1 3 SACRED KINGDOM (CG268) G Mosse TT With cover in 9th or so about 4Ls from the speed until home turn, quickened up very well to lead 150 M out, ran on impressively.
2 1 ABSOLUTE CHAMPION (CE060) B Prebble CP 3Ls back in midfield when checked at 800 M, improved to be 2Ls back in 4th at final bend, dangerous 300 M out but no chance with winner late on.
3 9 ROYAL DELIGHT (CG192) S Dye B Led on fence by 1L from 800 M to home turn, headed inside final 200 M but did well enough to place.
4 5 SCINTILLATION (CC228) E Saint-Martin XB/H Midfield between 3Ls and 4Ls from the front until home turn, ran on well without getting to grips with leading trio.
5 11 SUNNY POWER (CG203) Y T Cheng -- Towards rear about 5Ls from the speed until home bend, stayed on past some beaten rivals.
6 4 MARCHAND D'OR (CJ601) D Bonilla -- Slowly away, 6Ls from the speed in rear early on, about 4Ls down turning for home, stayed on only fairly.
7 12 GREEN BIRDIE (CH245) L Dettori B1 Slowest away losing 3Ls on the leaders, 6Ls last until home turn when 5-wide swinging into final bend, made only a minor impact.
8 6 TIZA (CJ602) C Soumillon SR 3-wide with cover towards rear about 5Ls or 6Ls from the speed until home turn, always outpaced.
9 7 DESERT LORD (CH602) N Callan B In front rank within 1L or 2Ls of the lead until home turn, gave ground final 400 M.
10 13 MISS ANDRETTI (CJ605) C Newitt TT Prominent but wide and too keen down backstretch, over 2Ls back in 6th at final bend when under pressure, capitulated.
11 8 WHY BE (CJ603) N Callow TT Trapped 5-wide no cover down backstretch, widest in midfield 3Ls from the pace turning for home, extra work took its toll.
12 10 SUNNY SING (CE135) D Beadman CP/TT Had the run of the race about 2Ls from the front until the 600 M, hard pressed to lie up turning for home, faded out.
13 2 BENBAUN (CG619) P Smullen V Close up not much more than 1L from the lead until final turn, under pressure when checked 300 M out, soon well beaten.
