2 5 DR POSSI (CE288) D Whyte -- 3 wide without cover throughout the race. 1L behind leader entering the Straight. Fought on to hold some chance final 200 M and was outpaced by the winner close home.
3 2 MANIFEST (CC048) C K Tong B/TT Attempted to make all. Took the rail being out-paced by first pair at 250 M. Tried hard but weakened inside 150 M.
4 12 SURE FORTUNE (CC033) H W Lai B/TT Fair jump then shifted inside to the rail to stay 3 back. Midfield entering the Straight. Ran well when clear inside 150 M and ran on to just miss a place.
5 9 GOOD TO GREAT (CD278) C Soumillon -- Never far off. 3wide with cover 3Ls from leader entering the straight. Ran on well final 250 M to produce some late impression near finish.
6 11 FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) A Delpech SR/H Kept rearward. Behind midfield entering home turn. Shifted out for running final 300 M. Kept on but found no extra to stay in contention final stages.
7 8 LORD CAIRNS (CE127) B Prebble B2 Checked on jump. Tailed throughout. Responded strongly on the rail inside 300 M. Made up good ground final 200 M without clear running. Wasn't fully tested.
8 4 JADE DANCER (CE170) R Fradd B- 3 deep 2 wide with cover on back straight. Around midfield and never looked like a threat. Kept on steadily in straight without improving its position.
9 7 TROPHY (CD027) S Sanders -- Midfield or better. Hard ridden before straightening to maintain position. Found no extra and gave ground final 200 M.
10 1 HIGHLAND DAWN (CC138) E Saint-Martin B Trailed the field most of way. Shifted wide on home straight. Made no impression in straight.
11 10 UNIVERSAL KOMISSAR (CE096) S Dye -- Towards rear. Last few to enter home straight. One-paced to finish. Never a factor.
