Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | GIANT TURTLE (T391) | R Moore | TT | Began well, rolled forward, grabbing box seat and tracking leader. Got clear run on straightening, hit front 200m, finished strongly. |
2 | 9 | CASA MASTER (T160) | D Whyte | B/TT | Broke well but eased out of pace battle, settling along rail 4L from leader. Came off fence 400m to make run but force to switch in 250m, then crowded 200m. Finished off well. |
3 | 1 | GOOD CHOICE (P423) | J Moreira | XB | No early toe, dropping towards rear along rail. Improved position around turn, switched out straight and ran on solidly. |
4 | 12 | IMPERIAL SEAL (T223) | M Barzalona | H | Bumped start, pushed forward but raced keenly, settling one-off 3L from leader. Left wide without cover from 700m but kept on gamely without looking dangerous. |
5 | 10 | WINNINGLI (V377) | K Tosaki | CP/TT | Pressed forward to lead on settling, then set steady sections to straight. Collared passing 200m and swamped final stages. |
6 | 11 | CASH COURIER (S417) | K C Leung | B | Jumped well, steadied and shifted across behind runners from outside draw, settling at rear. Took inside run in straight and ran on steadily. |
7 | 5 | HAPPY AND HEALTHY (T056) | G Lerena | B/TT | Got off OK, no early speed, settling at rear in one-off position. Shifted in early straight to get run and ran on fairly. |
8 | 8 | TRUE COMMENT (S328) | Z Purton | CP/TT | Ridden along to obtain forward position, taking first turn very wide before settling one-off, 4L from leader. Under pressure top of straight and only one-paced. |
9 | 2 | TEAM SWEET (V089) | P Smullen | XB-/H | Hampered start, pressed forward taking first turn wide and losing position, dropping to rear. Took home turn 3-wide and one-paced in straight. |
10 | 4 | SPARKLING SWORD (P256) | F Geroux | H/TT | Pressed forward from an outside draw, taking first turn very wide before settling outside hindquarters of leader back stretch. Under pressure soon after straightening and faded. |
11 | 3 | BEST TANGO (S121) | M Demuro | B/TT | Hampered start, pressed forward but wide, settling in midfield in one-off position. Started to give ground around home turn and plodded home in straight. |
12 | 7 | MONEY MAN (V227) | H Bowman | B/H/TT | Outpaced, dropping to rear along rail. Hard ridden around home turn but spent force passing 200m and faded, finishing tailed out. Unacceptable performance. |
