Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 11 | LEADING CITY (CK298) | D Oliver | H | Broke amongst first few, pressed to take up running, set terms to suit, kicked strongly at 350m and defied some smart rivals for a strong win. |
2 | 9 | PAGANINI'S SOUL (CL373) | D Whyte | XB | Away well enough, slotted in to spot in midfield behind pace, good run 4Ls back in midfield, came 3 wide turning and chased gamely but unable to peg back winner despite gaining late. |
3 | 1 | CAPTAIN SWEET (CL354) | B Prebble | -- | Reasonable break, assumed ideal position 1 out 1 back, had run of race to bend, loomed strongly at 250m but couldn’t find extra final 100m. |
4 | 14 | HAPPY PRESTIGE (CL081) | G Cheyne | B | Began nicely, assumed role on leaders back, tracked well throughout, right there turning, no extra 200m but fought on ok. |
5 | 13 | CHATER MIKADO (M100) | Z Purton | -- | Settled 3 wide just off midfield, had cover 6Ls or so back on bend, swung wider turning and made even progress to be nearest on line. |
6 | 5 | DRAGON FIGHTER (CL260) | M L Yeung | -- | Began best, pushed on to sit outside leader, fair run to bend, niggled turning and hung on to 200m before fading. |
7 | 7 | PURE CHAMPION (M178) | G Mosse | TT | Drifted back to rear soon after start, more than 10Ls back at tail, took inside runs, closed ok without threatening. |
8 | 10 | DIEGO (CK088) | M Guyon | B | Went back as usual, 3 wide at rear 9Ls off top end, came even wider turning, lacked usual finish and just made modest progress. |
9 | 2 | FLEET COMMAND (CK077) | J Lloyd | SR | Ended up midfield on rails, 5-6Ls back throughout, easy time on fence to bend, lacked an extra gear and just plugged away in straight. |
10 | 12 | MR BOND (M098) | P Strydom | -- | Ended up midfield 3 wide with cover from an awkward draw, did it tough 5Ls of so away in mid section, made a little ground in straight but saddle shifted 150 M, no run on thereafter. |
11 | 4 | TURF EXPRESS (CL399) | B Doyle | TT | Faded back from an outside draw, 8Ls away in 2 wide line, plenty to do turning, made no real progress. |
12 | 6 | FORTUNE RED PEPPER (CK199) | O Doleuze | -- | Settled just behind midfield 6Ls back in 2 wide line, no excuses in run, lacked a dash in straight. |
13 | 3 | PERFECT GEAR (CL014) | W C Marwing | -- | Posted 3 wide without cover 3Ls back, worked too hard to bend, was a spent force soon after and faded out. |
14 | 8 | IRON EAGLE (M156) | W M Lai | H1 | Behind midfield on rails, 8Ls of so back to bend, unable to quicken at business end. |
