Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | GOODVIEW SUCCESSOR (M043) | D Whyte | B2 | Travelled strongly just off the pace, responded well and got to the front nearing 150M, kept on to hold off a renewed challenge from the runner-up. |
2 | 9 | SUNNY MORE (M150) | K C Leung | H/TT | Crossed to the lead without making too much use, took them along steadily, kept on under pressure and rallied back when headed near 150M, lost out narrowly. (Jockey suspended 2 days for dropping his whip 50M out.) |
3 | 5 | GLORY OF INDIA (CK130) | J Lloyd | TT | Behind midfield and saved ground on the inside, took time to muster turning in, did best work over the final 200M. |
4 | 3 | HEAR THE ROAR (M152) | D Beadman | H- | Restrained after the start, settled near last 7Ls off the pace, switched widest turning in, finished well despite hanging in final 200M. |
5 | 1 | TOM'S EIGHTH (CL087) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Fractious in the stall and was slow to begin, raced near last and much further back than intended, held up in early straight but ran on only fairly when clear. |
6 | 2 | ALMIGHTY WINDPOWER (CL272) | B Doyle | B | In midfield early, strode forward to race outside the lead when left with no cover from 1100M, kept on to 200M then weakened. |
7 | 7 | EAGLE SPIRIT (CL326) | M Du Plessis | TT | Not far off in 4th place, pushed along inside 500M, kept on at the same pace under maximum pressure. |
8 | 4 | AMITYSHIP (CK023) | O Doleuze | B- | Settled along the fence about 4Ls back in 5th, found little when asked, and never going the pace to challenge, eased when beaten 100M out. |
9 | 10 | BEST FRIEND (CH240) | T H So | B- | Raced as the backmarker from 1600M, had over 6Ls to make up going into final 400M, made limited progress only and was never a threat. |
10 | 8 | FULL SPIRIT (CL386) | G Cheyne | TT | Positioned 2-wide behind mid-division, not picked up when asked inside 500M, out of contention mid-straight. |
