Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | GOLDEN CARE (CD188) | D Whyte | B/TT | Crowded at start, always prominent, 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd from 800 M and led at top of homestretch, always in command. |
2 | 12 | GENKI KING (CD309) | F Coetzee | -- | Best away but settled about 1L off speed in 4th from 1000 M to homestretch, no chance with winner but battled on well late to nick 2nd. |
3 | 4 | GREAT ACHIEVEMENT (CD250) | R Fradd | TT | 3-back on the fence about 3Ls off pace around midfield until 600 M, closer entering straight, always held by winner and lost 2nd close home. |
4 | 11 | SUPER PRINCE (CD126) | M Rodd | B/TT | 3Ls off pace and 2-wide around midfield until 600 M, 3-wide off final bend when 1L down in 3rd, 2Ls down at 200 M when all out, no extra. |
5 | 6 | BYRON (CD275) | G Mosse | SR- | With cover about 4Ls off pace and worse than midfield until home straight when under pressure, one-paced thereafter. |
6 | 5 | SPARKY (BT125) | S Dye | P-/B2 | Didn't break well, one from rear and driven along about 5Ls off pace down backstretch, 4Ls down in 8th on straightening, one-paced. |
7 | 3 | GAUCHO (CE033) | G Schofield | -- | About 3Ls off pace and 3-wide with cover in mid-division until 600 M, 4-wide entering homestretch, lacked any kind of kick. |
8 | 10 | MAJOR BEE (CB374) | K H Chan | B | Pressed on to lead or dispute lead out 2-wide from 1000 M to home straight when headed by winner, faded out tamely. |
9 | 8 | LUCKY GALLOPER (CD030) | O Doleuze | B | Always extremely wide and without cover, never better than 5-wide at any stage and in midfield or worse about 4Ls off pace, forced 7-wide on straightening, no impression. |
10 | 9 | BACCHUS (CB009) | A Delpech | BO/P | Disputed early lead out 3-wide with cover, tended to hang out on the circle, 6-wide entering straight when 3Ls back in midfield, soon well beaten. |
11 | 7 | ABERDEEN (CE182) | B Prebble | -- | Slowest away and switched to fence in rear from widest gate, always in rear and under pressure. |
12 | 2 | REWARDING KING (CC318) | S Sanders | PC1 | Disputed lead out 4-wide without cover early on, lost position on the circle when 5-wide and 5Ls off pace, dropped out further. |
