1 7 EASY GOLD (CL431) O Doleuze SR Niggled at early, settled just off the speed on rails, just 2Ls off the leader of the main group far side, quickened to challenge upon straightening, hit the front 100 M out, won well.
2 10 MEGA CASTLE (CL333) Z Purton B Soon came in from a wide draw to settle in close up position, led the main group when lone leader broke 4Ls away far side, took lead from tiring pacesetter upon straightening, unable to sustain effort and caught 100M out.
3 2 WINNING MASCOT (CL342) K C Ng B- Began fairly travelling wide without cover in midfield early stages, strode forward to travel just off the leader of the main group, still close up turning into straight, ran home at the one pace.
4 4 SPEED RACER (CK207) C K Tong B Jostled at start, soon settled towards the rear, saved ground on inside turning for home, ran home steadily without threatening.
5 1 ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) G Mosse B/TT Jumped awkwardly losing ground, reluctant to stride out early stages travelling well behind as a consequence, saved ground on rails turning in, fought on steadily without threatening.
6 3 AMAZING VENTURE (CJ039) D Whyte TT Began restrained, travelled well behind, switched wide into straight to only run past well-beaten horses.
7 8 GRANDWAY FLYER (CK302) B Prebble B/H Began from the one draw with others, settled in forward of midfield of main group far side, came under pressure to challenge turning in, awkwardly placed behind runner and had to be straightened 200 M out, no extra.

9 9 SONOFTHEWEST (CL063) M Du Plessis TT Soon taken back to race in last few, given reminders around the bend, made no impression in the run home. (Tactic questioned.)
10 11 DESCARTES (CK293) M L Yeung B Soon took up running, kicked over 4L clear far side, came back to the field rounding home bend, tired noticeably and compounded badly upon straightening.
11 6 METRO RIDER (CJ264) B Doyle H/XB Began with others, settled just worse than midfield, wide into straight, found nothing under pressure.
12 5 TRAVEL PRINCE (CL243) K C Leung B Began with others, soon taken back to race in mid-division of main group, remained similar into straight, soon faded. (Irregular heart rhythm.)
