Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 13 | FAIR NAVIGATOR (CJ254) | G Cheyne | V/TT | Cruised to cross and lead in the early stages towards the outside rail. Drew a margin midrace and took control thereafter to land a deserved victory. |
2 | 8 | SMART GIANT (CL405) | D Beadman | XB1/TT1 | Couldn't match the early speed settling midfield near the middle of the course. Closed off well under strong riding. |
3 | 5 | NEW VISION (M028) | D Whyte | -- | Began awkwardly but recovered to camp close to the speed 3-4 off the grandstand side. Maintained a good gallop right to the finish. |
4 | 12 | HOT PEPPER (CJ236) | T H So | TT | Ridden prominently with a good trail behind the speed. Made reasonable ground over the last 100m. |
5 | 1 | VINTAGE HUSSLER (CL266) | C Y Ho | -- | Had every chance after tracking the leader near the stand side. Stayed at the same speed over the closing stages. |
6 | 11 | KING OF FISH II (CL264) | K C Leung | -- | Travelled close to midfield with cover. Rolled in near the 400m and commenced to challenge but never really quickened. |
7 | 7 | SCENT OF OSMANTHUS (CL341) | Y T Cheng | B1 | Raced behind midfield 2-3 off the outside rail. Ranged up and made reasonable ground from the final 100m, was steadied and shifted in whilst continuing to run on near the 50m. |
8 | 2 | MULTIPROUD (CL301) | F Coetzee | TT | Race midfield along the grandstand stand side. Kept on evenly over the last 100m. |
9 | 10 | GUNNER MAC (CJ192) | T Angland | B | Blundered at the start racing back in the event with cover. Only plodded to the line. |
10 | 3 | FULL VERSION (CL348) | M W Leung | -- | Missed the start settling a long last. Ridden along to keep in touch with the field and made some ground on tiring runners in the latter stages. |
11 | 6 | POLYMER POWER (CL417) | H W Lai | -- | Slow to begin settling well back in the field. Struggled in the run home. |
12 | 9 | TARTUFO (CL337) | C K Tong | B1 | Raced close to midfield towards the middle of the course. Gave ground quickly inside the final furlong. |
13 | 14 | WORLD WAY (CL202) | J Lloyd | H-/B1 | Raced handy to the speed but weakened sharply over the final stages. (Reported to be lame in the left fore the following day.) |
14 | 4 | KINGS DOMAIN (CL219) | W M Lai | B1/XB1/TT1 | Travelled near the centre of the track behind the speed. Was well beaten near the 200m, and tired noticeably in the run to the wire and was eased down. |
