1 8 LASER POWER (CE129) B Prebble V Jumped with field, pressed on but caught wide from an awkward draw, raced 3-wide 2Ls back with cover, had nice trail to bend, came with strong run to take over at 200 M and asserted authority late for another solid win.
2 2 FIFTY FIFTY (CD131) G Mosse -- Began nicely, held a prominent spot behind leader, had run of race on leaders back with honest speed on, tracked well on bend, gap presented at 200 M and dashed through with good run but found winner better on night.
3 10 BRAMBLE BLITZ (CG283) O Doleuze -- Standard break, soon towards rear, settled in 2-wide spot 3-4Ls away, had good trip with pace on, tracked well on bend, into clear at 150 M, kept on down middle to take 3rd narrowly.
4 7 WIN AGAIN (CD371) C Soumillon B Awkward to begin but regathered to sit just off midfield 4Ls back on fence, had easy time in run, in traffic and held up on turning and again at 200 M, did best work late when in clear to be nearest on line.
5 1 EXPECTATIONS (CD078) C K Tong SR Began well, outpaced early, posted wide in midfield 4Ls back without cover, always working and dropped in on bend, 5Ls down on turning, switched out and made up some ground to be nearest on line.
6 11 CHIMERA (CG242) A Delpech -- Moderate beginning, not much early toe and ended up 6Ls back on rails, not asked in mid-section, saved ground on bend, kept on evenly in straight doing best work late.
7 5 GREAT GUY (CH112) F Coetzee TT Jumped with line, took trail behind speed in 1 out 1 back position throughout 2Ls away, had good suck into race, into clear passing 200 M but unable to respond to pressure and was one-paced in run to line. (See Racing Incidents.)
8 6 CHATER POWER (CG312) D Whyte -- Amongst them leaving gates, showed early dash to take up running, rolled along at good clip when pressured, held a narrow lead on turning, collared at 200 M when run ended and weakened out to line.
9 9 TRAVEL CONSULTANT (CG266) C W Wong -- Slow into stride, soon towards tail, raced 2-wide 6Ls off pace, had quiet time before inconvenienced and lost position at 500 M, well back on turning in, came to outside and made up some late ground without ever looking likely.
10 4 CANNONISE (CD377) S Dye B/TT Standard jump, hard ridden to take closer order, pushed on 4-wide without cover, had hard run 2Ls back doing plenty to turn, not far away on straightening but soon weakened when workload took effect and dropped right out.
11 12 HELENE ELEGANCE (CB004) M Odendaal B/TT First to hit ground, showed usual dash to battle for early lead, raced at leaders girth applying pressure, did share of work with speed on, right there on turning, couldn't find when they went up a notch and weakened noticeably late.
12 3 EVERY TIME (CD314) Y T Cheng SR2 Sprung with them, urged along and raced more forward than usual 3-wide outside the leader, applied pressure and had a tough run without cover, kept challenging turning in but run ended soon after and dropped right out. (Lame.)
