1 11 SOLAR EMPIRE (CB299) W M Lai -- Led on fence 1300m out and took good hold early on, never more than 2Ls clear into home straight when travelling well, shot 4Ls clear 200 M out, very easily.
2 5 DANEHILL WARRIOR (CB452) S Dye -- Had the run of the race in 2nd or 3rd place on fence about 2Ls off speed from 1200 M out, still well placed when niggled along 600 M out, no chance with winner in stretch.
3 7 DOLBRIDGE (BS295) W C Marwing B Settled 5Ls off pace on fence 1200 M out, 4Ls down and on the bridle 500 M out, no chance with winner and unable to reel in runner-up in straight, stayed on dourly nevertheless.
4 1 GOOD NEWS (BS280) O Doleuze B 4Ls off pace on fence 1200 M out and hard pressed to be closer entering home straight, very one-paced through concluding stages.
