1 | 13 | POT OF GOLD (CJ286) | M Chadwick | TT | Bounced out with first few, drove through to hold lead, pressured by outside horse throughout, shared lead turning, found plenty inside 300 M and drew away from rivals last bit. |
2 | 5 | ISLAND SUPER (CH297) | D Whyte | TT1 | Standard jump, drifted back from an awkward draw, ended up 6Ls back amongst last few, made a wide run leaving bend, closed off best of rest making good late progress for 2nd. |
3 | 6 | IRISH JIG (CJ125) | W C Marwing | TT | Out in line, held a prominent spot behind leader, raced 2Ls away behind speed throughout, kept coming gradually in straight doing best late to snatch 3rd. |
4 | 1 | TCHAIKOVSKY (CE030) | K C Leung | -- | Showed usual speed, pressed on and raced outside leader, worried inside horse throughout, levelled up on turning, kept to task but just peaked on run final 100 M. |
5 | 8 | BEAUTIFUL DREAMER (CH108) | O Doleuze | B | Even getaway, assumed a spot in front of midfield 3Ls away, travelled well to bend, made steady ground between horses to be nearest on line. |
6 | 4 | DIAMOND BRILLIANCE (CH002) | H W Lai | B/TT | First to bend, took hold when unable to cross, ended up in an ideal spot 1 out 1 back, tracked leaders on bend, looked a place hope at 300 M but unable to sustain run and just held ground last 100 M. |
7 | 3 | KING ENCOSTA (CG247) | C Soumillon | TT | Restrained from a wide draw, 7-8Ls back near to last, travelled well at rear, set big task on turning, switched widest and made good progress down outside to be closest at finish. |
8 | 7 | PRIME CHAMPION (CK128) | J Winks | -- | No pace from outset, assumed spot at rear, raced 8Ls away at tail, kept to inside turning, did best work final 200 M to finish on backs of placegetters. (See Racing Incidents.) |
9 | 9 | JIANG JUN (CE281) | C W Wong | XB/TT | Standard jump, settled just behind midfield 5Ls away in running line, used little to bend, continued to close inside 200 M before losing run late and was not ridden out as would normally be. |
10 | 10 | WHITE JADE (CK131) | G Mosse | -- | Reasonable getaway, pressed on but caught 3-wide, had cover 4-5Ls or so away, ridden along approaching bend, kept on reasonably before condition gave out at 200 M, steadied 100 M. |
11 | 2 | ALWAYS GIGGLE (CG086) | Z Purton | B | Began nicely, went forward but posted 3-wide without cover 2Ls back, did too much work to bend, dropped out 200 M when hard run took toll. |
12 | 12 | CHATER POWER (CG312) | J Victoire | B/TT | Standard jump, positioned behind midfield 3-wide 5Ls or so back, covered extra ground to bend, moved wider for run turning but lacked usual finish and just plugged late. (Bled both nostrils.) |
13 | 11 | GRAND STORE (CH087) | M W Leung | -- | Blundered on jumping, ridden up to hold a midfield spot 4-5Ls back on rails, urged along on bend, struggled when placed under pressure, faded out. |
