Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | HELENE PILLAGING (CC084) | B Prebble | TT | Led early but settled into box-seat spot 2Ls behind in 3rd or 4th from 800 M to home straight, quickened up taking nice gap on fence at 300 M to lead 250 M out, always in charge thereafter. |
2 | 9 | GOODY (CD239) | A Delpech | -- | Settled 2-wide towards rear about 7Ls off pace at 800 M, 3-wide and 5Ls behind in 10th at home turn, ran on well to take 2nd close home but no chance with winner. |
3 | 7 | MY CHOICE (CC283) | D Whyte | SR | Crowded at 800 M when 3Ls down in 5th, 2Ls back in 4th off home turn, kept on gamely for a place. |
4 | 4 | ROCK N ROLL KID (CE629) | J Didham | -- | Always prominent, 1L down in 2nd out 2-wide from 800 M to home turn and at 200 M when all out, one-paced through concluding stages. |
5 | 3 | RAIDER (CC009) | F Coetzee | -- | About 7Ls off pace in 13th on fence until the 600 M, slightly closer off final bend when 3-wide, made some late ground but never really threatened. |
6 | 6 | STRATEGY (CE630) | M Nunes | -- | Awkwardly away, checked at 900 M and left 4Ls down in 7th at 800 M, same off final turn, lacked acceleration. |
7 | 12 | BUMPER BUMPER (CD025) | S Dye | -- | Worse than midfield and 5Ls off pace at 800 M, 3-wide but with cover on circle, 4Ls down and 4-wide on straightening, tended to hang in when one-paced in the finish. |
8 | 10 | JOYFUL SPIRIT (CB032) | G Schofield | -- | Fractious in gates, very slowly away and immediately detached by about 6Ls, tacked on 7Ls last on straightening when 4-wide, made minor late ground. |
9 | 2 | KEY TO SUCCESS (CC116) | C Soumillon | -- | Steadied at 1000 M and tight for room at 700 M when 5Ls off pace and worse than midfield, same off home turn, one-paced from then on. |
10 | 1 | CROWN'S GIFT (CD633) | O Chavez | -- | 4-wide without cover at 1000 M when 2Ls down in 5th at 1000 M, same entering home straight, one-paced from then on. |
11 | 13 | LISBOA STAND (CE632) | C Brown | B | Bumped at start, about 3Ls off pace in 6th or so from back to home straight, no danger after that. |
12 | 14 | MUNSON (CE631) | G Boss | -- | Led out 3-wide no cover at 1100 M, crossed to fence to lead by 1L at 800 M, all out when headed about 250 M out, faded. |
13 | 11 | TRIUMPHANT UNICORN (CD166) | D Holland | -- | Head up at 900 M and checked at 900 M to be 5Ls behind in 8th, under pressure off final bend to get closer, weakened. |
14 | 5 | ANALYST (CD631) | K M Chin | SR1 | Bumped at start, checked at 900 M and left 6Ls off pace worse than midfield at 800 M, brushed rail at 700 M and unbalanced, checked entering straight when 7Ls behind, dropped out. |
