Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | K T Yeung | SR/CP | Trapped very wide down backstretch but got in with cover from 800 M when about 3Ls back in mid-division, 5-wide turning for home, kept on to lead 100 M, driven out. |
2 | 11 | KING'S CHOICE (CG040) | H W Lai | -- | In front rank within 2Ls of the pace until home turn in 3rd, stayed on okay for 2nd but never likely to grab the winner. |
3 | 14 | AMBITION (CC079) | W M Lai | B/TT- | Within 1L of the speed before hitting the front 600 M out, still 1L clear 300 M but headed 100 M out and lost 2nd soon after. |
4 | 12 | UNIVERSAL PIONEER (CB293) | C K Tong | TT | Went back to a 4-wide position but with cover at 1000 M, 3Ls down in midfield turning for home, plugged on home one-paced. |
5 | 1 | GENERAL SPEEDEE (CG193) | D Whyte | TT | Midfield about 2Ls from the pace from 1000 M to home turn, had every chance to at least place but failed to quicken. |
6 | 4 | SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) | C Soumillon | H/TT | Worse than midfield about 4Ls from the front until home turn, made a little ground but posed no danger. |
7 | 2 | SIMPLY JOY (CH052) | S Dye | -- | Lost ground at start and 6Ls last at 1000 M, under pressure in rear turning in, ran on past a few tired rivals, never nearer. |
8 | 9 | PLEASURE PLEASURE (CD271) | P H Lo | B/TT | No early speed, worse than midfield about 4Ls from the front until home turn, always outpaced. |
9 | 13 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | M Nunes | B | On fence about 4Ls from the speed in 8th or 9th through to home straight, one-paced. |
10 | 8 | STEP FORWARD (CB166) | O Doleuze | B | One from rear about 6Ls from early pace, out wide and with 5Ls to make up tuning for home, made no impact down centre of track. |
11 | 5 | SUPER RED (CG230) | K L Chui | XB/TT | Among the early pacesetters, became unbalanced at 600 M and 2Ls back in 5th off final bend, faded out steadily. |
12 | 10 | PROFIT HILL (CE274) | Y T Cheng | -- | Caught 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, 1L back in 4th at 800 M and 2nd turning for home, quickly faded out. (Lame.) |
13 | 3 | SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) | G Mosse | SR/V2 | Slowest away, always towards rear at least 5Ls from the front until the final bend, held up from 300 M to 200 M, too late to recover. (Blood in trachea.) |
14 | 7 | WINNING CHAMP (CE233) | C W Wong | -- | Led by half a length out 2-wide at 900 M, sank through the field 500 M out, performance deemed unacceptable. |
