Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | NATIONAL TREASURE (CK362) | D Whyte | -- | Positioned ahead of midfield but unable to tuck in from a wide barrier, strongly challenged inside 400M and showed a determined attitude to edge out the 2nd and 3rd just before the line. |
2 | 1 | GREAT GUY (CH112) | M Chadwick | TT | At the hindquarters of the leader and enjoyed the run of the race, battled on gamely to the line and was only beaten by the narrowest possible margin. |
3 | 11 | LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) | M W Leung | -- | Led and dictated the tempo, rallied on well when challenged passing 400M, narrowly beaten. |
4 | 6 | WINNING EDGE (CL297) | W C Marwing | B/H | Dropped back to the rear after the start, saved ground on the inside but had trouble getting a clear run on straightening, ran on strongly when clear 200M and finished nearest at the line. |
5 | 10 | MASCOT FORTUNE (CH221) | G Cheyne | -- | With leader early then dropped back to race in chasing group, had every chance, kept on to the line but lacked a further response. |
6 | 12 | AMBITIOUS TREASURE (CJ173) | H W Lai | B/TT | Behind midfield, well covered but endured a rough passage nearing 1000M, finished off the race reasonably well. |
7 | 8 | JOYFUL WINNER (CE045) | C W Wong | CP/TT | Settled behind midfield after a slow start, had to be nudged along 500M out, ran on one-paced on straightening. |
8 | 2 | SUNSEEKER (CL161) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Placed in midfield off the rail, kept on same pace in the drive home. |
9 | 14 | SPECTACULAR AWARD (CK364) | M Du Plessis | CP | Handily placed off the rail just behind leader, lacked further response when the race got serious, turned flat in late stages. |
10 | 13 | CLASSA (CK267) | W M Lai | B | Positioned in midfield 3-wide, ran on fairly without threatening the principals. |
11 | 9 | FORTUNE SIX (CL328) | B Prebble | -- | Raced in midpack, not helped by the slow early pace and proved difficult to settle down the back straight, kept on until run ended 150M from home. |
12 | 3 | CHINA DRAGON (CL104) | C Y Ho | -- | Dropped back to the rear of the field and had plenty to do turning in, made some progress down the outside but never looked like catching the horses in front. |
13 | 7 | WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) | K W Leung | CP | Switched off to last and given a patient ride, hard driven inside 400M but made limited progress only. |
14 | 4 | MASTER TOUCH (CL108) | J Lloyd | XB | Awkwardly away, moved forward to be prominent behind leading pair but raced 3-wide without cover, run ended near 350M and weakened away rapidly. (Irregular Heart Rhythm.) |
