Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | DIM SUM (CH226) | J Winks | CP-/B1 | First to jump, always prominent behind leader, in a perfect position to strike turning in, produced a late surge inside 200 M to hit front close home and battled on to hold off his much higher rated rivals. |
2 | 2 | ENTHUSED (CH303) | D Whyte | -- | Led early, eased back after crossing to the rail near 800 M, squeezed through a narrow gap to challenge inside 200 M, dug deep over the closing stages but was unable to overhaul the winner. |
3 | 1 | SACRED KINGDOM (CG268) | O Doleuze | TT | Carried to a rail position after start, 3Ls adrift to leader in middle stages, switched to 2-wide making home turn, made steady progress passing 400 M, came close final 50 M but couldn't wear down the winner. |
4 | 4 | SUNNY POWER (CG203) | B Prebble | H-/CP | Slightly slow out, in a handy position early before taking up the running near 800 M, head 1L advantage going into straight, kept on strongly and was just swamped in the closing stages. |
5 | 5 | SUNNY KING (CH105) | G Mosse | XB/H/TT | Even break, settled 3-wide in mid-division, crept closer rounding the home bend, brought with a run 350 M, kept giving to the line but once again couldn't pull out the extra under pressure. |
6 | 3 | GREEN BIRDIE (CH245) | C Soumillon | -- | Soon towards the rear after starting a little slow, had 4Ls to make up turning in, closed off the race strongly down the inside but was severely checked near the 50 M mark. Should have been closer. |
7 | 8 | YELLOW DIAMOND (CD246) | C K Tong | B | Quickly away to hold a prominent position on the rail, hampered near 800 M when the front runner steadied the tempo, unable to sprint with them on straightening and could produce an one-paced finish only. (Lame front leg.) |
8 | 9 | KILDARE (CJ198) | W C Marwing | SR | Restrained on jumping, raced as the back marker trailing 5Ls to the leader, checked and shifted wider near the top of the bend, made a little progress in the straight but never really threatened. |
9 | 7 | SANZIRO (CE208) | Z Purton | B/XB/TT | Given a waiting ride in a position towards the rear but ran a shade keen in the middle stages, carried wide making the home turn, unable to find top gear and was gradually outpaced from 200 M. |
10 | 6 | RIVER JORDAN (CG194) | D Beadman | TT | Jumped well, drifted back to a midfield position one off the fence, checked near 700 M, found little when pressed on in straight and was a touch disappointing. |
