Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | CASH MONEY (CH030) | C W Wong | B/H | Quickly into stride and obtained a good early position tracking the leaders, responded positively under urge from 450 M and put in a sustained effort to nail the runner up inside 100 M. |
2 | 9 | CIRCUIT HERO (CG304) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Not the fastest away but gradually crept forward to race 1-out-1-back from leader, took over entering 350 M before being collared close home. |
3 | 12 | FIRST BABY (CG170) | J Lloyd | P | Settled in mid-division, saved for a run until 300 M, emerged to have his chance and produced his usual consistent effort but found the front pair too strong. |
4 | 14 | WIN A DOZEN (CH262) | M W Leung | TT | Taken to a position better than midfield, saved ground on the inside for much of the race, box-seated early in straight but unable to match the acceleration of the first two once into clear. |
5 | 7 | CAGA BOY (CG060) | Y T Cheng | -- | Broke well from the inside draw and travelled in midfield 5Ls off the pace, stayed on inside 400 M without posing any serious threat. |
6 | 10 | KING OF SCOTS (CK084) | B Doyle | -- | Handily placed in 4th just off the pace, plugged on in the straight without troubling the principals. |
7 | 5 | PRETTY TOUCH (CK252) | W M Lai | B | Shaken up early to hold a midfield position, unable to shift in and was caught 3-wide without cover from 800 M, pressed on from 400 M but didn't find the pace to challenge. |
8 | 2 | FINN MACCOOL (CK072) | M Chadwick | -- | Crossed to the fence soon after the start, given a waiting ride in the rear and was 8Ls off the pace in middle stages, taken wide entering home straight but hung out badly and drifted across to the stands' side. (Jockey questioned.) |
9 | 3 | NORTH HILL (CJ082) | W C Marwing | -- | Average start, along the fence behind midfield but overraced from 800 M, switched out for a clear run approaching home straight but found disappointingly little in the run to the line. |
10 | 1 | SPECIAL K (CK114) | K C Leung | CP | Struck the overhead bar on jumping, ended up racing in a rearward spot 6Ls behind leaders, had enormous tasks turning in but struggled to pick up from off the pace. |
11 | 4 | MEDIC FORTUNE (CK057) | J Winks | B | Broke well but was allowed to drift back, settled 5Ls off the leader in a position behind midfield, driven 400 M out but could only plod on at the same pace. Disappointing. |
12 | 13 | KING FAY FAY (CH089) | K T Yeung | -- | Dropped back to a rearward position 5Ls off the leader, 3-wide and moved closer approaching the home turn, unable to quicken and stayed on one-paced to the line. |
13 | 6 | MASTER CRISTO (CH321) | H W Lai | -- | Moved forward from the wide outside to force the pace upfront, headed 350 M and dropped out rapidly thereafter. |
14 | 11 | MARIACHI (CH190) | C K Tong | B/TT | Taken back on jumping and travelled in the rear throughout. Tailed off. (Unacceptable performance.) |
