Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | TERRIFIC BRETHREN (CH298) | M Chadwick | TT | Began well, soon led and controlled race from outset, held a 1L advantage on bend, increased pace turning and proved too hard to catch for rivals holding margin in run to line. |
2 | 11 | GOOD PARTNER (CE221) | O Doleuze | XB/V1 | Out in line, held prime position on leaders back, enjoyed an easy time with moderate sections, right there on turning, stuck to task but unable to match turn of foot of winner late. |
3 | 5 | WHIPLASH (CG072) | G Mosse | -- | Reasonable break, slotted in nicely to 1 out 1 back spot 3Ls away, had run of race to bend with steady pace, into clear passing 400 M but couldn't pair back first two over final furlong. |
4 | 4 | OSVALDO (CK075) | C K Tong | TT | Jumped with rest, posted 3 wide without cover 4Ls away in front of midfield, helped by steady tempo and gradually improved on bend, kept coming in straight and made frame despite tough run. |
5 | 6 | MING HOI TREASURE (CK145) | D Beadman | TT | Fair jump, took a midfield spot 4 to 5Ls back in running line, raced keenly with slow trip to bend, eased out at 400 M, kept coming in straight to be nearest on line. |
6 | 9 | SPECIAL K (CK114) | B Prebble | -- | Taken back from a wide gate, shared rear 8Ls of slow tempo, chances harmed with slow pace in mid-section, still well back turning, made remarkable ground from tail to be closest at finish. |
7 | 12 | HORSE WIN WIN (CJ078) | W C Marwing | -- | Slow out, recovered to hold a midfield spot 4 to 5Ls away on rails, used nothing on bend, kept to inside in straight but effort was one paced jut holding ground in run to line. |
8 | 13 | FIRST BEAT (CK127) | J Victoire | TT | Showed good early pace to race alongside leader, advantaged by slow tempo in middle stages, still 1L back turning, hung in final 300 M but unable to keep on last 200 M and weakened out. (Bled.) |
9 | 8 | LASKER (CJ340) | J Winks | XB | Restrained from an awkward alley, raced 6Ls away on rails, not helped by slow speed on, saved ground on bend, made some minor progress late along rails. |
10 | 10 | ENCHANTED (CE065) | C Soumillon | B- | Allowed to drift back into position behind midfield, raced 3 wide 6Ls off steady speed, not helped by way race was run to bend, lacked needed response in straight. |
