Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | WISE CHOICE (CB297) | R Fradd | -- | Lay 7th on fence 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, niggled slightly at 800 M, 2-wide into straight, picked up well to be 2Ls off pace disputing 4th 200 M out, kept on gamely for hard driving, led on line. |
2 | 14 | DEEP PURPLE (CB251) | A Delpech | B | Broke tardily, in 11th place 2-wide and 7Ls off pace 1000 M out, 3-wide into straight when 5Ls off lead, 2Ls down and disputing 4th at the 200 M, led 50 M out, collared right on the line. |
3 | 6 | TAMAR (CA310) | W Woods | B | In midfield 6Ls off pace and 2-wide at 1000 M, closer in 5th and 3-wide on straightening, half a length down in 2nd with very strong chance at 200 M, headed 50 M out, just hung on for a place. |
4 | 5 | EARL GREY (CA251) | D Whyte | B/SR1 | In 12th spot at 1000 M when 7Ls off speed and 3-wide, had cover when 6Ls down and 4-wide into straight, challenged out wider, 2Ls down at 200 M, narrowly missed a place. |
5 | 7 | GRAND FIGHTER (CA225) | W Smith | B | Narrow lead out 2-wide at 1400 M, got to fence at 800 M to lead by 1L, clear by 2Ls off home turn, headed 50 M out, no extra, solid effort nonetheless. |
6 | 10 | SUCCESSFUL SPIRIT (BV226) | G Mosse | B/TT | On fence 3Ls off pace in 4th or 5th down back straight, lacked gears off home turn, kept on fairly well again close home to be nearest at the finish. |
7 | 2 | DESERT STORM (CA048) | P H Lo | TT | One from rear on fence 9Ls off pace at 1000 M, 2-wide into stretch when 8Ls down, made some moderate late headway. |
8 | 3 | FORTUNE DANCER (BS081) | W M Lai | V- | In rear 2-wide and 9Ls off pace at 1000 M, still rear and 3-wide into straight when 8Ls off pace, never a factor. |
9 | 9 | DANEFACTOR (CA006) | W C Marwing | -- | 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 3rd 1000 M out, 1L down in 2nd at 800 M, 2Ls down in 2nd off home turn, swamped 200 M out, eased close home. |
10 | 11 | TURBOJET (BT277) | G Schofield | TT | 3-wide without cover and 3Ls off speed 1100 M out in 5th place, 2Ls 4th at 800 M, 3Ls 3rd off home turn, beaten over 200 M out. |
11 | 8 | STRATEGIC SELECT (CB133) | A Marcus | B | 2-wide and 5Ls off lead in 6th at 1000 M, closer but under pressure to keep in touch off home turn, dropped out from 250 M out. |
12 | 13 | SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) | S Dye | B-/TT- | Slowly away, on fence 7Ls in 10th position at 1000 M, no better off and struggling into straight, very one-paced. |
13 | 12 | MAIN ATTRACTION (CB218) | Y T Cheng | B | Awkwardly away, 3-wide without cover when 6Ls off pace in 9th at 1000 M, toiling when caught 4-wide without cover into home straight, found nothing under pressure. |
14 | 4 | CHEERS CHINA (CC157) | J Quinn | B | Disputed lead very early on, 2Ls off pace in 3rd when on fence at 800 M, in trouble entering straight, emptied right out and was tailing off at the 200 M pole. |
