1 2 GOODY (CD239) K L Chui -- Began with them, didn't have early speed but settled closer closer in midfield 5Ls back 2 wide, enjoyed good run with speed on, angled 3 wide on bend and 4 wide into straight, finished strongly to claim them at 200 M and hold on.
2 4 LOTZATOW (CD397) M Nunes -- Well enough away, drifted back to settle just behind midfield, raced 6Ls back in 2 wide position, travelled well between horses turning in, into clear at 250 M and finished stoutly despite hanging to share 2nd late.
3 12 RIVER JORDAN (CG194) F Coetzee TT A shade awkward to begin, slotted into 3 wide line just off midfield 6Ls back, wide throughout with cover on circle, tracked eventual winner on bend, stuck to task continually making ground from well back to be right there on line.
4 8 HONEY MONEY (CC359) D Nikolic B/TT First to hit ground, went on to take up running early, handed up but pressured throughout outside leader, continued working hard taking lead on bend, took over but overhauled when run ended at 150 M. Stuck on well.
4 10 TIME SUPREME (CE012) A Starke -- Lost some ground on jumping, soon towards rear, raced on rails 8Ls away from pace, not asked in mid-section. Still well back turning in, saved ground and made run between horses (held up) in straight, flew home last 100 M.
6 5 BULLISH CASH (CH049) B Prebble TT With rest from break, unable to slot in early, posted 3 wide without cover, 3Ls back always working hard on circle, right there 1L back turning in, threatened to 200 M but just couldn't sprint late after working very hard in run.
7 7 GOLDEN SUN (CD386) O Doleuze SR/V Slow into stride, niggled along to drive up into midfield role, 3 to 4Ls away on rail, angled 2 wide on bend, in traffic for best part of straight but closed steadily all the while to be not far off them in the finish.
8 3 CLEAN SWEEP (CD323) D Whyte B2 Moderate to begin, soon re-gathered to take up spot in front of midfield 2 wide 4Ls back, eased 3 wide with trail on circle, into clear on turning but run ended at 200 M and just kept same pace to line.
9 1 VIVA MACAU (CH110) C Soumillon SR/TT1 Amongst first few into stride, settled into 1 out 1 back spot 3Ls back, carted along at reasonable speed by first two, close enough turning in, run opened at 200 M but was dour last furlong sticking on at one clip.
10 11 BEST POWER (CG006) S Dye -- Even break, restrained from a wide alley to assume usual role towards rear, raced 10Ls away at tail, still well back on bend, had job to do in straight, steadily made ground in straight to be closest at finish.
11 9 BEING FAMOUS (CD018) G Mosse B Began well, bumped rail but still had enough to hold leaders back 3Ls back, made ground to be right there on circle, tracked nicely turning in, amongst horses for most of home stretch but never really going well enough to be a factor.
11 14 ENGINEERING WONDER (CB300) H W Lai -- Tardy to begin, positioned behind midfield on rails 6Ls from pace, not set a task in mid-section, saved ground on bend and stuck to rails in straight, no clear run until 150 M, race was run once in clear.
13 6 EQUATOR KID (CC134) E Saint-Martin -- Standard beginning, drifted back towards rear, raced 2 wide 8Ls off them in middle stages, angled 3 wide with run on bend, switched wide in straight but didn't find a lot in run home just holding position to finish.
14 13 FERRO BEAU (CG244) C K Tong -- Began nicely, over-raced and pressed on to challenge for lead, took over and kept speed on with pressure from outside horse, shaded on bend, gave in when workload took toll at 300 M and dropped out late.
