Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | NATURAL NINE (CG087) | G Mosse | XB | Well placed 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in 4th or 5th down the back, 1L down in 3rd at top of home stretch, shifted out over 200 M out, bumped runner-up at over 50 M but always on top. |
2 | 7 | SOHNA (CG183) | D Whyte | -- | Nice position 3Ls off speed and 2-wide in 6th or so until halfway, loomed closer at home turn, had every chance to go past winner before being knocked unbalanced over 50 M out. |
3 | 8 | BIG KAHUNA (CG177) | O Doleuze | B1 | Fractious in gates, keen early on, 5Ls back in midfield at 800 M, travelled well entering stretch, finished fairly for a place without threatening quinella pair. |
4 | 1 | CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) | A Delpech | B | Without cover worse than midfield early, 3-wide with cover from 900 M about 6Ls off pace, kept on at the same tempo in the straight. |
5 | 10 | MULTIMIGHTY (CG175) | B Prebble | B1/TT | Awkward break, carried head awkwardly while disputing lead out 2-wide, a neck to the good on straightening, headed over 200 M out and weakened late. (Blood in trachea.) |
6 | 13 | BIG WINNER (CD229) | F Coetzee | B/TT | 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off speed until home straight, failed to quicken up. |
7 | 3 | SUPER DANA (CC293) | H W Lai | B | Enjoyed box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th or so until home turn, soon outpaced. |
8 | 6 | ZONUS (CE149) | D Nikolic | TT | Sent on to lead on fence at 1200 M, disputing pace from 1000 M to home turn, soon faded out. |
9 | 14 | DANRIVA (CA040) | S K Sit | -- | Never better than midfield nor closer than 6Ls to the pace. |
10 | 4 | MYTHIC STEED (CD208) | M W Leung | PC-/B2/H | Always in rear bunch, shoved out wider at 1100 M, 8Ls last turning for home, never a factor. |
11 | 9 | NAMJONG MONEY (CG176) | K S Yu | B | Slow to begin, always in rear at least 6Ls behind leaders, very weak in homestretch. |
12 | 12 | TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) | C K Tong | B/TT | 4-back on fence down backstretch about 4Ls off pace in 9th or so until home turn, found nothing off the bit. |
13 | 11 | A PLUS FIT (CD013) | M Nunes | B | Switched from wide gate for cover, soon very unruly and shifted out 1100 M out to press on 3-wide no cover, 4Ls back in midfield struggling turning for home, dropped out. |
