Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | ELECTRONICS SPUR (CE285) | F Coetzee | TT | Prominent in 4th or 5th about 2Ls off speed but 3-wide no cover for much of backstretch and same entering homestretch, half a length down in 3rd at 200 M, stayed on well to lead final strides. |
2 | 13 | MASTER SPIRIT (CE067) | S Dye | -- | Tended to over-race a little when 1L off pace in 3rd at 1000 M, same margin taking home turn before leading at 200 M, battled on well despite being headed inside final strides. |
3 | 10 | FORTUNE PRINCESS (CE122) | C Munce | B-/TT- | 2-wide and 3Ls down in 5th at 1000 M, closer entering straight and held up from 400 M to 200 M, ran on well once clear, unlucky. |
4 | 6 | SPARKLING STAR (CD055) | E Saint-Martin | CP-/B2 | Awkwardly away losing ground, always 4-wide no cover at least 5Ls off pace towards rear until the 600 M, 6-wide (widest of all) on straightening when 3Ls down, stayed on very well despite tough trip. |
5 | 5 | MULTI MILLIONS (CD207) | D Whyte | B-/SR1 | 2-wide and 4Ls off pace in midfield until the 800 M, a little closer on straightening and 2Ls down in chasing pack at 200 M, failed to follow through and tended to carry head awkwardly. |
6 | 2 | NORTHERN ROSE (CC268) | O Doleuze | SR | 3-wide with cover and worse than midfield about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, hung out at 700 M, 5-wide straightening for home when 4Ls behind in 10th, held by principals when steadied at 100 M. |
7 | 1 | BYRON (CD275) | G Schofield | -- | One from rear about 6Ls off speed at 1000 M, 3-wide and 5Ls down in 12th on straightening, always outpaced. |
8 | 14 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | M Rodd | -- | 2-wide and a neck off pace in 2nd at 1000 M, same margin behind through to final bend, brief lead at 300 M before being headed at 200 M, faded thereafter. |
9 | 7 | CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) | B Prebble | H | Awkwardly away, 3-back on fence about 4Ls off pace at 1000 M, closer at top of home straight and crowded at 300 M, never troubled principals. |
10 | 11 | GREEN WARRIOR (CD385) | Y T Cheng | CP/TT- | Keen early on, led by 1L at 1000 M, disputed lead from 800 M to home straight entrance, about to be swamped when checked at 150 M. |
11 | 9 | ASSET PLAY (CC147) | P H Lo | CP | Had the box seat run on fence 2Ls off pace until home turn, swamped at 200 M and eased close home. |
12 | 4 | EVERGREEN (CE106) | R Fradd | B/TT | 3-wide with cover when 4Ls or 5Ls behind in midfield at 800 M, 4-wide on straightening when 3Ls behind, didn't quicken and eased inside final 200 M. |
13 | 12 | LUCKY DICE (CB101) | S K Sit | B | Always detached and under pressure in rear, never a factor. |
14 | 3 | PERFETTO (CB423) | G Mosse | B | Slowly away, never travelled well about 6Ls off pace towards rear, well beaten when eased down 200 M out. |
