Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | FLYING GENIUS (D071) | R Moore | TT | Strode forward before getting nice run on leaders back. Assumed lead inside the 150m before dashing away to score impressively. |
2 | 11 | HAPPY GOOD GUYS (B466) | Y Kawada | B | Not fast away but mustered quickly to improve to midfield on rail. Around 3 lengths from lead entering the final section before finishing off strongly in last 300m to snare second placing in final stride. |
3 | 2 | G UNIT (C329) | K Teetan | -- | Improved after the start before getting good position behind leading pair away from the inside. Within two lengths of lead on cornering before maintaining similar margin in run to line. |
4 | 12 | PRAWN YEAH YEAH (B381) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Allowed to shift across behind runners to race worse than midfield away from rail. Made gradual headway in final 300m to be close behind second. |
5 | 4 | VERY SWEET ORANGE (A300) | S De Sousa | V | Showed customary early speed to be prominent & raced outside leader after 300m. Moved up to share lead at the 450m, before assuming lead at the 300m. Joined and headed at the 150m before yielding a length late. |
6 | 10 | OVERSUBSCRIBED (C361) | O Murphy | H/XB1 | Steadied after start & shifted across behind runners to race at the tail. Was a clear last on cornering, before finishing strongly in the straight to finish within a length of second. |
7 | 8 | GOOD VIEW CLARICO (C454) | J McDonald | XB | Strode to midfield, wide on the track before drifting back, just worse than midfield. Hard ridden upon entering the final section before finishing off relatively well considering wide trip. |
8 | 1 | EVERBRAVE (A364) | P-C Boudot | -- | Strode to midfield but raced a little wide in middle stages. Hard ridden passing the 400m before finishing off only fairly to finish in midfield. |
9 | 6 | EPTIWINS (B362) | Z Purton | XB/CP1 | Shifted behind runners after the start and settled third from last away from rail. Continued third from last entering the straight & failed to make any impression in the run to the line. |
10 | 5 | DR PROACTIVE (A345) | C Keane | -- | Held the rail in midfield early before drifting back slightly after first 400m. Steadied and lost some momentum passing the 400m & never made any real headway thereafter. |
11 | 9 | NUNCHUKS (C357) | L Dettori | TT1 | Slow to begin and raced near the tail on the fence. Second from last on cornering & made no real impression after straightening & was well beaten. |
PU | 3 | STRATHALLAN (B178) | J Moreira | -- | Strode to lead after 300m. Went amiss after straightening and failed to finish race. |
