1 1 GOOD BA BA (CE201) C Soumillon TT Settled in midfield. Gradually shifted out for a run over 300 M out. Responded well to take command over 100 M out. Convincingly.
2 8 ABLE ONE (CG108) D Beadman -- Moderate start. Restrained 2-back with rails run in joint 4th. Soon obtained a clear passage after straightening. Fought on nicely closing stages but found winner too good.
3 7 EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) F Coetzee TT Began only fairly. Gradually improved to take up running 400 M after start, crossing to rails shortly. Held clear advantage to 200 M and swamped but fought on for a placing.
4 6 SPIRITO DEL VENTO (CJ607) O Peslier XB Travelled towards rear. Finished off race strongly inside final 250 M. Did best work late.
5 4 SUPER HORNET (CK602) Y Fujioka -- Settled behind midfield. Only produced moderate headway in the run home without threatening.
6 3 ARMADA (CE246) D Whyte -- Broke well. Settled in forward of midfield. Fought on steadily until finding no extra closing stages.
7 13 JOY AND FUN (CH014) W C Marwing -- Raced one-out-one-back in 3rd. Kept on before failing to sustain effort inside final 200 M.
8 11 MAJOR CADEAUX (CK606) R Hughes -- Fair start. Gradually picked up along rails to race in midfield. Similar turning in. Failed to quicken under pressure in straight.
9 2 KIP DEVILLE (CK601) C Velasquez XB/TT Broke well and fast into stride. Settled 3-wide without cover in 2-back position sharing 4th. Hung wide making home bend and never recovered.
10 5 PRESSING (CK603) N Callan -- Not far off in better than midfield position. 2-back in 5th turning for home. Soon faded under pressure.
11 14 NATAGORA (CK607) C Lemaire -- With leaders early. Settled one-back on rails approaching home bend. Obtained run from box-seat after turning in but soon folded up.
12 9 AWESOME GEM (CK604) G Gomez V/XB/TT Never seen with a chance always racing well behind.
13 10 LAA RAYB (CK605) R Ffrench E/XB Slow to muster. Remained in last few most of way. Soon weakened out of contention after straightening.
14 12 BULLISH CASH (CH049) M Kinane TT Hampered at start and soon dropped to tail-end. Virtually trailed the field throughout.
