1 13 SNOW FAIRY (M619) R Moore -- Dropped back to near last after the start, confidently ridden, 6Ls to make up passing 400 M, accelerated impressively from a near impossible position, drew level with runner-up 50 M out and edged away.
2 6 IRIAN (CL187) B Prebble H/TT Positioned 2-wide and held up behind midfield, ran on gamely final 300 M only beaten by UK's champion 3yo filly Snow Fairy near finish.
3 8 PACKING WINNER (CE334) O Doleuze -- Led uncontested and took them along at a sedate tempo, pressed nearing top of straight, held on to lead until 100 M, battled on well late stages for place honour.
4 1 VISION D'ETAT (CL614) O Peslier -- Towards the rear and not hurried, travelled well throughout, driven along inside 500 M, finished well down the outside final 250 M, just beaten for 3rd.
5 10 PLANTEUR (M616) L Dettori SR Positioned 2-wide in mid-division, out into clear 350 M, ran on well to 150 M but turned one pace thereafter.
6 4 SUPER SATIN (CK116) D Whyte B2 Placed off the rail ahead of midfield, held up along the inside till 250 M but found less than expected when clear.
7 3 CIRRUS DES AIGLES (CL623) F Blondel -- Positively ridden early to overcome a wide draw, sat one out one back and chased leader to 150 M, outpaced late stages.
8 11 STACELITA (M617) C Lemaire -- Prominent behind leaders in the 2-path, loomed a threat 250 M out but tired inside 100 M.
9 12 REGGANE (M618) G Mosse SR/TT Reserved in last over 10Ls behind leader in a slowly run race, finished the last 400 M 2nd fastest but was left with too much to do.
10 9 SUPER PISTACHIO (CL099) F Coetzee TT Forwardly placed just behind leader, went off the rail nearing 500 M to challenge, found no extra pace in straight and weakened steadily 200 M.
11 7 SRI PUTRA (M615) P Robinson B Not suited by the slow pace and raced keenly behind midfield in the first half, brushed the rail at 400 M and lost momentum, one-paced final 200 M.
12 5 GLASS HARMONIUM (M614) C Williams SR/TT Held up towards the rear, made very limited progress inside 400 M, never a factor.
13 2 COLLECTION (CK217) D Beadman H- Held up behind midfield 7 to 8Ls off a sedate pace, didn't pickup turning for home, weakened steadily final 200 M. (Lame right front leg.)
