Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | TOP TOP LIGHT (CG182) | G Mosse | B1/TT | Slowest away, 3-back on fence about 3Ls off pace in mid-division until home turn, briefly pocketed 200 M out when 2Ls down, quickened once clear to lead 50 M out, value for a greater margin. |
2 | 10 | FLAG FINDER (CE224) | Z Purton | -- | Best away and led by 2Ls on fence 900 M out, 1L clear taking home turn, headed by winner at the 50 M, stayed on well for 2nd. |
3 | 5 | AMO (CB125) | A Delpech | -- | Slow to start, felt for when 5Ls back in 10th on fence at 700 M, checked soon afterwards, 4Ls down in 8th off final turn, ran on well along the inside for a place. |
4 | 9 | MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) | G Boss | XB | Taken back to lie 7Ls off pace in 11th at halfway, made eyecatching late ground to be nearest at the finish. |
5 | 4 | SUPER HONEY (CE187) | D Whyte | -- | Crowded at start, enjoyed the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th through to final turn, every chance when 1L back in 2nd at 200 M, one-paced late, tight for room final strides and lost 4th. |
6 | 2 | ENCORE WIN (CH251) | F Coetzee | B/TT | 2-wide with cover about 1L off pace until home turn, had every hope but wavered 200 M out and weakened close home. |
7 | 12 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | H W Lai | -- | Crossed from wide gate to be 6Ls or 7Ls last until home turn, ran on fairly late through beaten rivals. |
8 | 8 | GENERAL DANSKE (CG296) | S K Sit | TT | 4-wide without cover when 3Ls back in 6th at the 800 M, 4-wide (widest of all) turning for home, entitled to cede more ground than he did in the finish after the tough trip. |
9 | 6 | THE WORLD OF LOVE (CC066) | O Doleuze | CP | Worse than midfield with cover about 5Ls behind leader until home turn, slightly inconvenienced 100 M out but never dangerous in any case. |
10 | 1 | BEAUTIFUL DREAMER (CH108) | B Prebble | -- | Towards rear about 5Ls or 6Ls back until straightening when ridden along, always outpaced. |
11 | 11 | OWNERS LAD (CG273) | C K Tong | B/TT- | 3-wide without cover about half a length off the early pace, still 3-wide no cover and 1L down in 3rd making home turn, beaten 200 M out. |
12 | 3 | INDUSTRIAL MARVEL (CG188) | C W Wong | -- | Midfield about 3Ls off pace early on and similar turning for home, disappointing under pressure and soon beaten. |
