Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | WATCH BUDDY (H185) | H Bentley | -- | Away well, sat in behind the leaders, 4th at 200M, worked home strongly to get up near line. |
2 | 5 | RAGING BLIZZARD (H368) | K Teetan | -- | Bumped at the start, prominently ridden, moved up to 2nd 600M, responded well on straightening and wrestled the lead nearing 200M, just failed to hold off winner late stages. |
3 | 6 | SUGAR SUGAR (G016) | L Ferraris | B-/TT | From draw 1 well into stride, shared early lead before taking a sit behind leader, fought hard to the line but no match for first two late stages. (inconvenienced near 200M.). |
4 | 2 | ARMOUR EAGLE (G093) | A Atzeni | B/XB/TT | Jumped on terms, raced keenly in the middle stages, close up behind leaders making home turn, kept on steadily over final 300M, couldn't get closer to first few. |
5 | 4 | PRINCE OF PORTY (H009) | B Avdulla | TT | Jumped cleanly and moved up quickly to lead, shifted in under pressure mid-straight and got run down soon after, faded out of the placings. |
6 | 12 | TOGEPI (G458) | L Hewitson | B/TT | Maintained a midfield position 4Ls off the lead on settling, driven wide into straight before keeping on moderately to the line, never a genuine threat. |
7 | 9 | GOLDEN SAMURAI (H024) | C Y Ho | B2/TT | Not hurried after the jump, settled down behind mid-division, brought wide 350M, lacked a strong response and laid in when placed under pressure. Failed to threaten. |
8 | 7 | STREET CONQUEROR (H341) | M L Yeung | TT | Restrained to a rearward position, widest straightening and came home only fairly, never likely to feature. |
9 | 10 | BEAUTY CHAMP (G137) | M Chadwick | H/XB/TT | Jumped awkwardly, recovered to settle in midfield, had 4Ls to make up 400M but didn't finish it off on straightening. |
10 | 3 | LUCKY ARCHANGEL (E385) | M F Poon | B/XB | From wide draw ridden along after the start, caught wide no cover chasing leaders for the majority of the event, only battled in the straight, no extra 200M. |
11 | 1 | BON'S A PEARLA (G449) | Z Purton | B | Given a waiting ride, 6Ls off the pace making home turn, steadied 450M, was making progress when checked near 100M, lost all chance. (Blood in trachea.) |
12 | 11 | ONLY U (J037) | H T Mo | B1/TT | Taken back to last 8-9Ls off the pace, had job ahead on straightening, gave no response and was never in the picture. |
