1 | 5 | RIGHT AS RAIN (G037) | K Teetan | B | Raced in midfield along the rail. Stayed along the rail in straight, had clear running along the inside & closed well to steal the lead in the final stages, going on to win by a neck. |
2 | 10 | HAPPY ANGEL (G133) | A Badel | V-/B2/TT- | Pushed forward to lead. Held lead all the way until passed by winner along the inside in final stages. Beaten only a neck. |
3 | 8 | PERFECT TO GREAT (D327) | M Chadwick | SR/TT | Raced in midfield along the rail. Shifted off the rail near the 400m & raced tight for a short distance before straightening, closed well all the way & was only narrowly beaten into third. |
4 | 9 | REACH GOAL (G067) | S De Sousa | TT | Taken back after the start & raced third last away from the rail. Swung to be the widest runner on cornering when continuing rearward before making significant late ground down the outside to only be beaten 0.75L into fourth. |
5 | 1 | FLYING SILVER (E478) | H Bowman | CP/TT | Raced just worse than midfield away from the rail. Entered last section 4L from lead, held up fleetingly on straightening, got clear passing 300m before finishing off steadily to be beaten 3L, rider questioned (see report). |
6 | 3 | BLASTOISE (C450) | L Hewitson | -- | Pushed forward & raced second away from the rail. Continued second & 1L from the lead on straightening before emptying mid-straight & giving a few lengths to midfield late, beaten 4L on line. |
7 | 2 | LUCKY DIAMOND (D446) | L Currie | B/TT | Had a nice run 1,1 for the majority. Peaked on effort soon after straightening & weakened in last furlong to be beaten 4.5L into midfield. |
8 | 7 | COPARTNER FIONN (G256) | A Hamelin | H-/V-/SR1/TT | Veered outwards & bumped on jumping before being steadied & taken back to second last along the rail. Had clear running on cornering when just under 7L behind before passing only one or two tiring rivals late. Never likely. |
