Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | EXPECTATOR (N284) | J McDonald | B/TT | Jumped well. Sat 3 back off the leader after a check, always travelled, lengthened nicely to win. |
2 | 9 | GOLDEN SCALPEL (N224) | J Moreira | B | Four back the fence, ridden out before the turn, kept up a good gallop out wide. |
3 | 6 | WIN IT (P032) | Z Purton | CP | Jumped and wide early on. Stalked the leader on the fence, challenged the front runner just after the turn. Kept on well. |
4 | 5 | ONE OF A KIND (M391) | R Hughes | B1/TT | Erratic start, improved to settle 6 off the leader on fence at 1,000m, and closed off under riding. |
5 | 12 | VERY WELL (M161) | K McEvoy | B/XB | Slow and third last on the fence, ridden out at 650m, and closed off along the fence. |
6 | 7 | MEDIC SWORDSMAN (P168) | Y Fukunaga | B | Held his position 4 off the leader on the fence after a clean jump, shifted one off fence at 1000m. Ran on in a much-improved effort. |
7 | 10 | JADE PIPPO (P052) | S Khumalo | H/P | Went straight to the front after the jump. Challenged by the 3rd place getter at 320m. Beaten at 220m. |
8 | 11 | SOUTHCHINA COMMAND (S290) | C Y Ho | B1/TT | 7 off the leader, one off the fence, turn the widest out. Closed off OK. |
9 | 2 | OCEAN POWER (P240) | R Moore | B/XB | Jumped well. Sat midpack, one off the fence, bumped at 950m and drifted further back. Never a factor. Blood in the trachea and lost his left front plate. |
10 | 1 | ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) | P Smullen | B | Well back early after a poor jump, tight at 1,100m, improved to sit 4 wide at 850m, under ridden and never a factor. |
11 | 3 | CANNY FRANCO (P426) | C Soumillon | B | Jumped well to go forward, then restrained to sit 4 off, 3 wide at 850m, had cover at 600m. No finish. |
12 | 8 | GLORY BOY (S273) | I Ortiz Jr | TT | Always at the rear. Never a factor. |
