Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | WONDERFUL BLESSING (CE198) | E Saint-Martin | CP/TT | Patiently handled in 9th about 6Ls or 7Ls from the speed, 5-wide turning for home and let down well to lead 100 M out, kept on strongly. |
2 | 1 | FLORAL NIRVANA (CH232) | K L Chui | TT | Mostly 3-back along the rails in 4th until the 600 M, driven along entering homestretch, stayed on fairly well but lacked the dash of the winner. |
3 | 12 | FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) | W M Lai | CP-/B2 | On the fence in 7th about 5Ls or 6Ls from the pace at 1200 M, retrieved some nice late ground in the home straight to place. |
4 | 2 | INDUSTRIAL EXPRESS (CH103) | D Whyte | -- | Settled 2-wide in 8th about 6Ls or 7Ls from the speed until the 600 M, wider turning for home but was too one-paced to figure in the money. |
5 | 3 | LOCAL POWER (CH296) | Y T Cheng | -- | 2-wide and 3Ls back in 3rd at 1200 M, 1L down in 2nd from back to home straight, briefly led at the 200 M but couldn't sustain the bid and missed a place. |
6 | 7 | LONDON EXPRESS (CH107) | G Mosse | -- | 6th and 2-wide roughly 5Ls from the speed at 1200 M and much the same turning for home, tried to challenge along inside but was outpaced. (Riding at 100 M questioned.) |
7 | 10 | WINBO (CJ085) | S K Sit | -- | Crossed to fence to lead by 1L passing winning post for the first time, held a margin until straightening for home straight and weakened late on. (Questioned.) |
8 | 4 | THE GOODIES (CH097) | M Du Plessis | H/TT | Very poor start and left 6Ls behind 2nd last runner, always rearward and still 10Ls last at 600 M, tried to loop the field but the run peaked 200 M out. |
9 | 5 | NOBLE HEART (CC355) | Z Purton | B/TT | Went back from wide gate, 9Ls adrift and one from rear at 1200 M, 6Ls behind off last bend, made no impact. |
10 | 11 | RELY ON ME (CE068) | C K Tong | B/TT | Cut out the early pace before handing up 1500 M out, box-seated in 3rd down back straight, swamped at the furlong pole and faded out. |
11 | 9 | FANTASTIC DANCER (CJ001) | B Doyle | -- | Very tame effort, went back from wide gate, always rearward and at least 7Ls or 8Ls from the speed and offered little or nothing. |
12 | 8 | AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) | W C Marwing | B | 2-wide and 4Ls back in 4th at 1200 M, pressured to maintain this proximity swinging for home, dropped out fast. (Questioned.) |
