1 | 14 | SUPER MISSILE (B081) | J Moreira | -- | Eased forward to settle midfield, 3 wide with limited cover. Progressed to a prominent position at the top of the straight. Huge turn of foot under minimal urging from 200m to win very easily, and was eased late. |
2 | 3 | RAGING BLITZKRIEG (B147) | N Rawiller | H | Pressed forward early to settle just forward of midfield. Stayed on strongly in the straight for easy 2nd, but no hope of catching winner. |
3 | 12 | ROYAL MOJITO (A261) | C Schofield | CP-/TT | Pushed forward early from the wide draw to initially share the lead, before dropping back to 2nd at 900m. Raced tight 650m. Ran solidly for most of the straight, but running on tired legs late. |
4 | 5 | GIANT TURTLE (T391) | U Rispoli | SR/TT | Cruised forward early to sit around midfield. Struck on heels and unbalanced 600m. 2nd last on the turn. Stayed on well in the straight, and was working through the field. |
5 | 1 | ENCOURAGING (B109) | S Clipperton | B/TT | Dropped back from the wide draw to settle worse than midfield, 3 wide. Bumped and unbalanced 750m. Wider on the turn and stayed on well early in the straight, before running 1 paced late. |
6 | 11 | THE CREATETH (A336) | T Berry | XB | Pressed forward from the wide draw to settle 3rd, 1 off the fence. Made a move at 600m, but was 1 paced in the straight. |
7 | 10 | HARD BALL GET (P373) | M F Poon | B | Pushed forward from the wide draw to assume the lead. Still in front at 300m, but battled home 1 paced and eased late. |
8 | 2 | HEALTHY JOYFUL (S358) | Z Purton | B/H/TT | Eased forward early and eventually settled around midfield. Went for a skinny run at 750m, but was bumped and unbalanced. Wider in the straight, but only plugged away fairly to the line. |
9 | 4 | SLEEP EDUCATION (A362) | K Teetan | -- | Cruised forward early to settle just behind midfield. Came off heels 750m. No threat in the straight, and not pushed hard late. |

11 | 9 | ENJOYABLE SUCCESS (B150) | O Doleuze | H/XB/P1 | Fairly away, then crowded and lost ground. Settled last, 4-5L off the next horse. Plugged away fairly in the straight, but had too much to make up. |
12 | 7 | POSITIVELY HIGH (B245) | G Mosse | -- | Tardy to begin, before settling 3rd last. Checked off heels and unbalanced 600m. Gave nothing early in the straight and cruised to the line late under minimal urging. |
