Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | FLORAL PICASSO (CJ225) | M Chadwick | TT | Settled 3-back the rails about 4Ls off pace through first half, peeled out at top of straight and led inside the 100 M, kept on well. |
2 | 2 | LEGEND (CK042) | B Prebble | -- | 8Ls back in 9th or 10th initially, still well back turning in, no chance with winner but stayed on strongly to nick 2nd on the line. |
3 | 5 | MIGHTY SUN (CK058) | M L Yeung | B | Crossed to lead on fence at the 1300 M, led or disputed lead setting a brisk pace until the home straight, still 1L ahead at 200 M, lost 2nd final strides. |
4 | 10 | WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) | Y T Cheng | B | Keen around midfield early on, pressed on to dispute lead at the 600 M, 1L down in 2nd at the 200 M, did just enough to hold 4th. |
5 | 6 | SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) | K T Yeung | CP | 4-back the rails in 7th about 4Ls off pace at halfway, 5Ls back in 5th turning in, kept on okay but no threat to principals. |
6 | 7 | SOARING RIVER (CK137) | B Doyle | SR | Close-up at first, 2Ls back in 2nd at the 800 M and 3Ls back in 3rd turning for home, one-paced to conclude. |
7 | 3 | DASHING THUNDER (CD080) | W C Marwing | CP- | Never any better than midfield, 5Ls back at halfway and worse taking the last turn, never likely. |
8 | 12 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | C W Wong | H1/TT | Very slow break, 9th on rails and 5Ls back in middle stages and no better off on straightening, always chasing and no danger. |
9 | 8 | KING OF HEARTS (CK214) | J Winks | XB/H1 | Taken back from wide gate, in rear between 7Ls and 9Ls off speed through to final turn, never really got involved. |
10 | 11 | AMITYSHIP (CK023) | K C Leung | B/TT | Checked at the 1300 M when 3rd or so, 3Ls back in 6th at halfway, further back turning for home, very one-paced. |
11 | 1 | ADD THE FUN (CD308) | H W Lai | B | 9Ls back in last at the 1000 M, didn't get much closer. |
12 | 4 | HUSSLER (CJ323) | D Whyte | B | Worked hard out wide no cover on first bend, got in 2-wide and 2Ls back in 3rd at the 800 M, struggling on the circle and unbalanced, weakened right out. |
