1 3 MAVERICK (CE199) W M Lai TT Niggled along early but settled 3-back on fence about 3Ls off pace in 4th or 5th until home straight, dug in well to lead over 50 M out, kept on.
2 8 PURPLE GOLD (CD249) B Prebble B Disputed early lead, settled 2Ls back and 2-wide in 3rd at 1100 M, 1L down in 2nd turning for home, briefly led over 200 M out but grabbed winner over final 50 M.
3 7 TRIUMPH (CC214) D Whyte V Had the run of the race about 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 1200 M to homestretch, tight for running briefly but lacked the decisive kick once clear, did just enough for 3rd.
4 12 LA MERVEILLE (CC205) M Nunes CP-/H-/B2 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, similarly placed off final bend, had every hope to place but just battled on.
5 11 POSA (CE337) A Delpech SR/H Tended to hang in places, worse than midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls behind through to final turn, stayed on only fairly, never really threatened.
6 5 BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) R Fradd B 2 and 3-wide in rear with cover at least 6Ls or 7Ls off pace until 500 M, pushed out 6-wide (widest of all) off home straight, finished off well late, never nearer.
7 9 DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) Y T Cheng B Slowly away, 4-back on fence about 5Ls off speed at 1200 M, marginally closer and under pressure on straightening for home, always well held.
8 10 ONE EYE JACK (CD393) M Odendaal B Sent on to lead by 2Ls on fence at 1100 M, led until being headed at top of home straight, weakened out tamely.
9 1 SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) F Coetzee XB/TT Always laboured in rear at least 6Ls from the front, never dangerous.
10 6 MASTER DREAMER (CE293) K S Yu B Left 3-wide no cover throughout, 4Ls back in 6th at 1100 M, 2Ls down in 4th at 800 M, hard pressed to lie up entering homestretch, fizzled out.
11 4 PROPELLOR (CE263) O Doleuze V Always in rear, 6Ls back in 10th early on and same through to final turn, very weak.
12 2 EVER KING (CE147) N Ryan V/TT Worse than midfield 3-wide but with cover early, about 3Ls or 4Ls from pace from 800 M to home turn when hard ridden, found nothing off the bridle.
