1 1 BRILLIANT TREASURE (CH045) D Whyte -- Began with rest, assumed a midfield position, 3Ls back in 2 wide line, improved 3 wide with cover on bend, made a strong bid at 300 M, held rivals easily in run to line.
2 5 NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) M Du Plessis -- Even beginning, settled 3 wide behind midfield 4 to 5Ls back, covered ground throughout, tracked eventual winner on bend, stayed on soundly in straight to finish a handy 3rd.
3 12 HEART TO HEART (CH160) M Nunes B/TT Shade tardy to break, raced in rearward division 2 wide 6Ls back, pace not really to suit, made solid progress between horses in straight to be nearest on line.

5 9 SURE GAIN (CJ038) B Prebble -- Jumped with rest, settled in midfield on rails 3 to 4Ls back, didn't use much in mid-section, stayed on evenly along inside (steadied 350 M) but just held ground late.
6 2 SUPER CEE JAY (CG289) P H Lo B/TT Out well, unable to slot in and forced to race 3 wide without cover 2Ls back, did share of work to bend, challenged on turning but hard run took toll from 300 M and didn't finish off last furlong.
