Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | FAY FAY (CL284) | D Whyte | -- | Restrained to find cover, raced 3 wide behind midfield, enjoyed a good trail into race, came 4 wide turning and let down strongly at 250m, dashed too well and drew away for another commanding win. |
2 | 7 | SEMOS (M125) | T Angland | B/TT1 | Ended up well back from a tricky alley, 8Ls or so away on rails, aided by tempo but set a task turning, weaved a passage between horses making good ground late before inconvenienced, still able to take 2nd late. |
3 | 6 | HELENE SPIRIT (M310) | M Du Plessis | TT | Out in line, ended up 6Ls away in midfield, crept closer approaching bend, worked into clear with a good run, kept on well but lost 2nd placing final 50m. |
4 | 5 | DRAGON FIGHTER (CL260) | M L Yeung | -- | Away ok, raced 3Ls or so away on rails, had a quiet run to bend, in mix most of straight before drifting late and bumping, lost place final 50m. |
5 | 4 | TURF EXPRESS (CL399) | G Mosse | TT | Began nicely, angled into 1 out 1 back spot, even run with decent speed on, no excuse to bend, loomed up at 300m but no dash thereafter and stayed on before dropping off late. |
6 | 12 | SAME WORLD (N098) | D Beadman | H1 | No speed, raced 3 and 4 wide at rear, nearly 9Ls away in run, got on eventual winner's back rounding bend, peaked on run but kept on ok for first up effort. |
7 | 1 | JUST FANTASTIC (CL291) | K C Ng | H | Pressed forward to eventually take up running, set decent tempo in front, 1L clear turning, there to 200m before fading out. |
8 | 13 | RICH TAPESTRY (N011) | J Lloyd | B-/SR | No early speed, settled at rear 8-9Ls back, raced 2 and 3 wide on bend, had job to do but just passed the weakening brigade late. |
9 | 3 | HOT SHOT (CL289) | C Y Ho | TT | Went forward to take a spot first outside leader, did some work with decent speed on, 1L down turning, didn't have much left at 300m and weakened out. |
10 | 8 | KING OF REASON (M154) | N Callan | H | Planted 3 wide without cover in midfield, did some work with speed on, 5Ls back to bend, kept coming to his credit but emptied at 200m. |
11 | 9 | KING AL AKBAR (CK381) | O Doleuze | H | Standard break, raced 7Ls away behind midfield in mid section, difficult to settle despite even trip to bend, ordinary closing effort in stretch. |
12 | 14 | REAL SUPREME (CL247) | T H So | B/TT | Pressed forward and retained early lead, took a trail heading down back, did a bit on decent speed, in traffic turning but was disapointing when clear and dropped out tamely. |
13 | 10 | HELENE WITTY (CL228) | M Chadwick | TT | Slow into stride from wide gate, settled with last few on rails, best part of 10Ls back to bend, made no serious progress. |
14 | 11 | NEW GREENFIELD (M282) | M Barzalona | XB-/B1/TT1 | Settled in midfield 4-5Ls back in run, no excuses to bend, dropped out easily to beaten a fair way. |
