Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | WINDICATOR STAR (N233) | Z Purton | P/TT | Raced 3ls or so back in midfield, switched 2 and 3 wide on circle, made ground from 400m and let down too well final furlong to hold rivals with some extra in hand. |
2 | 4 | COSMIC BOOM (N019) | B Prebble | H/XB/TT | Rolled to front with ease, set speed to suit to 400m, kicked strongly and defied rivals for a long way but no match for winner inside final furlong. |
3 | 5 | STERLING CITY (N152) | W C Marwing | -- | Taken back from a wide gate, raced 6-7ls back racing 2 wide, gave a big start and gained clear running final 300m, reeled off strong sectionals to take placing. |
4 | 11 | PRETTY ONE (CL418) | N Callan | TT | Took ideal trail behind the leader, nice trip to turn, produced and was second and a place chance at 200m, kept going with usual honesty and lost 3rd spot late. |
5 | 7 | MASQUERADER (N234) | U Rispoli | B | Settled in back half of field when restrained from a wide gate, 6ls or so away in running line, made solid progress in straight to just miss frame. |
6 | 10 | CAPE CANAVERAL (N393) | M Chadwick | TT | Slotted into nice position 1 out 1 back, all favours to bend, kept on soundly in straight but lacked extra gear final 200m to get amongst place getters. |
7 | 2 | VOILE ROUGE (M343) | C Y Lui | B/TT | Held up behind midfield. Saved ground along the fence, kept on same pace final 400M, never threatened. |
8 | 13 | LORD SINCLAIR (N447) | R Fourie | H | Went on in search of spot but caught 3 wide without cover, did share of work and was 2ls back to bend, workload took toll and couldn't lift, tired inside 200m. |
9 | 9 | BOULD MOVER (M120) | G Mosse | TT | Showed customary speed to race outside leader, enjoyed even run on speed, still 2nd turning and there to 200m but dropped off thereafter. |
10 | 6 | ROMAN SOLDIER (N372) | D Whyte | B/H | Ended up 3 wide around midfield, had cover 5ls back, switched out turning but didn't close as had done previously and made no extra ground inside 200m. |
11 | 12 | KING OF PATCH (N421) | K C Ng | B | Taken to rails at rear, 6-7ls back, quiet time to turn, never threatened in straight passing only tired ones. |
12 | 14 | TOUCH GO (CL254) | C K Tong | -- | Unable to slot in and forced to race 4 wide without cover in midfield, improved from 3-4ls back on bend, spent force at 300m. |
13 | 1 | RICH UNICORN (CL410) | A Suborics | -- | Positioned in midfield 4-5ls back, very difficult to settle and ran out drift ing3 and 4 wide on bend, found nothing when asked in straight. |
14 | 3 | PIZZAZZ (CL145) | K C Leung | H-/B1/TT | Ended up racing 3 wide at rear from a tricky draw, 6-7ls back, srill last turning and came widest, no response in stretch. (Blood in trachea) |
