1 | 4 | POCKET MONEY (CE253) | O Doleuze | B | Slow to begin. Pushed along to keep pace. Kept 3 wide behind midfield. Improved on bridle rounding home. Shifted out for strong finish after 400 M. Led 200 M out. Won going away. |
2 | 14 | LIFELINE RAPIDE (CD204) | C Munce | TT | Average start. Travelled comfortably behind midfield on back stretch. Niggled to improve wide on bend. 4Ls behind lead in 9th after straightening. Chased gamely final 300 M but found winner too good. Strong effort. |
3 | 6 | DR MORE (BV164) | F Coetzee | B2 | Jumped fairly, settled near rear as usual. Raced 1 off over 7Ls from frontrunners, travelled kindly on the bend. Behind field entering straight. Switched wide and made good ground from middle of track. Nearest at line. |
4 | 13 | PROGRESSING TIMES (CC231) | Y T Cheng | TT2 | Began well. Kept around midfield on fence. About 4Ls back approaching the turn. Similar order but without clear passage. Clear 200 M out but never threatened top pair. Lost out on a place final stride. Good effort. |
5 | 7 | LE ROSSIGNOL (CG196) | W C Marwing | -- | Jumped fairly from awkward alley. Pushed to go forward. Crossed to lead on rail at 900 M. Held half length edge on the circle. Fought hard to make all but gradually weakened and did not have enough to make frame. |
6 | 11 | KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) | D Whyte | B | Began well and driven to be forward. Crossed to rail 1100 M out, then kept handy within 2Ls behind lead. Attempted to make run on inside. Held some chance early straight but tired final 150 M out. |
7 | 1 | GUNG HO (CE020) | D Dunn | BO2 | Away with field. Midfield, 2 wide 3 to 4Ls back with cover. Enjoyed easy trip on bend. Followed leader in straight. Reluctant to shift out into clear final 200 M and was one-paced to line. |
8 | 8 | ELEGANT KING PRAWN (CE265) | S Dye | -- | Jumped best. Remained 3Ls off lead on fence in 5th. Saved ground along rail rounding home. Elected to hug rail and did not have free striding space final 200 M whilst hanging in. No chance to kick. |
9 | 3 | WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (CG033) | G Schofield | -- | Away well. Raced prominently, 2 wide with cover 2Ls off in 4th. Same margin taking final corner. Eased out into clear at 400 M but unable to offer much when asked. Kept on only one-paced. |
10 | 12 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | K S Yu | B | Broke well from outside barrier. Showed good speed to hold position outside leader's girth. Briefly headed after straightening. Kept to task well but just lacking extra final 200 M. |
11 | 10 | MILITARY OPTION (CD237) | B Prebble | CP | Slow to begin. Tailed until rounding the turn. Switched very wide on straightening, 2nd last 6Ls back, responded only fairly in straight. Did not get any closer. |
12 | 2 | CIRCUIT KINGDOM (CB046) | G Mosse | -- | Jumped well. Soon midfield with no cover. Niggled along to take closer order on the circle in a 3 wide spot without cover. Within 2Ls from leader after straightening in 5th. Dropped out quickly after 300 M. |
13 | 9 | GLOBAL WAY (CG158) | W M Lai | B1 | Began only fairly from inside alley. Kept behind midfield on fence. Hard to settle early stages and clipped heels at 1000 M. Turned into straight 4 wide in 3rd last 6Ls behind lead. Weakened soon after straightening. |
14 | 5 | CLASSABOVE (CG211) | H W Lai | -- | Slow to begin. Outpaced and settled rear on rail. About 8Ls off speed at 800 M. Last to enter straight. Couldn't keep up and was beaten a long way. |
