Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | SPINNAKER (CK305) | D Whyte | TT | Good pace to cross from wide gate to settle 3rd at 1200m; 2Ls back at 800m and 1L down off last turn; led 250m out; soon in charge; unchallenged. |
2 | 9 | FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) | B Doyle | B | Lacked early pace; niggled along in 12th on inside at 1200m; 5Ls back off last bend; stayed on best of the rest but never likely to grab the winner. |
3 | 1 | SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) | M L Yeung | -- | Slowly away; on the inner 5Ls off pace at 1000m; 4Ls back in 6th off last bend; kept on okay for a place. |
4 | 7 | FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) | J Lloyd | TT | Bumped at start; 8Ls last initially; 5-wide and still in rear turning for home; hung in under pressure; but still kept on past most of the field for 4th. |
5 | 12 | SUPER BOBO (CJ116) | G Cheyne | B/TT | Box-seated or 3-back the rails in 5th down the back straight, 3Ls off lead in 4th off last bend; had his chance to place; lacked the turn of foot. |
6 | 2 | UPSIDE OF ANGER (CH317) | J Victoire | H1 | 3-wide with cover and behind midfield through first half; 5-wide turning in when 7Ls adrift of leaders; one-paced and no threat in the finish. |
7 | 5 | WAIT FOR ME (CE332) | C W Wong | B | Went back as usual; 12th at the 800m; still at least 7Ls from the lead taking last bend; never likely to improve better than midfield. |
8 | 11 | GREEN GLORY (CJ177) | B Prebble | B/TT | 6Ls behind leaders down back straight; hard ridden to stay this close 700m out; kept on very dourly at the same pace in the straight. |
9 | 3 | CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) | W Pike | -- | Quietly ridden; 8Ls last at halfway; similar margin behind turning for home; briefly loomed a place chance at the 200m; run peaked. |
10 | 14 | SUPREME DRAGON (CH161) | K L Chui | B/H | Over-raced while 4Ls back in mid-div at 1000m; hard pressed to remain in touch off last bend; steadily faded out of the picture. |
11 | 8 | BEST NOODLE (CJ278) | M Chadwick | TT | Pressed on out wide with cover to lead by 1L at 1000m; vied for the lead from 800m to last turn; headed 250m out and swamped late on. |
12 | 4 | LUCKYME (CH012) | K C Leung | CP-/TT | Failed to muster customary early pace; 3-wide with cover in midfield 5Ls off pace at halfway; never got any closer than this. |
13 | 6 | DR WELL (CD165) | C K Tong | -- | Led early on before handing up the advantage at the 1000m; about a neck back in 2nd from 800m to last turn; soon left behind. |
14 | 13 | HIGH NOTE (CK081) | S K Sit | B/TT- | Wide without cover for some of the backstretch; 3Ls back in 4th at halfway and same off last bend; weakened sharply final 200m after extra work. |
