Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | RIVER DANCER (CC109) | G Schofield | -- | 2-wide about 5Ls off pace in midfield until 800 M out, pressed on to be 4-wide and 3Ls down disputing 3rd off home turn, quickened up well to lead 200 M out, stayed on strongly. |
2 | 14 | ELEGANT FASHION (CC190) | G Mosse | -- | 4Ls behind leader on fence in 5th at 1600 M, 3Ls down when disputing 3rd off home turn, picked up well and narrowly 2nd at 200 M out, kept on gamely but always held by winner. |
3 | 7 | SCOTT'S VIEW (CD639) | K M Chin | -- | On fence 6Ls off the speed in 7th at the 1400 M, 5Ls behind in 6th at 800 M, roughly the same entering straight, held up for a run until 300 M out, ran on well once in the clear, nearest at finish. |
4 | 3 | BOWMAN'S CROSSING (CB138) | S Dye | SR | Held up 12Ls last 1400 M out, 7Ls last but 3-wide off home turn, ran on strongly down centre of track, nearest at finish. |
5 | 5 | RIGHT APPROACH (CD638) | W C Marwing | TT | A little keen when 2-wide and 7Ls off pace in 8th at 1400 M, 6Ls off pace in 9th at 800 M, 4-wide into home straight when 4Ls down, 2Ls down and disputing 4th at 200 M, no extra. |
6 | 1 | LUCKY OWNERS (CB454) | F Coetzee | -- | 2-wide and 3Ls off the speed in 4th at 1600 M, niggled along when 4Ls down in 5th at 800 M, 3-wide at 600 M and 3Ls down disputing 4th off home turn, always looked held. (Lame next day.) |
7 | 13 | SATURN (CD154) | A Marcus | -- | Led by 1L on fence at 1600 M, 2Ls to the good at the 800 M and off home turn, grabbed 200 M out, weakened. |
8 | 10 | VISORHILL (CB254) | P Payne | -- | Had the run of the race on the fence in 3rd or 4th through to 600 M out, 2Ls down in 2nd and going well with every chance off home turn, didn't find much under pressure. |
9 | 11 | BLUE STITCH (CB031) | R Fradd | B-/V1/TT | On fence 8Ls off the pace in 9th at 1400 M, 6Ls behind in 9th at 800 M, 5Ls behind in 9th off home turn, staying on 2Ls down in mid-division when squeezed at 200 M, didn't recover. |
10 | 4 | BULLISH LUCK (CC155) | O Doleuze | B | Over-raced when 9Ls behind 2-wide in 10th at 1400 M, 2-wide and 8Ls down in 10th at 800 M, 5-wide (widest) into home straight when 5Ls down towards rear, didn't trouble leaders. |
11 | 12 | AIN'T HERE (CC288) | B Prebble | -- | 3-wide without cover 10Ls off pace in 13th at 1400 M, 8Ls down in 12th at 800 M, about 6Ls down in 10th off home turn, looked well held when squeezed for room at 200 M. |
12 | 6 | SARAFAN (CC625) | A Suborics | SR/TT | 9Ls off pace on fence in 11th at 1400 M, still towards rear and 7Ls down off home turn, made little impression. |
13 | 2 | PAOLINI (CC628) | E Pedroza | -- | Keen early, 10Ls behind when on fence at the 1400 M, 7Ls down in rear off home turn, never a factor. (Lame.) |
14 | 8 | TIBER (CD155) | D Whyte | TT | 3-wide without cover early, pressed on to be 2-wide 1L off pace in 2nd at 1600 M, 2Ls down in 2nd at 800 M, under pressure at 600 M, dropped out rapidly, eased from top of home straight. (Significant amount of blood in trachea.) |
