Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | MAVERICK (CE199) | W M Lai | TT | Niggled along early but settled 3-back on fence about 3Ls off pace in 4th or 5th until home straight, dug in well to lead over 50 M out, kept on. |
2 | 8 | PURPLE GOLD (CD249) | B Prebble | B | Disputed early lead, settled 2Ls back and 2-wide in 3rd at 1100 M, 1L down in 2nd turning for home, briefly led over 200 M out but grabbed winner over final 50 M. |
3 | 7 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | D Whyte | V | Had the run of the race about 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 1200 M to homestretch, tight for running briefly but lacked the decisive kick once clear, did just enough for 3rd. |
4 | 12 | LA MERVEILLE (CC205) | M Nunes | CP-/H-/B2 | 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, similarly placed off final bend, had every hope to place but just battled on. |
5 | 11 | POSA (CE337) | A Delpech | SR/H | Tended to hang in places, worse than midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls behind through to final turn, stayed on only fairly, never really threatened. |
6 | 5 | BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) | R Fradd | B | 2 and 3-wide in rear with cover at least 6Ls or 7Ls off pace until 500 M, pushed out 6-wide (widest of all) off home straight, finished off well late, never nearer. |
7 | 9 | DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) | Y T Cheng | B | Slowly away, 4-back on fence about 5Ls off speed at 1200 M, marginally closer and under pressure on straightening for home, always well held. |
8 | 10 | ONE EYE JACK (CD393) | M Odendaal | B | Sent on to lead by 2Ls on fence at 1100 M, led until being headed at top of home straight, weakened out tamely. |
9 | 1 | SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) | F Coetzee | XB/TT | Always laboured in rear at least 6Ls from the front, never dangerous. |
10 | 6 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | K S Yu | B | Left 3-wide no cover throughout, 4Ls back in 6th at 1100 M, 2Ls down in 4th at 800 M, hard pressed to lie up entering homestretch, fizzled out. |
11 | 4 | PROPELLOR (CE263) | O Doleuze | V | Always in rear, 6Ls back in 10th early on and same through to final turn, very weak. |
12 | 2 | EVER KING (CE147) | N Ryan | V/TT | Worse than midfield 3-wide but with cover early, about 3Ls or 4Ls from pace from 800 M to home turn when hard ridden, found nothing off the bridle. |
