Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | PLEASURE PLEASURE (CD271) | G Mosse | B/TT | Best away, settled 3-wide no cover when 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 800 M to home turn, pressed on to be a narrow leader 300 M out, always just holding a short head margin to the line. |
2 | 12 | KIWI DASH (CC281) | S Dye | B-/TT- | 4-wide with cover down backstretch when about 5Ls behind leader in rear, briefly 5-wide no cover on circle but headway to go 1L down in 4th at 200 M, stayed on well without wresting lead. |
3 | 3 | BIG WINNER (CD229) | D Dunn | B1/TT | 2-wide and 3Ls off pace in 5th from 1000 M to home straight, 1L down in same position at 200 M, had every chance to get through but just outpaced by quinella pair inside final 50 M. |
4 | 4 | GOLD MASTER (CC365) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Had the box-seat run on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th from 1200 M to home straight, held up from 400 M to about 100 M, ran on well once in the clear but too late, unlucky. |
5 | 1 | FAT DRAGON (CD130) | R Fradd | B- | Raced too freely early on when 2-wide in midfield about 3Ls off speed, lost position from 600 M to homestretch and without a clear run from 400 M to 200 M, ran on OK once clear but too late. (See Racing Incidents.) |
6 | 6 | AWESOME EAGLE (CE077) | K W Tsui | TT | Over-raced early 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off pace, similar spot entering homestretch when short of room, made some minor late ground without troubling principals. |
7 | 13 | WIN DANCER (CC357) | F Coetzee | TT | Always 4-wide no cover though within 3Ls of leader in midfield until final bend, kept on at same pace until line. |
8 | 8 | PAY-DAY (CD182) | G Schofield | SR/TT | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd from 1000 M to top of home straight, disputing the lead at 250 M marker, weakened close home. |
9 | 5 | GOLDEN MILE (CD264) | C K Tong | V | Led by 1L from 1300 M to top of home straight, headed 250 M out, swamped late. |
10 | 2 | TURF GOLD (CD342) | D Whyte | B | 5Ls off pace in 10th or so at 1000 M, similarly placed taking final turn, no clear passage at 200 M and near 100 M when about 3Ls off the pace, could draw no closer once clear. |
11 | 11 | METRO LEADER (CE005) | H W Lai | -- | 4-back on fence towards rear about 5Ls off speed at 1000 M, under pressure and still worse than midfield turning in homestretch, no impression. |
12 | 14 | PREMIER BURG (CC137) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Always in the rear bunch, about 5Ls off pace but with cover at 1000 M, further back tackling home corner, never remotely dangerous. |
13 | 10 | COSMO STAR (CA260) | W C Marwing | SR-/V1/TT | 8Ls last at 1200 M, never got much closer than that. |
14 | 9 | BE MY BRIDE (CD318) | O Doleuze | BO | Worse than midfield about 4Ls off the speed at 1000 M, 5-wide entering home straight when 7Ls down in 13th, weakened out. (Bled.) |
