Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 12 | OLYMPIC EXPRESS (CB094) | W C Marwing | -- | Always 2 or 3-wide in midfield between 3 and 5Ls off speed until 600 M out, 2.5Ls off leader turning in, quickened up to go 2Ls clear 200 M out, ran on strongly, impressive. |
2 | 13 | PRECISION (CA209) | M Kinane | SR | Raced on inside about 4 to 5Ls off pace until final bend when travelling well, switched off fence to challenge at top of straight, kept on well but no chance with winner. |
3 | 5 | DASHING WINNER (CA018) | W Woods | SR | Keen through early stages 6 to 7Ls off pace, turned for home in 3rd last place 2-wide and 5Ls off pace, kept finding all the way to line. |
4 | 10 | LUCKSWELL (CA171) | M Cahill | -- | On fence about 3Ls off speed through to home straight, came off rails to find running home at top of straight and only clear 200 M out, ran on well. |
5 | 7 | GOGGLES (CB140) | F Coetzee | H | Dropped out in rear about 8Ls off pace early on, 3-wide and 6Ls off pace rounding final bend, stayed on well in straight but never looked like grabbing front two. |
6 | 1 | AUCASH (BV269) | O Doleuze | -- | Took good pull and 4-wide round 1st bend, 3-wide and 6Ls off pace 1400 M out tracking the winner, 4Ls behind leader 400 M out, all out at 200 M marker when 3Ls down and no extra final stages. |
7 | 14 | SUPER MOLLY (CA043) | B Marcus | -- | Never far away early on though took keen hold about 2Ls off pace out 2-wide until home straight when not really quicken up, struggling 200 M out before weakening further. |
8 | 3 | DANAMITE (CB003) | S Dye | -- | Soon in 2nd at pacesetting GOLCONDA's quarters though always over-racing a bit, still favourably placed turning in and definite place prospects 200 M out, weakened. |
9 | 8 | GOLCONDA (CA111) | L Dettori | -- | Quickly to front though never led by more than 1L, passed by winner 250 M out and just about clinging on to a place chance 200 M out before weakening away quickly. |
10 | 4 | DANEFACTOR (CA006) | G Mosse | -- | Had the run of the race until straight on the fence in 3rd place 1 to 2Ls off pace, under pressure turning for home and soon dropped out of contention. |
11 | 11 | MAGICAL WARRIOR (CB109) | E Legrix | -- | Bounded in air on exiting, raced 3-wide without cover 3Ls off pace down back straight, still 3-wide but 1.5Ls off pace and every chance turning in, quickly swamped and no chance. |
12 | 6 | DIAMOND MOON (CB019) | Hammer-Hansen | V1/TT | Always in or near rear, never closer than 5 or 6Ls off pace and beaten a long way out. |
13 | 9 | JEUNE KING PRAWN (BV270) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Raced too freely early on out wide and at least 5Ls off pace through to home straight when settled and travelling well though 4-wide, asked to pick up 350 M out, found nothing. |
14 | 2 | CAPE OF GOOD HOPE (CB243) | D Whyte | SR | Raced 2 and 3-wide 3Ls off pace until home straight, soon under pressure and dropped right away rapidly. |
