Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | SAPELLI (CK191) | C Y Ho | B2 | Eased back from a wide alley to race 3ide with cover 6-7Ls back, improved with trail on bend, let down strongly final 300m and went away late for a tidy win. |
2 | 13 | HEAR THE ROAR (M152) | T Clark | -- | Began in line, took up a midfield position 7-8Ls back, had nice trip in middle stages, switched out and kept chasing in straight but found winner a bit too strong. |
3 | 2 | HELENE SPIRIT (M310) | B Prebble | TT | Caught 3 wide without cover from a tricky alley, gradually crept closer on circle to be 1l down turning, kept on bravely in straight but lacked extra fight to go with first two. |
4 | 8 | SAME WORLD (N098) | D Beadman | H/SR1 | Went forward to take ideal spot 1 out 1 back, went to rails soon after, all favours in run, produced even effort to keep coming along inside in straight to make frame. |
5 | 12 | STRAIGHT FORWARD (CL100) | O Doleuze | SR | Slow into stride, shared rear nearly 10ls back in running line, set plenty to do turning, closed best of rest making some good ground to be nearest on line. |
6 | 14 | RICH TAPESTRY (N011) | Y T Cheng | SR | Positive from outset, first outside leader, took 1 out 1 back trail on circle, came wide turning but lacked dash and just kept on same pace. |
7 | 11 | SOVIET PEARL (CK187) | M Du Plessis | TT | Fair to begin, positioned in midfield 5Ls back on rails, easy time to bend, didn't find much when clear and plodded late. (Jockey reported didn't stretch out.) |
8 | 6 | CARTHAGE (CL256) | T Angland | SR/TT | No early pace, raced 7-8Ls away on rails, not made use of in middle stages, plenty to do turning, battled away at same pace in straight. |
9 | 3 | KING OF SCOTS (CK084) | D Whyte | -- | Caught 3 wide without cover from wide alley and forced to press on early, did work to be outside leader on bend, ridden along turning and dropped off after a hard run. |
10 | 4 | HAPPY TUMBLER (CL048) | G Cheyne | XB | Drifted back from an awkward alley, raced 3 wide behind midfield, best part of 8-9Ls off top end, still plenty to do turning, no real finish and only beat tired ones. |
11 | 7 | OLE OLE (CK301) | M L Yeung | TT | Slotted into a rearward trailing position, ended up 10Ls off leaders on rails, always well back, never likely. |
12 | 10 | LIBERATOR (CL240) | J Lloyd | B/H/TT | Went forward as usual and took up 1 out 1 back slot once they settled down, all favours in run, found little at business end and was disappointing weakening out. |
13 | 5 | BEAUTY TOUCH (N001) | M Guyon | TT | Settled behind pace 3 wide with cover, 3-4Ls back in run, ridden along turning in, didn't go on with it final 300m and dropped out. |
14 | 9 | CARTOON FAY FAY (N014) | B Doyle | B | Showed early speed and held lead, set average speed in front, worried by outside horse on bend, gave in without much fight. |
