Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | LUCKYME (CH012) | Y T Cheng | TT | Always leading by 1L on fence or in a close 2nd position, headed by MARIBEAU inside final 200 M but battled back to score, gutsy win. |
2 | 3 | MARIBEAU (CH213) | D Whyte | B- | Always well and led by half a length at 1200 M, 1L down in 2nd at 600 M, led briefly at 200 M but out-fought by the winner close home. |
3 | 13 | ROMANTIC GREEN (CG123) | F Coetzee | -- | Always close up on fence about 3Ls back in 5th until home turn, stayed on fairly well and just secured a place. |
4 | 4 | FIRST BABY (CG170) | K L Chui | CP | Should have placed but for wayward shifting left inside final 200 M, midfield with cover early on, 4-wide and 2Ls down turning for home, 1L down at 200 M before veering out. |
5 | 12 | MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) | B Prebble | XB | Over-raced a little early on, 4Ls back in midfield at halfway and same turning for home, stayed on quite well, nearest at finish. |
6 | 2 | NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) | D Dunn | -- | Covered up towardsd rear about 6Ls off speed at halfway, a little closer in midfield taking final turn, always held by most of those in front. |
7 | 10 | CELEBRATION (CB029) | C W Wong | B | Caught 3-wide no cover throughout, 3Ls back in 3rd or 4th down the back straight, 2Ls down in 3rd at top of home straight, one-paced final 200 M. |
8 | 7 | DR MORE (BV164) | O Doleuze | -- | Slowly away, 4-back the fence in midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls or so behind the speed until home straight, stayed on at just the one pace. |
9 | 8 | GOOD PARTNER (CE221) | G Mosse | TT | Settled in rear from wide gate about 7Ls off pace, about 5Ls back in 10th turning for home, stayed on OK without threatening. (Blood in trachea.) |
10 | 5 | SOUNDS FANTASTIC (CH146) | K T Yeung | XB | Always worse than midfield with cover about 5Ls off pace until home straight, didn't find much off the bit. |
11 | 14 | SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) | A Delpech | -- | 9Ls back in last at 1200 M, about 6Ls back in 13th turning for home, never landed a blow. |
12 | 11 | CONTICASTA (CH176) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Awkward break, prominent but racing too freely early on, over 2Ls back in 4th at halfway and hard pressed to maintain this proximity at home bend, beaten over 200 M out. |
13 | 6 | RELY ON ME (CE068) | W C Marwing | V-/TT | Worse than midfield covering ground but mostly with cover down backstretch about 6Ls off pace, closer but 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, soon tired and well beaten. |
14 | 9 | SUPER DANA (CC293) | P H Lo | B | Never travelled well, ridden along towards rear early on, 7Ls last and struggling taking final bend, no impression. |
