Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | MASTER POWER (CG318) | D Beadman | B | Began evenly, sat 3 to 4Ls back behind pace on rails, soft run to bend, into clear at 300 M, hit lead inside 150 M and outlasted fast finishing rival. |
2 | 5 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | G Mosse | SR/TT | No pace as usual, back a clear last 10Ls away, began to improve on bend, in traffic turning, weaved between horses, in straight and closed hard for 2nd despite trouble at 100 M. |
3 | 7 | DANZULU (CJ069) | B Prebble | B | Out in line, ended up in midfield 4 to 5Ls back, enjoyed a good trip in mid-section, challenged inside 300 M, just couldn't get close last 50 M. |
4 | 8 | ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) | D Whyte | -- | Began with rest, couldn't get closer than 3 wide but had cover, best part of 7Ls or so back to bend, made useful progress in straight to make frame. |
5 | 2 | BERIO (CJ202) | K C Leung | V | Showed early speed, worked across from outside gate to sit outside leader, kept speed even in middle stages, in mix most of straight just gassed final 100 M, restricted room late. |
6 | 10 | GRAND DRAGON (CK064) | S Dye | -- | Began with more purpose, slotted into 1 out 1 back spot closer than usual, 2 to 3Ls back rounding bend, battled away at same speed in straight. |
7 | 9 | EXCEPTIONAL ART (CL174) | H W Lai | -- | Average break, 7 to 8Ls back in rear division on rails, saved ground on bend, worked home soundly along inside despite running out of room at 100 M and not ridden out late. |
8 | 4 | QUICK TOUCH (CJ196) | K W Leung | -- | Tardy jump, improved into midfield but raced 3 wide 4 to 5Ls back, had cover to bend, kept trying but extra ground covered took toll and emptied 300 M. |
9 | 3 | DOUBLE LUCK (CH239) | C K Tong | -- | Showed speed to hold spot on leaders back, sectionals good in mid-section, close enough turning, didn't see out trip final furlong producing a one paced finish. |
10 | 12 | CHINA DRAGON (CL104) | O Doleuze | -- | Little early speed, rear division 7 to 8Ls back, never nearer in mid-section, made only minor ground without threatening. |
11 | 14 | NOBLE MAN (CC099) | K M Chin | -- | Standard break, 5Ls back in running line throughout, still behind midfield to bend, didn't improve and struggled in run home. |
12 | 11 | POT OF GOLD (CJ286) | M Chadwick | TT | Away well, went on to lead, set an even tempo in front, was joined leaving turn, gave in inside 250 M and faded out. |
13 | 6 | LU YUE (CH278) | C W Wong | B | Well enough away, pressed on but stuck 3 wide without cover 2Ls back, faced a hard journey to bend, run took toll and dropped right out. |
14 | 13 | GRAND STORE (CH087) | M W Leung | -- | Standard jump, midfield or worse racing on rails, 6Ls back to bend, didn't act on surface and weakened to be beaten a long way. |
