Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | ORIENTAL MAGIC (CE133) | G Mosse | TT2 | Quietly ridden about 6Ls off pace in 10th through first half, closer but briefly held up entering homestretch, quickened up well to lead about 150 M out, just hung on. |
2 | 11 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | E Saint-Martin | SR | Settled 9Ls last at 1000 M, crept closer to be 4Ls down in 12th off home turn, held up for a run from 300 M to 200 M when 3Ls down, ran on very strongly, post came just too soon, unlucky. |
3 | 3 | MY CHOICE (CC283) | B Prebble | -- | 4Ls off speed in 6th when 2-wide at 900 M, briefly held up when over 2Ls off pace taking final bend, bumped at 200 M when 1L off speed, kept on strongly again for a place. |
4 | 1 | GEM OF INDIA (CC008) | R Fradd | -- | 3-wide with cover 7Ls off pace in 11th at 1000 M, progress on bend to be 3-wide straightening when 3Ls down in mid-division, seemed certain of at least a place when 1L down in 3rd 150 M out, no extra. |
5 | 4 | FIVE GRAINS (CB280) | A Delpech | -- | Slowest away, about 8Ls behind in 13th at 1000 M, 3-wide and 6Ls last turning for home, ran on well to be nearest at the finish. |
6 | 8 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | C Soumillon | TT | On fence 1L behind leader in 2nd, disputing 2nd place a neck off the pace at home straight entrance, led by a neck 300 M out, headed by winner at 150 M, one-paced close home. |
7 | 9 | SIROCCO (CA169) | H W Lai | -- | Always 4-wide no cover, 5Ls off the speed in 7th at 1000 M, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home about 2Ls behind in 7th, outpaced by principals inside final 200 M. |
8 | 5 | BUMPER BUMPER (CD025) | C Brown | -- | Well placed on fence between 2 to 3Ls behind leader in 4th until home straight, didn't find much running room from 300 M to 100 M, may have finished a little closer. |
9 | 7 | TRIUMPHANT UNICORN (CD166) | S Dye | B | Keen early on, 2Ls off pace when 2-wide in 3rd at 1000 M, sharing 2nd place a neck behind leader turning for home, all out to be a head 2nd at the 200 M, weakened thereafter. |
10 | 13 | INDUSTRIAL SUCCESS (CC317) | Y T Cheng | B | On fence about 5Ls off the pace in 9th at 1000 M, about 4Ls down in 10th off home bend, 4Ls last at the 200 M and never able to threaten when it mattered. |
11 | 2 | EXPECTATIONS (CD078) | C W Wong | SR | In 12th place about 8Ls off the speed 900 M out, niggled along when 5Ls down in 12th at top of homestretch, 3Ls worse than midfield at the 200 M, drew no closer. |
12 | 12 | WEALTHY TREASURE (CC270) | D Whyte | -- | Head up and racing ungenerously at 900 M when covered up in midfield about 4Ls off speed, 3-wide on straightening when 3Ls off pace in midpack, never troubled leaders. |
13 | 14 | KINDACROSS (CG041) | F Coetzee | TT | Crossed from widest gate to lead by 1L on fence at 1000 M, a neck clear tackling home turn, headed 300 M out and weakened inside final 200 M. |
14 | 10 | WHATABOB (CD213) | O Doleuze | B | Mostly without cover, 4-wide back in 5th when 3Ls down at 900 M, 2Ls down and 4-wide on straightening in 4th place, swamped approaching the 200 M, eased late. |
