Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | GOLDEN STRIDE (CA343) | W M Lai | B | Good early dash to lead by a neck on fence 1000 M, 1L clear at top of home straight, picked up well enough to always hold a decisive break. |
2 | 11 | HEALTHY FRUITS (CC193) | R Fradd | TT | Best away, box run on fence in 3rd about 2Ls off speed through to home turn, switched out to challenge near 250 M, ran on strongly once clear, only just failed. (Blood and Inquiry.) |
3 | 12 | SUPERB (CE093) | C Munce | CP- | Head up at start, a neck down in 2nd out 2-wide at 1000 M, 1L down in 2nd entering home straight, half a length 2nd at 200 M, lost out on quinella place final strides. |
4 | 1 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | K L Chui | B-/V1 | Fractious and bounded at start with jockey unbalanced after losing a stirrup iron, about 3Ls or 4Ls off speed in 5th on fence until home straight, stayed on well late, nearest at finish. (Dropped whip.) |
5 | 9 | GOOD TO GREAT (CD278) | D Whyte | -- | 2-wide and 2Ls behind pace in 4th at 1000 M, 3Ls back in 4th into home turn, stayed on okay but outpaced by principals. |
6 | 4 | NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) | B Prebble | -- | Fractious in gates, 4-back on fence about 5Ls or 6Ls off speed in 8th from 800 M to home turn, made up some minor late ground without really threatening. |
7 | 2 | PROPELLOR (CE263) | O Doleuze | SR-/V1 | Awkward to begin, mostly 3-wide no cover in midfield about 5Ls off the speed until the 500 M, 4-wide (widest of all) until straightening, moderate late headway. |
8 | 8 | PALIO KING (CG073) | G Mosse | TT | Over-raced and hanging out at 1000 M when 3Ls down in 6th, 5Ls down in 6th taking final turn, flat in the finish. (See Racing Incidents.) |
9 | 7 | ALIPES (CD169) | Y T Cheng | SB1 | Awkward break, 6Ls back in 9th out 2-wide at 800 M, 7Ls down in 9th taking final corner, always thoroughly outpaced. |
10 | 10 | LA TACHE (CG075) | W C Marwing | -- | Steadied at start and at 1000 M, one from rear about 9Ls behind leader at 700 M, never got much closer. |
11 | 5 | DANZIGMOUNTAIN (CG139) | S Dye | -- | Always at rear and at least 8Ls off the pace, poor effort. |
12 | 3 | EUPHORIC KID (CB165) | M W Leung | V/TT | Slow to begin and always struggling at rear at least 7Ls behind leader, never a factor. |
