Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | SEA DIAMOND (N237) | W C Marwing | H/XB/TT | Posted 3 wide without cover 2-3ls back, steady speed made job easier, dashed strongly turning and eventually won battle over final 300m to take solid victory. |
2 | 10 | WINNING LEADER (N268) | Z Purton | H | Pressed on from a wide gate to sit outside leader, enjoyed a nice run with steady sections, in duel with eventual winner length on straight and lost out final 50m. |
3 | 6 | TOUR DE FORCE (N297) | D Whyte | B | Raced 3 wide with cover, 5ls back in mid field, steady tempo no ideally to suit, followed eventual winner through turning but couldn't match dash, stuck on well for a clear 3rd. |
4 | 13 | MEGA CHAMPION (M149) | M Chadwick | TT | Allowed to settle in midfield 4ls or so back in running line, fair run to bend, closed off evenly to make frame without threatening first trio. |
5 | 7 | ALPINEFIELD (P126) | T Angland | -- | Settled in rear division 6ls or so away in running line, less than even tempo not ideal, made ground approaching turn, closed ok making steady progress in run to line. |
6 | 8 | DRAGON FIGHTER (CL260) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Unable to slot in and posted 3 and 4 wide throughout, worked hard with co cover 4ls back on bend, managed to hold ground evenly in straight which was creditable given workload. |
7 | 4 | PRETTY ONE (CL418) | A Suborics | TT | Took an ideal role on leaders back, aided by steady tempo and used little to bend, lacked an extra gear to factor in straight and dropped off final furlong. |
8 | 12 | LORD SINCLAIR (N447) | B Prebble | H- | Assumed ideal role, 1 out 1 back, no excuses in run, in 3rd place turning, one paced when asked for effort and just battled away. |
9 | 2 | KA YING KID (P189) | T Clark | XB/TT | Showed speed to work across and lead, set terms to suit in front, headed soon after turning in and just battled away at one speed in straight. |
10 | 3 | NICE FOLKS (CL421) | O Doleuze | B | Taken back from an outside alley, shared rear 7ls or so back racing 2 wide, pace against in mid-section, made some minor headway late from well back. |
11 | 9 | STRATHTAY (N235) | C Y Ho | SR | Drifted back from an awkward draw, raced 7ls or so away sharing rear, pace not to suit early on, well back turning, only passed tired runner late. |
12 | 11 | SUPREME FALCON (P224) | G Mosse | H1 | Ended up just off midfield 5ls from top end, unsuited by tempo in middle stages, took inside runs turning, just stayed on at one pace in straight. |
13 | 14 | SPLENDID VICTORY (P034) | R Fourie | XB1 | Took a trail 3ls back on rails, enjoyed a quiet time in mid-section, struggling turning and gradually dropped off in straight. |
14 | 1 | GREAT AND BEYOND (N400) | Y T Cheng | -- | Raced 3 wide behind midfield, had cover 6-7l;s back, well back turning and never looked likely. |
