Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | GOOD BA BA (CE201) | C Soumillon | TT | Settled in midfield. Gradually shifted out for a run over 300 M out. Responded well to take command over 100 M out. Convincingly. |
2 | 8 | ABLE ONE (CG108) | D Beadman | -- | Moderate start. Restrained 2-back with rails run in joint 4th. Soon obtained a clear passage after straightening. Fought on nicely closing stages but found winner too good. |
3 | 7 | EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) | F Coetzee | TT | Began only fairly. Gradually improved to take up running 400 M after start, crossing to rails shortly. Held clear advantage to 200 M and swamped but fought on for a placing. |
4 | 6 | SPIRITO DEL VENTO (CJ607) | O Peslier | XB | Travelled towards rear. Finished off race strongly inside final 250 M. Did best work late. |
5 | 4 | SUPER HORNET (CK602) | Y Fujioka | -- | Settled behind midfield. Only produced moderate headway in the run home without threatening. |
6 | 3 | ARMADA (CE246) | D Whyte | -- | Broke well. Settled in forward of midfield. Fought on steadily until finding no extra closing stages. |
7 | 13 | JOY AND FUN (CH014) | W C Marwing | -- | Raced one-out-one-back in 3rd. Kept on before failing to sustain effort inside final 200 M. |
8 | 11 | MAJOR CADEAUX (CK606) | R Hughes | -- | Fair start. Gradually picked up along rails to race in midfield. Similar turning in. Failed to quicken under pressure in straight. |
9 | 2 | KIP DEVILLE (CK601) | C Velasquez | XB/TT | Broke well and fast into stride. Settled 3-wide without cover in 2-back position sharing 4th. Hung wide making home bend and never recovered. |
10 | 5 | PRESSING (CK603) | N Callan | -- | Not far off in better than midfield position. 2-back in 5th turning for home. Soon faded under pressure. |
11 | 14 | NATAGORA (CK607) | C Lemaire | -- | With leaders early. Settled one-back on rails approaching home bend. Obtained run from box-seat after turning in but soon folded up. |
12 | 9 | AWESOME GEM (CK604) | G Gomez | V/XB/TT | Never seen with a chance always racing well behind. |
13 | 10 | LAA RAYB (CK605) | R Ffrench | E/XB | Slow to muster. Remained in last few most of way. Soon weakened out of contention after straightening. |
14 | 12 | BULLISH CASH (CH049) | M Kinane | TT | Hampered at start and soon dropped to tail-end. Virtually trailed the field throughout. |
