Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 11 | SPEEDY EXPRESS (CB365) | R Fradd | B | Away well, disputed lead on fence through to home straight when travelling well, half a length clear and hard ridden at 200 M, hung on gamely under pressure. |
2 | 9 | AMAZING (CB331) | D Whyte | SR- | In midfield and 2-wide niggled along to hold position 900 M out when 4Ls off pace, 5Ls down and hard ridden and in 9th on straightening, kept on very well for pressure to nearly win. |
3 | 7 | SOUNDS BETTER (CC104) | G Schofield | -- | Steadied at start, on fence about 4Ls off pace in about 8th or 9th at 800 M and same into home straight, stayed on well in the home straight for a place. |
4 | 10 | JOYFUL MASTER (CA289) | W Woods | PC | In 3rd or 4th place about 2-wide 2Ls off pace through to home straight, loomed with every chance when half a length down in 2nd at 200 M, no extra, missed a place close home. |
5 | 8 | TANAHMERAH (CC051) | D Dunn | V-/P1 | On fence about 6Ls off pace in rear until 500 M out, ran on steadily through closing stages, never really troubled principals. |
6 | 12 | UPBEAT (CC347) | S Dye | B | Always caught wide without cover, half a length off pace at 800 M and 3-wide at 800 M, 4-wide into straight when 2Ls down in 4th, still 2Ls down in 4th at 200 M, one-paced thereafter. |
7 | 4 | WISHMASTER (CB240) | H K Yim | SR/H | Pressed on to dispute lead out 2-wide down back straight, a neck down in 2nd off home straight, all out to get within 1L of the pace in 3rd at the 200 M, weakened. |
8 | 1 | TRUST ME (CA144) | C Williams | -- | 2-wide and about 3Ls or 4Ls off the speed through to home straight, very one-paced thereafter. |
9 | 6 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | D Boeuf | SR/CO | Awkwardly away, 2-wide and 5Ls off pace in 11th at 900 M, hung out badly around the circle, last when 5-wide (widest of all) into home straight and 8Ls down, made a little late ground. |
10 | 5 | MAJOR BEE (CB374) | K C Tsang | B | Couldn't lead despite hard riding, raced on fence between 2Ls and 3Ls off the speed from 800 M to home straight when under strong pressure, faded out gradually. (Lame.) |
11 | 2 | BORN DRAGON (BS215) | M Kinane | B- | Never really got involved, 3-wide and 4Ls off pace in 10th at the 800 M, ridden along when 6Ls down and 3-wide on straightening in 10th place, found nothing under pressure. (Lame.) |
12 | 3 | SHARE THE FUN (CC111) | G Mosse | TT | Bumped at the start, hindered about 900 M out, 3-wide with cover and 3Ls off pace in midfield at 800 M, steadily lost position on the circle, soon beaten. |
