1 6 AOMEN (N008) D Whyte B-/P1 Broke well, took a trail and eased into 1 out 1 back spot throughout, poised to strike rounding bend, soon rounded up rivals in straight and ran away for an easy win.
2 5 NOBLE ALPHA (M339) B Prebble -- Away well, took up running, took trail in back straight, right there turning and joined in strongly with eventual winner, no match for winner but well clear of 3rd.
3 9 FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) Y T Cheng -- Well back in running line more than 12Ls from top end, aided by pace but track conditions against, made a long sustained run and closed off creditably for 3rd.
4 2 MR MEDICI (CK218) G Mosse -- Sat not far off pace group, 4Ls or so back in running line, even trip throughput, stayed on ok in circumstances before run ended at 200m.
5 1 SILVER GRECIAN (CL323) Z Purton H-/XB-/TT Ended up behind midfield 10Ls back in running line, track pattern against and had job to do turning, closed well and looked a place chance but run ended at 200m.
6 4 CROWN WITNESS (M013) M Chadwick TT Awkwardly away, mustered and worked forward wide to race outside leader, keep speed honest throughout, took over turning and there to 300m but quickly gave in and faded.
7 11 STRAIGHT FORWARD (CL100) C Y Ho -- Behind midfield 8-9Ls back in running line, track pattern against, ridden along turning however never really featured.
8 13 EMPEROR CLAUDIUS (M128) T H So P/XB Landed a midfield role, 8Ls or so away, even trip but struggling turning and never looked a threat despite hanging.
9 10 CHEER (CL277) C Y Lui TT In rear division, more than 12Ls off pace on rails, track pattern hardly helped, rearward throughout passing only the weakening runners.
10 14 I SMELL MONEY (M019) K C Ng -- Away well as usual, pressed on and took up running in back straight, shaded by outside horse throughout and kept pace genuine, headed turning and stopped quickly.
11 8 VAUGIRARD (CK347) W C Marwing B Drifted back to rear from a wide gate, 15Ls off them at tail with track playing against, passed tired ones. Forgive run.
12 7 DISTILL (N270) T Clark -- Landed a spot 4-5Ls back on rails, fair trail and not asked to turn, weakened badly from 400m to be beaten a long way. Forgive on surface.
13 12 ROYAL PARTNER (N394) C K Tong -- Taken back from a wide gate, raced 2 and 3 wide at rear nearly 15Ls back, never sighted and beaten a long way. Forgive on surface.
14 3 TURF EXPRESS (CL399) U Rispoli TT Trapped 3 wide towards rear, 12Ls or so back, struggling a long way out and finished tailed off (heart irregularity).
