1st 6 Be The Difference (IRE) 9 G AVG
Philip Kirby 151 lbs 13/2 Won Took keen hold - prominent - led 5th - soon went well clear - 30 lengths ahead 3 out - going easily but reduced lead after 2 out - 5 lengths ahead last - ridden out run-in - unchallenged(tchd 6/1)
2nd 3 Copper Beach (IRE) 7 G Poor
Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith 157 lbs 17/2 - Towards rear - headway after 2 out - disputing third last - stayed on and went second towards finish - too much to do and did well in the circumstances (inquiry held into running and riding; jockey stated his instructions were to ride gelding with cover while keeping a good hold of his head as he can be thick winded; he felt that asking for an effort to chase down the winner - going against the instructions given - would be unnecessary taking into account that he felt a too fast gallop had been set under a relatively inexperienced rider; he further added he felt gallop set was unsustainable over 3m 1/2f and was of the opinion that winner was going to weaken quickly in home straight)(op 16/1)
3rd 2 Atomic Angel (GB) 9 M AVG
Susan Corbett 155 lbs 22/1 - Took keen hold - prominent - led narrowly before 3rd - headed 5th - soon chased clear leader - headway and 5 lengths second last - no extra and lost second towards finish - too much to do (inquiry held into running and riding; jockey stated her instructions were to sit handy and ride the race as it developed; she then added she was aware of the sizeable gap and asker her mount to chase down the leader towards end of back straight on final circuit; she further added she felt the gallop set was unsustainable over 3m 1/2f and she was of theopinion that winner was going to weaken quickly in home straight)(op 28/1)
4th 1 You Some Girl (IRE) 8 M AVG
Rebecca Menzies 163 lbs 6/4F - Held up in last - still plenty to do when bit short of room and switched right after 2 out - soon headway - disputing third last - no extra inside final 110yds - too much to do and did well in the circumstances (inquiry held into running and riding; jockey stated his instructions were to get cover which is how mare ins normally ridden in all of her races and progressively pass horses as race developed as she only has one run but he was caught in a pocket behind runners; he further added that he was aware of margin between eventual winner and remainder of field but felt it would have been unnecessary to change his tactics due to what he considered to be too hard of a gallop; he further added he felt the gallop set was unsustainable over 3m 1/2f and was of the opinion that winner was going to weaken quickly in home straight)(op 5/4)
