Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | JEUNE KING PRAWN (BV270) | W C Marwing | -- | Soon 3-wide better than midfield, laying in a bit. Commenced run 300 M out, responded well and hit front inside final 100 M, stayed on well. |
2 | 11 | RED PEPPER (CA196) | G Mosse | -- | Waited with near rear, reached rail 900 M out. Still 7Ls adrift turning in, ran on well along rail final 300 M, just denied. |
3 | 9 | MERIDIAN STAR (BV177) | C Williams | SR | Niggled along early but outpaced at rear. Improved slightly 1000 M out to be 6Ls off lead on fence. Crept close rounding home turn, 4Ls down into straight, ran on well from 300 M, one-paced last bit. |
4 | 12 | RED SUN (CA046) | F Coetzee | TT | Soon handily placed 2Ls off pace on fence. Challenged leader 300 M out, hit front 200 M out, no extra when headed inside 100 M. (Swollen off side eye before race but passed suitable to race.) |
5 | 14 | THANK HEAVENS (BT224) | E Legrix | TT | Settled 2 or 3 wide 5Ls off lead rear of midfield. Ran on steadily from 250 M, effort not sustained concluding stages. |
6 | 4 | GOGGLES (CB140) | A Marcus | H | Missed start badly, gradually recovered ground to become midfield on rail 1100 M out. Made a little headway near 300 M, soon one-paced. |
7 | 3 | DANAMITE (CB003) | D Dunn | SR1 | Jumped fairly, then travelled 2-wide 3Ls off pace just in front of mid-division. 4Ls down upon straightening, not much room near 400 M, steadied and shifted in abruptly, recovered a little late ground passing tired runners. |
8 | 1 | ASIA RISING (BT270) | D Whyte | -- | Bit keen at rear, never less than 3-wide. Made up a little ground on outer from 250 M, one-paced closing stages. |
9 | 13 | SCORE (BS204) | S Dye | -- | Well there and wide early, then steadily taken back to rear 1000 M out, racing 3 or 4 wide. 8Ls down at tail turning in, crowded, struck heels and nearly fell 300 M out, recovered and passed beaten runners final 200 M. |
10 | 6 | HAPPY MOMENTUM (BV264) | O Doleuze | -- | Pulled a bit early around midfield. 4 or 5Ls adrift on straightening, minor improvement near 200 M, soon kept on at same pace. |
11 | 2 | BILLION WIN (BP218) | M Cahill | -- | Behind leaders, began to struggle to keep up before straightening, faded from 350 M. |
12 | 10 | MONARDS (BV267) | H K Yim | B | Pressed on to lead out wide, shifted across 1200 M out to be 3-wide outside leader. Took up lead into straight, swamped inside 300 M, dropped away. |
13 | 5 | GOOD RECORD (CA104) | E Saint-Martin | SR | Never far off out wide without cover, 3Ls off lead swinging for home, gave ground quickly from 300 M. |
14 | 8 | MAN OF HONOUR (BS267) | L Dettori | H | Began only fairly, steadily worked forward to take slender lead passing 1200 M. Headed just before straightening, weakened rapidly 300 M out and was not persevered with. |
