Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | ROYALE ELEGANCE (S098) | T Berry | H/XB | Ridden patiently in second last position, 1 off the rail. Peeled out after the 700m, came widest in the straight and let down well to take control near the 50m. |
2 | 11 | ZACHARY (N146) | A Suborics | B/TT | Had every chance after box seating. Held up slightly early in the straight and looked the likely winner at the 100m, but ended its run approaching the 50m. |
3 | 6 | DEMOKLES (P116) | G Mosse | B- | Travelled 4th from the rear, 1 off with cover. Held up until near the 200m, motored home once in the clear. |
4 | 4 | KISSMET (P217) | Z Purton | B | Raced behind midfield, 3 wide with cover. Stayed on evenly. |
5 | 7 | SPIRIT SOARING (N099) | N Callan | CP-/H/P1/TT | Parked midfield, 1 off with cover. Maintained and even gallop down the running. |
6 | 3 | LUCKY DAN (P275) | B Prebble | H | Settled midfield, 3 deep with cover. Was dour in the home stretch. |
7 | 9 | DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) | C Y Lui | B | Camped in second position outside the leader. Was overhauled at the 200m and weakened thereafter. |
8 | 12 | CRIMSON HEART (P237) | K Teetan | XB | Effectively settled in the box seat. Shifted out into clear running turning for home only plodded to the line. |
9 | 10 | LITTLE RAINFOREST (N101) | H W Lai | CP/TT | Went forward and led on the rails. Faded over the final 200m. |
10 | 1 | HELENE FUN STAR (N105) | M Chadwick | CP/TT | Punched the breeze, three deep without cover, whilst travelling prominently. Never likely. |
11 | 2 | DRAGON (S018) | O Doleuze | E | Wasn't the best away, travelling midfield the paint, had cover. Gave in quickly near the furlong. |
12 | 8 | FLORAL MAN (N092) | D Whyte | CP-/B2/TT | Was never in the hunt after becoming detached in last position. Was ridden along from the 700m, didn't respond and finished well back. (To trial) |
13 | 14 | RISING POWER (N294) | T H So | P | Settled towards the rear 3 deep with cover. Failed to close off. |
14 | 13 | FIERY FOUR BY FOUR (S067) | J Moreira | H/XB | Went back from a wide gate, settled behind midfield, the fence with cover. Struggled in the home straight. (Collapsed after race, see incident report) |
