1 13 MAGIC CHARIOT (CH094) Z Purton B/H/TT Always in front rank within 1L of the speed, led about 200 M out, driven out to hold a neck margin, gamely.
2 7 THUNDER FLASH (CG270) B Prebble -- Switched from far side towards stands' rail and 1L off speed from 600 M to vie for the lead 200 M out, always just held by the winner.
3 2 NORTHERN HERO (CG172) G Boss -- On stands' rail worse than midfield about 3Ls from the early pace, ran on well for a place while hanging in.

5 12 COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) K L Chui TT Led early on, clear by about a neck before being headed 200 M out, petered out in final furlong.
6 6 MAGIC TURBO (CJ098) O Doleuze -- Checked at the start, midfield no better than 2Ls from the pace early, struggling to make a serious impact at 200 M, always held thereafter.
7 3 WHIPLASH (CG072) C Soumillon B- Soon racing about 5Ls last, still well back at 200 M, stayed on fairly past a few beaten rivals but posed no threat.

9 10 LUCIA (CH229) F Coetzee B/XB Nicely placed on stands' rail about a neck down in 2nd or so through first half, struggling to lie up at 200 M and beaten when checked 100 M out.
10 14 SPEED FIGHTER (CD355) M Nunes B Midfield within 2Ls of the speed nearest the far rail down centre of the track until halfway, steadily lost touch through latter stages.
