Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | NICE MEMORIES (BV152) | K H Ting | -- | Ridden forward. Well there. Dropped back steadily from 900 M to midfield or better rounding home bend. Quickened well final 200 M to snatch win just before the post and held off challenge from 2nd horse. |
2 | 3 | WINNING YEARS (BP249) | W S Yu | B | Broke well from wide draw but soon settled behind midfield. Went widest turning in. Responded well final 200 M and grabbed 2nd place final strides while being just held off by the winner. |
3 | 2 | ELECTRONIC DRAGON (BP019) | S King | B | Mainly in touch. Ran on well and took lead 100 M out. Kept on but was outsprinted by the first pair close home. |
4 | 10 | DR WIN (BT203) | R Fradd | B | Soon outpaced to the rear. Steady progress rounding home bend to be behind midfield turning in. Ran on steadily to be nearest at finish without threatening placed horses. |
4 | 14 | SIMON'S DECISION (BS071) | D Whyte | B/TT | Bumped at start and remained at rear. Awkwardly placed for some distance after 600 M. Made up good ground from 300 M despite being steadied and shifted out at 100 M. |
6 | 12 | INTRIGUE (BV018) | J Quinn | -- | Jumped well from widest draw and moved across gradually to be just off the pace. Improved to 2nd from 850 M. Ran on well upon straightening and led 300 M out. Kept on until no extra final 100 M. |
7 | 5 | STAR DRAGON (BV078) | W Woods | -- | Soon moved up and led briefly at 1200 M before settling behind the leaders. Kept on well in straight until effort not sustained in the closing stages. |
8 | 9 | BANK ON IT (BT236) | F Coetzee | TT | Prominent before dropping back to midfield from 1100 M. Kept on one-paced in straight. |
9 | 7 | CHAMPION BOMB (BV128) | B Marcus | B1 | At back. Made up some ground final 200 M. |
10 | 4 | HARVARD (BP081) | D Harrison | B | Broke best. Led or disputed lead to home straight. Headed 300 M and then got crowded. Not a factor afterwards. |
11 | 13 | COQ D'OR (BV010) | E Legrix | -- | Mostly midfield or behind. Failed to make any impression in the straight. |
12 | 11 | ENORMOUS WAY (BV136) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Midfield early. Steadily dropped back near 1000 M and trailed the field. |
13 | 6 | BORN SMART (BV138) | K Fallon | -- | Soon midfield or better. Tired badly 300 M out. |
14 | 8 | SUNDANCE FLYER (BV149) | D Boeuf | -- | Midfield or better. Crowded slightly and lost a little ground at 800 M. Not a factor thereafter. |
