1 7 SPICY GOLD (H440) A Badel H/TT Settled in 6th just better than midfield, slightly worse onto home bend, obtained a run over 200M out and quickened well to assert authority close to home.
2 10 SHINKANSEN (H277) M Chadwick H/SR/TT Settled worse than midfield, shifted wide into straight, finished well like a train down the centre of the track inside final 200M.
3 5 GLORY CLOUD (H320) H Bowman TT Travelled wide in rear of midfield, improved to 2L 4th 2-wide 800M out, fought on steadily from a similar position into straight but found first two too good.

5 6 NEW POWER (H325) M L Yeung H Jumped best settling just off the pace in 4th or 5th, became 3rd in similar position rounding home bend, kept on same pace without quickening in straight.
6 4 BEAUTY DESTINY (H281) A Atzeni H/P/TT Close up, improved to join race leader 700M out hitting the front briefly early in straight, unable to sustain effort and swamped inside final 100M.
7 9 IVICTORIAM (J226) A Hamelin B/XB/TT Settled in rear, switched off heels for a run over 150M out, made some late impression.
