1 | 4 | WISE LOVER (CE095) | C Soumillon | B | Slow, awkward break, 3-back on fence about 4Ls behind leader at 1000 M, 2-wide and 3Ls down in 5th at top of homestretch, nice turn of foot to lead 50 M out, won going away. |
2 | 3 | RED WINE SUPREME (CE240) | S Dye | B/TT | 2-wide and 1L outside leader in 2nd at 1000 M, sent on to lead at top of home straight, 1L clear at 200 M, grabbed by winner 50 M out but had done enough to hang onto 2nd. |
3 | 6 | SMART FELLOW (CG031) | E Saint-Martin | TT | 2-wide outside winner in midfield at 1000 M, threw head up and lost ground on the circle to be 4Ls back in 9th entering stretch, rallied again late to snatch 3rd on the line. |
4 | 9 | CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) | A Delpech | -- | Had the run of the race on fence about 2Ls off speed in 4th from 1000 M to home straight, same position at the 200 M, kept on well without threatening quinella pair, lost 3rd on the line. |
5 | 13 | BOREAS (CE086) | H W Lai | CP | 2Ls down in 5th when 2-wide at 900 M, 1L behind in 3rd when 3-wide taking home turn, all out when 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, weakened inside final 100 M. |
6 | 5 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | C Brown | B- | 3-wide with cover in about 10th about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, similar margin behind when 5-wide taking final bend, ran on quite well without troubling principals. |
7 | 12 | MASTER ABLE (CD349) | W M Lai | -- | In rear group at least 6Ls behind leaders down the back, 6-wide (widest of all) on straightening for home when still well back in rear, moderate late headway past some beaten runners. |
8 | 11 | TO THE POINT (CG014) | D Whyte | -- | 4-back on fence and worse than midfield between 4 and 5Ls off pace until final bend, always well held in home straight. |
9 | 7 | FABULOUS TREASURE (CG069) | S Sanders | -- | Head up at 1200 M in rear about 7Ls back, under pressure in rear off home turn about 6Ls off pace, made no impression. |
10 | 10 | AFRICAN FOREST (CD174) | C K Tong | V/TT | Crossed from midfield to lead on fence at 1000 M, under 1L clear on the circle and headed at top of home straight, soon faded out. |
11 | 8 | FIGHT BACK (CE058) | G Mosse | B/TT | About 4Ls off the pace in midfield through to homestretch, briefly threatened a place when over 2Ls down in 6th at 200 M, no extra and weakened late. |
12 | 2 | HAPPY CRUSADER (CE080) | O Doleuze | SR/B1/TT | Fractious in gates and didn't break well, never better than midfield at least 5Ls off pace in 11th or so, tame effort in home straight. |
13 | 1 | SIR OCTAVIUS (CB427) | C W Wong | -- | 3-wide with cover down backstretch when about 3Ls off the speed in midfield, 4-wide no cover from 800 M to home straight when similar margin off pace, very weak inside final 200 M. |
14 | 14 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | F Coetzee | TT | 3-wide no cover when 2Ls off the speed in 3rd at 1000 M, struggling to keep up when 4-wide entering home straight about 3Ls down in midfield, soon well outpaced. |
