Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | BULLISH FRIEND (N333) | M Chadwick | TT | Began awkwardly, set steady pace, strongly challenged by rival passing 300M, headed near 100M but rallied back and prevailed in a head-to-head sprint to the line. |
2 | 2 | FLAGSHIP SHINE (P104) | N Callan | CP | Chased leaders, challenged down the inside passing 300M, slightly unbalanced when brushed 200M, came through to lead 100M out but winner fought back and prevailed in a photo finish. (Objection overruled.) |
3 | 4 | BEAUTY SPARKLE (N310) | T Angland | H/TT | Went forward to press leader, chased first 2 for much of the way in straight before fading away final 50M. |
4 | 13 | LUCKY WARRIOR (M292) | T H So | XB/TT | Poised in a 3-wide position not far off leaders, kept on steadily final 400M under pressure but not a serious threat to first two. |
5 | 9 | FINN MACCOOL (CK072) | G Mosse | SR/TT | Held up midfield along the fence, kept on final 400M but making no headway on first two. |
6 | 1 | MENTOR (N017) | D Whyte | B | Up with early pace, tracked leaders 2-wide entering home turn, had every hope passing 400M but not going the pace to seriously challenge. |
7 | 7 | PSYCHOLOGIST (N390) | T Queally | -- | Dropped back to the rear, 6Ls back in a difficult position turning in, badly held up early straight and again near 150M, ran on well when shifted out to clear final stages. |
8 | 12 | GOOD LUCK WIN (CK004) | K C Leung | B/XB | Shaken up early, over-raced rounding the bend, held up to 300M but kept on at same pace when clear. |
9 | 11 | BRIGHT STAR (N387) | C Y Ho | B | Taken back to a 3-wide position near the rear, shifted wide to challenge 350M, stayed on fairly. |
10 | 5 | CROATIA (P132) | O Doleuze | H-/B1 | Taken across the fence, 5Ls off the pace in last trio, made brief effort turning in, turned one pace final 200M. |
11 | 3 | SUPER CAGA (CK054) | T Clark | B | Unable to slot in from draw 14, caught 4-wide in midfield and no cover throughout, not quickened passing 400M. |
12 | 8 | DYNAMIC VOYAGE (P066) | Y T Cheng | B/XB | Restrained behind midfield, difficult to settle passing 800M, 4-wide turning for home, found little when pressed on. |
13 | 10 | HOXO (P131) | R Fourie | TT1 | Held up in mid-pack 3-wide, gave limited response passing 400M, never threatened. (Lame next day.) |
14 | 14 | RED ADVENTURE (N158) | M L Yeung | -- | Towards the rear and never really travelled, came under pressure home turn, weakened 300M, eased 100M when no chance. |
