Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | SPLENDID PATROL (BV066) | D Dunn | -- | Best away and soon led on fence, never clear by more than a length and a half until home straight, skipped 2Ls clear at 200 M, driven out, comfortably. |
2 | 4 | THUNDER STORM (CA226) | A Marcus | B | Had a nice run on fence 3Ls off pace 1200 M out, 2Ls down and disputing 2nd place off final bend, no chance with winner but hung for 2nd place okay. |
3 | 8 | PACKING ANGEL (CB223) | D Whyte | -- | 2-wide and 3Ls or 4Ls off speed in 5th place from 1200 M out to 600 M out, 4-wide off home turn, never able to challenge winner but stayed on fairly for a place nonetheless. |
4 | 11 | MASTERY (CC176) | G Schofield | -- | In rear 2-wide and 10Ls off pace 1200 M out, 8Ls down and 4-wide and still in rear entering straight, good headway final 200 M to be nearest at finish. |
5 | 9 | ABLE MARSHALL (CB336) | W M Lai | -- | In 10th place 7Ls off pace out 2-wide at 1200 M, still 2-wide and 6Ls down towards rear and travelling well on home circle, didn't find much when asked to quicken up. |
6 | 2 | GOOD RECORD (CA104) | R Fradd | -- | 3-wide with cover in 7th when 5Ls off the lead at 1200 M, 4Ls off pace but 5-wide (widest of all) off home turn, no impression. |
7 | 6 | SILENT PARTNER (BT122) | G Mosse | B | In 8th place 2-wide and 6Ls off speed at the 1200 M, 5Ls down 800 M out, still in midfield on the home turn, always much too one-paced to improve position. |
8 | 3 | COMMANDER CHARLIE (BS155) | M W Leung | SR | On fence about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace in 6th place from 1200 M to home straight, never dangerous on run-in. |
9 | 10 | THUNDER MAN (CB239) | S Dye | B | 10Ls off the lead on fence 1200 M out in 11th place, a little closer but still in rear off home turn, outpaced and never able to challenge on fence, switched inside final 100 M. |
10 | 7 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | C Williams | -- | Slowly away, on fence 7Ls off pace in 9th 1200 M out, 5Ls down and still 9th on straightening, never on terms with principals. |
11 | 12 | REWARD (BV116) | C K Tong | BO | Couldn't lead early on, 3-wide without cover 2Ls off speed in 3rd place from 1200 M to 500 M out, soon under pressure and dropped out steadily in home straight. |
12 | 5 | GREEN CENTURY (CA256) | W Woods | -- | Keen early on, still over-racing when 2-wide 2Ls off pace in 2nd place 1200 M out, settled eventually and held this spot until home turn, dropped out tamely quickly. (Lame.) |
