1 | 10 | SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) | D Whyte | -- | Began with line, allowed to stride on to hold spot behind leader, had run of race in mid-section, camped behind them and took inside runs turning, hit front and fought doggedly to maintain advantage for length of straight. |
2 | 11 | RICE FIELD (CE134) | Y T Cheng | TT | Moderate jump, made some progress to hold a midfield role 3 to 4Ls back on fence, had a quiet time in mid-section, trailed eventual winner on turning, cut to inside and steadily pegged back margin to be right in finish. |
3 | 7 | FULL OF JOY (CG293) | G Mosse | BO | Fair break, couldn't find a slot and posted 3 and 4 wide without cover 4Ls off pace, did plenty in mid-section, crept closer to be 2Ls down turning, came to better ground and progressed steadily down outside to take 3rd. |
4 | 6 | ALBERTINELLI (CH111) | M Nunes | -- | First to hit ground, rolled forward to race at leaders girth, had a fair trip with moderate tempo, still right there turning, didn't quicken but stuck on gamely in straight to make frame. |
5 | 2 | LEADING AHEAD (CH249) | B Prebble | TT | Even getaway, slotted in to coveted 1 out 1 back trail, had soft trip throughout with steady tempo, 2Ls down turning, one-paced when run appeared but stuck to task and held ground strongly to finish. |
6 | 13 | CARRIZO CREEK (CE132) | F Coetzee | B | Restrained from outset, posted 4 wide behind midfield 6Ls back with cover, forced to cover plenty of ground to bend, switched 5 wide turning and made good ground down outside to be closest on line. |
7 | 8 | DON FELIPE (CD273) | H W Lai | -- | Average jump, ended up racing behind midfield, 5 to 6Ls back, tracked 3 wide with cover on circle, switched wider on turning, closed off nicely doing best work late to be not far away in finish. |
8 | 3 | GALLANT LION (CG243) | S Dye | -- | Standard break, raced near to rear 2 wide 6Ls from speed, not set a task in middle stages and helped by speed, back in traffic turning, cut to inside and closed evenly under hands and heels riding. |
9 | 9 | SIR GALAHAD (CG272) | O Doleuze | -- | Out well, unable to slot in, proved difficult to settle and ended up 3 wide 2 to 3Ls back with cover, had a fair run thereafter, close enough on bend, couldn't sprint when gap appeared and run ended at 200 M. |
10 | 4 | LOTZATOW (CD397) | D Nikolic | B | Moderate beginning, ended up not too far back 3 to 4Ls off pace in midfield running line, tracked nicely between horses on circle, in traffic turning, into clear at 300 M but lacked usual finish and just plodded to line. |
11 | 5 | SIR LAGO (CH268) | A Delpech | -- | Ordinary jump, settled next to last 6Ls back on rails, not asked in mid-section, still well back to bend, made little progress in straight beating home only tired runners. |
12 | 14 | PRETTY TRIO (CB343) | W M Lai | SR | Away well, couldn't slot in and race 4 wide without cover 2Ls back, improved to challenge 1L back on bend, still there turning but weakened from 300 M when hard run took toll. |
13 | 12 | SING FAY FAY (CE074) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Amongst first few out, rolled on to take up running, dictated terms at a moderate tempo, held a narrow lead on bend, tackled turning and found little dropping out tamely thereafter. |
14 | 1 | GOLDEN SUN (CD386) | C W Wong | V-/SR | No speed from outset, raced 2 wide 6 to 7Ls back at tail, had a quiet run but not helped by average speed, came 3 wide on bend, showed nothing in straight and was well beaten. |
