Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) | M Chadwick | -- | Soon led by 1L on fence. Same margin clear through to last turn. Never seriously challenged and won with some comfort. |
2 | 2 | ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) | T H So | B/TT | Quickly into stride but was caught 3-wide. Parked one-out- one-back from 900 M. Dashed strongly in the straight but the winner had enough to hold on. |
3 | 6 | HIGH RETURN (CK164) | O Doleuze | B | Dropped back from high draw. Stayed 3-wide towards rear middle stages. Swung widest and was 6Ls down on straightening. Made substantial headway and was nearest at finish. |
4 | 4 | FLYING CHINA (CK266) | W C Marwing | B | Hard ridden after start. Settled 3-wide behind midfield from 800 M. Forced wider and was 4Ls away turning in. Covered good ground to make frame. |
5 | 10 | RUGBY HEAVEN (CL086) | J Lloyd | B | Raced within 3Ls of the pace on fence through to the home straight. Ideal spot to attack but kept one-paced. |
6 | 3 | NATURAL FLAME (CK016) | D Beadman | B/TT | Away in line from high draw. Taken to race 4-wide at rear first turn. Found the fence approaching the Rock. Took inside run and was 6Ls off into final stretch. Progressed moderately. |
7 | 8 | MEGABUCKS (CJ301) | B Doyle | -- | Began awkwardly. Driven to take prominent spot before first turn. Well positioned to strike in the home straight but couldn't turn up a notch. |
8 | 11 | FAST GO (CJ181) | D Whyte | B/TT | Slow to begin. Pressured along the fence and took a spot behind midfield from 900 M. 4Ls adrift rounding the turn but never improved from there. (Lame right fore.) |
9 | 5 | VALUE CHOICE (CG213) | Z Purton | B | Moderate jump and was caught wide. Shaken up and slotted into a 2-wide position at midfield passing 900 M. 3Ls behind the leader leaving the bend. Found little when asked. |
10 | 12 | WOODSTOCK (CL105) | S K Sit | B | 2-wide on leader's back through to home turn. Urged from 450 M but got no extra. |
11 | 7 | LUCKY AMICI (CK177) | J Victoire | XB/TT | 3-wide ahead of midfield early and was gradually eased to 2-wide behind midfield. Failed to make any impact thereafter. |
12 | 9 | EXPLODING (CH046) | G Cheyne | XB/H | Well enough away but was caught wide. Taken towards rear from 1000 M. Never recovered. |
