1 5 MORNING GREEN (CK352) B Prebble XB- From the outside alley, settled midfield 3 deep with cover. Straightened widest and lifted well over the last furlong to gain the ascendancy inside the last 20m.
2 14 MY MELODY (CJ157) W Pike B/XB/TT Travelled in a handy spot behind the speed, 2 wide with cover. Shot to the lead at the 100m but was headed close to the winning post.
3 2 BLADE FORCE (CK330) M Chadwick B1/TT Urged forward from high draw to cross and lead on the fence. Was pressured by a runner to its outside from about the 800m, maintained a good gallop to the finish.
4 9 TREMENDOUS ADD (CL044) J Winks H1 Raced midfield the fence. Raced tight inside another runner approaching the 350m, ran to the wire soundly.
5 3 BLINK AGAIN (CK011) W M Lai XB-/V/TT Settled back in the event, then made the turn awkwardly at the 800m, got its head up and lost ground, settling behind midfield 2-3 wide with cover. Eased out early in the straight and made good ground.
6 13 PRIVATE ROAD (CK189) Z Purton XB/B1 Got back in the event along the rails. Peeled out early in the straight and worked to the line nicely.
