Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | COUNTRY DANCER (H436) | K Teetan | E | Jumped only fairly, taken back to last 5-6Ls off leader, still plenty to do top of straight, did best work final 200M, got up last stride. |
2 | 6 | SAME TO YOU (H057) | B Avdulla | H/P/TT | Ended up leading the field in a slowly run race, kept to task well on straightening, caught by winner near line. (Jockey : not his intention to lead.) |
3 | 12 | WIND SPEEDER (E281) | A Pouchin | B2 | Stayed in touch with leaders along the fence, moved up to 3rd 200M, dug deep late stages and just missed 2nd in a close finish. |
4 | 10 | PLENTIFUL (G400) | A Atzeni | XB/TT | From draw 1 moved up to track leader in a slowly run race, poised to strike 300M, ran on steadily to the line but was always held by first 3 late stages. |
5 | 1 | DAN ATTACK (H317) | J McDonald | B/TT | Restrained to race behind midfield, raced keenly in the middle stages, brought wide top of straight then ran on well under top weight to be nearest at the finish. |
6 | 4 | RUBY SAILING (H347) | Z Purton | B2/TT | Jumped fairly, settled near last further back than intended, raced keenly early stages, briefly held up early straight before closing off the race mildly. |
7 | 5 | STRIVE FOR GLORY (D186) | M L Yeung | P/TT | Driven forward, vied for early lead before sitting back in 3rd, couldn't accelerate enough on straightening, well held by leaders final 200M. |
8 | 8 | TIMESTORM (G109) | L Ferraris | V | Away on terms, taken across to the fence and obtained a position behind midfield, ran home one paced final 300M, never a threat to leaders. |
9 | 2 | MODEST GENTLEMAN (G352) | H Bentley | B | Raced keenly in a position ahead of midfield, unable to run on when placed under pressure passing 300M. (Jockey : unsuited when the pace of the event was run outside of standard.) |
10 | 3 | LIFE OF STONE (J374) | C L Chau | B | From draw 12 caught racing wide no cover in midfield, left behind by rivals from 300M and was soundly beaten. |
