Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) | W M Lai | -- | Quickly taken to the front under a positive ride, took them along steadily and travelled the best going into final 400 M, soon quickened away and opened up an unassailable gap. Won with ease. |
2 | 3 | WASABISABI (CJ221) | M Chadwick | B | Lost ground when checked after leaving the stalls, failed to muster speed and became detached in last trailing over 8Ls in early stages, began to pick up inside 400 M and finished off the race in eye catching style. (Jockey questioned.) |
3 | 13 | BLESS US ALL (CK086) | M W Leung | B/XB | Poor start, towards the rear early but gradually weaved his way through to be 4th at the 400 M mark, kept on soundly to 100 M but weakened close home. |
4 | 1 | FLYING COLOURS (CJ111) | W C Marwing | CP1 | Never far away on the Stands' side, under pressure midway but stayed on encouragingly to just miss out on 3rd. |
5 | 4 | CHEERFUL CITY (CK009) | Y T Cheng | TT1 | Keen early on, placed handily behind leaders, came with a strong looking challenge 300 M out but ran flat close home. A pleasing debut effort nevertheless. |
5 | 5 | FANTASTISCH (CK017) | J Lloyd | -- | Obtained cover behind midfield, switched to the nearside rail inside 400 M, ran on OK to the line. |
7 | 8 | HO WONGCHOY (CK275) | B Doyle | -- | Broke well, settled in mid-division towards the outside of field, hard pushed inside 400 M but the response was one-paced. |
8 | 11 | THE KID (CK080) | J Winks | -- | Close enough to early leaders but ran green in his debut and inclined to hang out for the major parts of the race, unable to quicken under pressure and got tired close home. |
9 | 12 | BE MY SONG (CH272) | K T Yeung | B/H | Hampered on jumping but soon recovered to race in the front rank, held every chance but failed to find much when the race got serious. |
10 | 2 | CLASSA FOR EVER (CD085) | T H So | B/TT | Shifted abruptly after start, gradually moved up to force the pace, headed 350 M out and gave ground rapidly thereafter. |
11 | 6 | FORTUNE KING (CK201) | D Beadman | -- | In midfield 2Ls off leaders, under serious pressure from halfway and was outpaced inside 400 M, eased close home. |
12 | 9 | SPEED RACER (CK207) | C K Tong | CP-/SR1 | Slow into stride, niggled along to hold this position but failed to muster pace, near the rear throughout and was never in the hunt. |
13 | 14 | TELECOM LUCKY STAR (CK025) | C W Wong | TT | Settled towards the rear along the stands' rail, had plenty to do going into final 400 M but found nothing to pressure, dropped away close home. |
