Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | LUCKY RECORD (CL429) | B Doyle | XB/TT | Taken back from an outside gate and made its run from the rear, 2 deep with cover. Came widest in the final stretch & grabbed victory close to the line. |
2 | 12 | SUNSHINE KID (M080) | O Doleuze | CP1/TT | Pushed straight to the lead and dictated terms along the rails. Had a decent break on the field at the 200m but was overhauled late. (Blood in trachea.) |
3 | 8 | TEAM WORK (CH276) | M Guyon | B | Parked midfield the paint. Ran into some traffic early in the straight, got home nicely once in the clear near the furlong. |
4 | 1 | HONEY FORTUNE (M243) | K C Leung | B/TT | Struck interference at the start and settled at the tail of the field along the paint. Closed off soundly to make the frame. |
5 | 9 | ALL THE WINNERS (CL019) | T H So | V | Carried out into a 3 wide line rounding the first turn and travelled 3 deep thereafter with some cover. Maintained a sound gallop all the way down the running. |
6 | 6 | DARK SECRET (M213) | G Cheyne | SR/TT | Camped midfield, 1off with cover. Kept up a reasonable gallop in the run to the wire. |
7 | 3 | LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) | C W Wong | B | Stalked the leader on the rails. Had every chance but failed to capitalize when asked for an effort in the final stretch. |
8 | 4 | JOHN DORY (M009) | D Beadman | B | Settled back towards the rear, 3 wide with cover. Struggled in the home straight. |
9 | 10 | GRACYTOM (CL408) | C Y Ho | B/H | Tracked the leader along the fence early before racing keenly and taking up a position 1 out 1 back near the 700m. Faded over the concluding stages. |
10 | 5 | ROCKET PROUD (CL392) | G Mosse | B/TT | Settled midfield 3 deep with cover. Peeled out early in the final stretch but only plodded to the line. |
11 | 11 | CAGA SPIRIT (CK287) | Y T Cheng | -- | Taken back from a wide gate and settled with the backmakers, 2 deep with cover. Badly held up early in the straight and was severely checked off heels. Never recovered. |
12 | 7 | NATURAL FLAME (CK016) | M L Yeung | XB-/B | Eventually worked across to sit outside the leader after the 700m, hung out after the 600m and failed to offer any extra effort at the business end of the race. (Blood in trachea.) |
