Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | BLAZING SPEED (P192) | M Demuro | TT | Settled well in 5th never far off the pace, loomed behind leading pair mid-straight, responded to determined riding inside 100M, got up just in time. |
2 | 5 | DAN EXCEL (N195) | N Callan | XB-/SR/TT | Tracked leaders in 3rd, raced without cover for most of the trip, quickened well to join leader 150M, held narrow lead inside 100M, fought on, caught last stride. |
3 | 7 | HELENE SPIRIT (M310) | G Mosse | TT | Left with no cover from 1200M, strode forward to the lead passing 1100M, kept on well turning home, headed 150M, rallied towards the finish, narrowly beaten. |
4 | 1 | MILITARY ATTACK (N175) | Z Purton | H/SR | Held up at the rear 7-8Ls off the pace, driven nearing 500M, did best work final 200M, motored home to clinch 4th near line but not quite got to the leaders. |
5 | 8 | REAL SPECIALIST (M143) | T Angland | B | Up with early pace, sat close up in 4th making the turn, kept up the chase in straight, steadied 150M, every chance thereafter but always held by first few. |
6 | 4 | GOLD-FUN (P045) | O Doleuze | SR | Reserved in a 2-wide position behind midfield, travelled well enough early and middle stages, shifted wide 550M, made some progress early straight but not reached leaders, one paced final 150M. |
7 | 2 | GLORIOUS DAYS (M353) | D Whyte | B | Dropped back to race on the outside of rear pair, driven along 500M but found less than expected, stayed on mildly over final 300M, never seriously threatened. |
8 | 3 | DOMINANT (N169) | J Moreira | H | Held up towards the rear, saved ground along the fence, stayed on but never going the pace to challenge over this inadequate trip. |
9 | 10 | PURE CHAMPION (M178) | M Chadwick | TT | Set early pace, relinquished the lead passing 1100M, outdashed inside 350M, weakened gradually. |
10 | 6 | PACKING WHIZ (N120) | B Prebble | H/XB | Settled in midfield, travelled well enough but failed to pick up the pace inside 400M when placed under pressure. (Jockey unable to offer explanation for the horse's below par performance.) |
11 | 11 | SAME WORLD (N098) | T Berry | H/SR | Slotted into a 2-wide position in midfield, kept on same speed passing 400M, weakened out of contention mid-straight. |
