/TT | Slowest out, at least 7Ls from the speed throughout in rear. |
