1 | 10 | AASHIQ (CK175) | J Lloyd | CP | Showed usual pace to roll forward, took up running and rolled along at own leisure 2Ls clear, held a margin turning and fought on well final 300m to defy rivals. |
2 | 4 | CAPTAIN SWEET (CL354) | D Beadman | -- | Pressed forward to take a prominent spot first outside leader, enjoyed a fair trip with even speed on, 2Ls down and improving turning, loomed up but couldn't make ground final 100m. |
3 | 6 | FAT CHOY OOHLALA (CL250) | Z Purton | B | Faded back from a wide alley, raced near last on rails nearly 10ls back, kept to fence and saved ground turning, closed hard along inside final 300m making many lengths and just missed 2nd. |
4 | 3 | ADMIRATION (CL216) | B Prebble | B- | Angled into ideal spot 1 out 1 back, had all favours in run, improved at 350m, kept coming final furlong grinding away to make frame. |
5 | 11 | SWEET ORANGE (M289) | M Barzalona | TT | Drifted back to settle with last few, raced 3 wide 8Ls or so back, had cover in mid section, came to outside and warmed up strongly final 300m making good ground to be nearest on line. |
6 | 1 | BEAUTY FLASH (CK314) | G Mosse | TT | Shade tardy to begin, wasn't in usual role on pace, sat 3Ls back on rails, even run to turn, made steady progress but peaked on run final 100m. (See Racing Incidents.) |
7 | 5 | LEADING CITY (CK298) | O Doleuze | -- | Showed usual speed early but unable to hold lead, was difficult to settle racing behind leader, close enough on turn, kept on well enough but lacked dash to factor final 200m. |
8 | 7 | PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) | M Chadwick | TT | Fractious before start, landed a spot in midfield, reasonable run to bend, kept to task in straight but had too much to do, made minor ground late. |
9 | 2 | SICHUAN SUCCESS (CL307) | D Whyte | TT | Out in line, posted 3 wide without cover from outside alley, worked too hard wide in midfield, kept on well enough but hard run took toll final 250m. |
10 | 8 | BRAVE KID (CK391) | M L Yeung | -- | No early speed, raced behind midfield on rails, 7Ls away in mid section, saved ground on bend, one paced in straight and failed to threaten. |
11 | 12 | LONGWAH SUPREME (M293) | M Du Plessis | B-/TT- | Allowed to settle in 2nd half of field, raced in two wide line 8-9Ls away, had job to do turning, just produced an even close making minor progress. |
12 | 9 | WHITE JADE (CK131) | T Clark | H/CP/XB | No early toe, raced 2 and 3 wide at rear 10Ls off lead, always well back, never threatened. |
