1 | 3 | COLOURFUL KING (K227) | A Atzeni | TT | Began awkwardly from draw 1, tracked the pace in 3rd , chased leader throughout the home straight and just got up in a desperately close finish. |
2 | 2 | YOUTHFUL SPIRITS (J082) | L Ferraris | SR/V/TT | Sped to the lead as expected, held a commanding lead early straight, kept going well under top weight closing stages but was nabbed on the line. |
3 | 1 | CELESTIAL COLOURS (H362) | H Bowman | V/TT | Asked to go forward chasing leader, fought well under 135lb but was held by first two final 150M. |
4 | 6 | WATCH THIS ONE (K268) | M F Poon | TT1 | Bustled along after the start, settled in 4th spot, kept battling in the straight but was held by first three in the run home. |
5 | 7 | HEROIC MASTER (G394) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Settled down behind midfield, had 7Ls to make up on the clear leader 400M, ran home mildly and was never a winning hope. |
6 | 9 | GIDDY UP (J020) | E C W Wong | TT | Settled down midfield 5Ls off leader in a fast run race, ran home same pace over final 300M. Never threatened leaders. |
7 | 5 | SPARKLING FELLOW (K175) | B Avdulla | -- | Held up behind midfield, became unbalanced on its own accord 600M and 350M, failed to run on. (Racing manners unacceptable / Blood in trachea.) |
8 | 4 | CARROLL STREET (D489) | D McDonogh | CP-/SR-/B2/TT- | Jumped only fairly, soon detached from the field, long way back from leader home turn, never in the picture. |
9 | 8 | SAL (K267) | M L Yeung | XB1 | Travelled behind midfield, hampered by rival 600M and got shuffled back to near last, couldn't finish off the race. |
