Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | SPEED FIGHTER (CD355) | C Brown | SR | Jumped best and showed good early speed. Stayed a length within leader on the rail. 3rd to turn in. Finished strongly over concluding stages to clinch a close win. |
2 | 5 | DR POSSI (CE288) | D Whyte | -- | 3 wide without cover throughout the race. 1L behind leader entering the Straight. Fought on to hold some chance final 200 M and was outpaced by the winner close home. |
3 | 2 | MANIFEST (CC048) | C K Tong | B/TT | Attempted to make all. Took the rail being out-paced by first pair at 250 M. Tried hard but weakened inside 150 M. |
4 | 12 | SURE FORTUNE (CC033) | H W Lai | B/TT | Fair jump then shifted inside to the rail to stay 3 back. Midfield entering the Straight. Ran well when clear inside 150 M and ran on to just miss a place. |
5 | 9 | GOOD TO GREAT (CD278) | C Soumillon | -- | Never far off. 3wide with cover 3Ls from leader entering the straight. Ran on well final 250 M to produce some late impression near finish. |
6 | 11 | FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) | A Delpech | SR/H | Kept rearward. Behind midfield entering home turn. Shifted out for running final 300 M. Kept on but found no extra to stay in contention final stages. |
7 | 8 | LORD CAIRNS (CE127) | B Prebble | B2 | Checked on jump. Tailed throughout. Responded strongly on the rail inside 300 M. Made up good ground final 200 M without clear running. Wasn't fully tested. |
8 | 4 | JADE DANCER (CE170) | R Fradd | B- | 3 deep 2 wide with cover on back straight. Around midfield and never looked like a threat. Kept on steadily in straight without improving its position. |
9 | 7 | TROPHY (CD027) | S Sanders | -- | Midfield or better. Hard ridden before straightening to maintain position. Found no extra and gave ground final 200 M. |
10 | 1 | HIGHLAND DAWN (CC138) | E Saint-Martin | B | Trailed the field most of way. Shifted wide on home straight. Made no impression in straight. |
11 | 10 | UNIVERSAL KOMISSAR (CE096) | S Dye | -- | Towards rear. Last few to enter home straight. One-paced to finish. Never a factor. |
12 | 3 | CHAMP DE UNION (CB001) | G Schofield | B/TT | Began very awkwardly and rider lost left stirrup momentarily. Ridden early. Settled 2 wide just off pace. Weakened quickly into straight. Very weak in stretch. (see Racing Incident.) |
