Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | GREAT HERO (CH016) | B Prebble | B/TT | 3-wide with cover about 3Ls down in 6th at 1000 M, loomed 4-wide off last turn for a clear lead 300 M out, driven out for another decisive win. |
2 | 10 | WIN MORE (CH243) | E Wilson | CP | Close-up throughout, 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, 1L back in 2nd at last bend, no chance with winner but stayed on best of the rest for 2nd. |
3 | 11 | LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) | E Saint-Martin | B1 | Slowly away, 3-back on fence about 4Ls from the speed at 1000 M and similar taking last bend, well held but plugged on dourly for a place. |
4 | 2 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | G Mosse | P- | Midfield about 4Ls from the speed at 1000 M and same taking last bend, had his chance to place but lacked the follow-through. |
5 | 9 | OPERA MAGIC (CB404) | C W Wong | -- | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
6 | 14 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | H W Lai | B | In rear early on about 7Ls from the speed, same position and driven along turning for home, made minor late ground through spent rivals. |
7 | 13 | THAT'S IT (CE223) | G Boss | -- | Never better than midfield or 4Ls or 5Ls from the pace, posed no great threat in the concluding stages. |
8 | 4 | ALICE TOO (CG309) | M Nunes | B/XB1/TT | A neck 2nd out 2-wide 1100 M out, lost this position at top of home straight and swamped final 200 M. |
8 | 8 | CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Fractious in gates, one from rear about 8Ls last at 1000 M, still well back when short of room at 200 M and 100 M out, never likely to figure. |
10 | 6 | GOOD TRIO (CD029) | L Corrales | B | Worse than midfield about 6Ls off speed in middle stages, about 4Ls down in mid-division at last turn, never dangerous. |
11 | 5 | JOY TRUMPS (CD242) | K M Chin | B/TT | Best away, settled nicely on fence about 2Ls back in 5th at the 800 M, still thereabouts making last turn but failed to remain in touch. |
12 | 12 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | Z Purton | B | Raced and 3 and 4-wide (sometimes without cover down backstretch), 5Ls down in 9th at halfway, couldn't draw any closer in final stages. (Mildly lame next day.) |
13 | 3 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Worse than midfield about 6Ls behind with cover at 1000 M, 5-wide (widest of all) from the 600 M, didn't find much off the bridle. |
14 | 7 | WINNING AHEAD (CJ018) | Y T Cheng | B1/CC1/TT | Fractious in gates and slowest out, 3-wide no cover when 2Ls back in 3rd at 1000 M, struggling to lie up 700 M out, beaten turning in. |
