Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | COLOURFUL PRINCE (E418) | L Ferraris | SR/TT | Driven forward and led uncontested, skipped away inside 300M, soon opened up a big margin on the rest, eased towards the finish |
2 | 6 | SERGEANT PEPPER (E432) | E C W Wong | -- | Showed customary early speed to be tracking leader (eventual winner), no match for that rival passing 250M but fought hard to hold 2nd spot. |
3 | 1 | SKY SONG (J159) | B Avdulla | B1/TT1 | Away only fairly, recovered to race behind midfield, on straightening ran home evenly along the fence to claim a distant 3rd. |
4 | 5 | OVERSUBSCRIBED (C361) | A Badel | XB | Jumped on terms, raced along the fence in a midfield position, kept trying final 300M but never going the pace to challenge the runaway winner. |
5 | 9 | LEAN MASTER (H134) | H Bentley | B/TT | From wide draw pressed forward to be tracking the pace, close enough turning in but got home only fairly. |
6 | 12 | KING INVINCIBLE (H199) | K C Leung | B/TT | Soon towards the rear, quietly ridden, 7Ls to make up 400M, made up some ground final 300M, not beaten far by the minor placegetters. |
7 | 8 | G ONE EXCELLENT (E359) | C L Chau | TT | Jumped only fairly, soon outpaced and detached, had the job ahead top of the straight but only ran past beaten horses. |
8 | 11 | CIRCUIT SEVEN (D474) | M F Poon | B/H/TT | Bumped heavily on jumping, in midfield 5Ls off the pace, gave limited response final 300M. Never threatened. |
9 | 2 | SPICY SPANGLE (J087) | Z Purton | -- | Chased leaders, unbalanced 600M and lost ground, couldn't keep up 250M, dropped away. |
10 | 10 | PHILOS (H371) | Y L Chung | H/TT | Settled down 2-wide in midfield, couldn't go on from top of straight, weakened. |
11 | 7 | SUPER FAST DRAGON (G456) | A Hamelin | B/XB/TT | From draw 10 caught wide early stages, towards the rear and didn't travel after taken wider by rival 550M, finished off the race in a disappointing manner. (Roarer.) |
12 | 3 | UNIVERSAL BLAZE (J160) | K Teetan | P1 | Maintained a position behind midfield, hung out across the heels of rival 550M and was severely checked, fell back to last and out of contention. (Racing manners unacceptable.) |
