Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | SECRET SHAM (P174) | N Rawiller | H/XB | Up with early leaders, crossed to lead 950M without being pushed, led slowly and uncontested mid-race, sprinted home well and had enough in hand to hold off pursuers. |
2 | 3 | REAL SPECIALIST (M143) | B Prebble | P | Never far off 2.5Ls behind leader in a slowly run race, sprinted home well from 350M, chased winner all the way to line, held by diminishing neck. |
3 | 8 | EXCITING DREAM (P191) | K C Leung | CP/TT1 | Settled down near the rear 3-4Ls off leader, shifted out into clear passing 300M, responded well when asked, nearest line. |
4 | 1 | REWARDING HERO (N376) | D Whyte | H/XB | Held up near the rear 7th of 9 in a slowly run race, stayed on well enough final 400M under top weight, got up for 4th near finish. |
5 | 9 | SUPER LIFELINE (P158) | H W Lai | -- | Within striking distance always, tracked pace in 2nd making the turn, kept on steadily early straight, lost 2nd 150M, no threat to leaders thereafter. |
6 | 5 | NOT LISTENIN'TOME (T235) | J Moreira | H/TT | Tracked leaders early stages, shuffled back a bit making the turn but remained in touch, brief effort early straight to go 3rd, failed to kick on final 200M. (Jockey said tempo of the race did not suit.) |
7 | 7 | DIVINE CALLING (S282) | D Lane | B-/H1 | Led early stages, restrained to track leaders in 3rd, had every chance turning home, kept on same speed, faded final stages. (Blood in trachea.) |
8 | 6 | ALL YOU WISH (P031) | Z Purton | B-/TT | Eased to the rear about 5-6Ls back in a slowly run race, ran on same pace with main rivals over final 400M, couldn't make any real progress. |
9 | 2 | CHARLES THE GREAT (N171) | G Mosse | SR/TT | From wide draw shifted across behind runners, travelled in rear pair 5-6Ls behind, over-raced in early and middle stages, not picked up pace inside 400M, left behind mid-straight. |
