Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | LUMINOUS (CE300) | K C Leung | -- | Pressed on from wide gate and easily slipped into box-seat on rails from 1200 M to final bend, dug in well to lead about 30 M out and just held on. |
2 | 12 | NORDIC STAR (CH302) | M L Yeung | TT | Eased back, clipped heels about 900 M out when 5Ls back in 8th and same turning in, finished off very strongly but line came a stride or two early. |
3 | 3 | KENOBE (CH222) | M Du Plessis | XB | Worse than midfield as usual, 6Ls back in 9th at 600 M, 5-wide (widest) off final curve, rattled home strongly and only just failed. |
4 | 11 | FAIR WIN (CE027) | C K Tong | B | Scorched to lead by 4Ls about 1300 M out, soon steadied the pace and 1L clear from 800 M to final turn, 2Ls up at the 200 M, lost a place inside final 30 M. |
5 | 7 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | G Mosse | -- | Taken back from wide gate, 6Ls or 7Ls back in 10th until home straight, stayed on well along the inside, never nearer, much improved performance. |
6 | 9 | DASHING THUNDER (CD080) | C W Wong | -- | Trapped 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls back in 4th and pressed closer off final turn, one-paced but not a bad finish considering the tough trip. |
7 | 8 | MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) | E Saint-Martin | CP | 3-back along fence in midfield about 4Ls from the front from 1200 M to home turn, remained in midfield and no threat to principals. |
8 | 2 | BLUE SKY (CJ289) | O Doleuze | PC/H | Squeezed out at start, 2-wide and 5Ls back around midfield at 1000 M, fractionally closer turning in but never likely to improve much. |
9 | 10 | SUPREME GOLD (CH205) | W M Lai | TT | Over-raced at first, 3Ls back in 5th in middle stages and same entering home straight, outpaced from then on. |
10 | 4 | ADD THE FUN (CD308) | Z Purton | B | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1100 M and still on right on terms off last bend, sorely lacking a turn of foot and well beaten by the 200 M. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
11 | 6 | WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) | Y T Cheng | V1/TT | 9Ls back in rear at 1000 M and still last entering home straight, always well behind. |
12 | 5 | DIAMOND ERA (CE040) | H W Lai | B/TT | Always rearward and at least 6Ls from the speed, found nothing in the straight. (Fractured cannon bone.) |
