1 9 SIGHT WINNER (CJ049) B Prebble -- Jumped best, tracked leader in the 1-out-1-back position, taken closer turning in drawing level if not in front inside final 200 M, just prevailed.
2 2 EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) F Coetzee TT Began fairly from the one draw, took up running passing the 1400 M mark holding a 1L advantage from the eventual winner to the straight, soon joined after straightening, fought on doggedly but denied in the bobbing of heads. Lame next day.
3 10 DAO DAO (CK642) W C Marwing -- Slightly slow to jump, quickly recovered along rails to a 2-back position in 3rd, fought on well under pressure in straight, did best work late.
4 1 GOOD BA BA (CE201) C Soumillon TT Travelled mainly 3-wide in mid-division, remained similar into straight, soon came under pressure to challenge but could only run on steadily without threatening.
5 8 COLLECTION (CK217) D Beadman TT Soon taken back from the middle draw, progressed along rails down far side to reach mid-division coming out of back straight, snuck up to 3L 3rd turning in, fought on steadily in straight but swamped for a placing close to home.
6 7 IMBONGI (CK641) K Shea SR Settled behind midfield, did not make a strong impression in straight, never nearer.
7 4 ALEXANDROS (CK640) L Dettori XB Slow out, settled mainly 3-wide towards the rear of the field, shaken up to challenge down centre of straight, fought on steadily without threatening.
8 3 MORE BOUNTIFUL (CJ094) D Whyte -- Broke well, soon restrained to midfield for cover, slightly worse turning for home, fought on steadily without quickening.
9 5 ARMADA (CE246) E Saint-Martin -- Broke well from the widest draw, travelled wide without cover in a prominent spot in joint 3rd about 2Ls off the speed to the straight, soon yielded ground after straightening.
10 6 FELLOWSHIP (CG292) Z Purton TT Settled well back, last into straight, switched out for a run after straightening but could only produce moderate impression down the centre of the straight.
11 11 UNIQUE JEWELLERY (CH196) O Doleuze B1 Settled well behind, saved ground turning in, not much to give under urge in straight.
