Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | FELLOWSHIP (CG292) | Z Purton | TT | Settled well behind midfield and came with a well-timed challenge inside 400M, kept on resolutely after hitting the front 200M out and fended off challenges on the outside in late stages. |
2 | 7 | THUMBS UP (CK005) | B Doyle | B | Towards the rear and was way off the pace in early stages, moved closer on final turn, held up briefly early in straight but picked up strongly when clear and made significant headway inside 150m. Just held. |
3 | 2 | GOOD BA BA (CE201) | O Doleuze | TT | Dropped to last and trailed over 10Ls from leader in middle stages, taken out to challenge 500M, took time to muster in straight but ran on strongly final 200M to get within half length of the winner. |
4 | 11 | SPECIAL DAYS (CH236) | D Whyte | -- | Along the fence in midfield, 4Ls down coming off the bend, picked up really well once switched and ran a respectable race against higher rated opponents under equal weight. |
5 | 10 | ARMADA (CE246) | W Pike | -- | Travelled 2-wide in mid-division, way off the pace in early stages but moved closer on the turn, produced with every chance final 400M, stayed on well enough for a close 5th. |
6 | 8 | ABLE ONE (CG108) | G Mosse | -- | Tracked leaders in 3rd and well positioned to strike coming off the bend, came with a promising looking run inside 350M, briefly led near 200M but was swamped close home. |
7 | 9 | JACKPOT DELIGHT (CJ101) | J Lloyd | TT | Fractious in stalls and began awkwardly, held inside running behind midfield, made a mild bid after turning in, stayed on but not reached leaders. |
8 | 1 | EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) | C Soumillon | TT | Began awkwardly and couldn't cross to the lead until passing 850M, not able to shake off his pursuers turning into straight, headed near 200M and weakened gradually towards the line. |
9 | 6 | SIGHT WINNER (CJ049) | B Prebble | TT1 | Quickly crossed to the rail from draw 11, cut out the early running to 800M then sat behind leader, briefly threatened early in straight but run ended passing 200M. |
10 | 3 | COLLECTION (CK217) | D Beadman | TT | Towards the rear, patiently ridden and over 10Ls off the pace in middle stages, switched out to make his challenge but found disappointingly little in the drive home, eased final 150M. (Unacceptable performance.) |
11 | 4 | PACKING WINNER (CE334) | A Gryder | -- | Settled in 4th 4Ls behind leader but failed to pick up under pressure in straight and was readily left behind entering 200 M. |
12 | 12 | EYSHAL (CJ099) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Restrained to a 2-wide position in midfield, driven but no progress inside 400M, weakened over final 200M. |
