1 4 FAY FAY (CL284) D Whyte -- Began nicely, slotted into 1 out 1 back spot, ideal trail with steady tempo, always travelling and let down strongly in straight, drawing away final 200m for a convincing win.
2 3 DRAGON FIGHTER (CL260) M L Yeung -- First into stride, went on to lead, pressured and gave up advantage at top turn, came outside leader soon after, suited to bend, fought on to 200m but found winner too smart.
3 12 BEST CITY (M290) O Doleuze -- Angled into a midfield role 3-4Ls off lead, followed eventual winner to bend, produced for an effort at 400m and tried hard just could get closer last 150m.
4 6 KING OF SCOTS (CK084) C Y Ho -- Drifted well back to settle at rear, best part of 8ls back at rear, came widest into straight and reeled off slick closing sectional to make frame.
5 7 KYARA (CL423) D Beadman H/XB Average beginning, mustered to race in midfield 3-4Ls back, travelled strongly to turn, in traffic and checked at 350m, clear thereafter but unable to produce usual close and just held ground.
6 10 EASY WINNER (CL138) K C Leung B Settled just off midfield, 5-6Ls back in running line, fair run in mid section, closed reasonably in straight but run ended at 200m.
7 1 HOT SHOT (CL289) M Du Plessis TT Out well, pressed on and eventually took over at top turn, controlled tempo to suit, headed at 400m and unable to respond, struggled to keep touch and faded.
8 2 SEMOS (M125) T Angland B No Early speed, raced 3 wide at rear 7Ls back, pace not to suit, made run from well back turning, made some progress without looking likely.
9 14 LIBERATOR (CL240) T Clark B/H/TT Standard jump, settled behind midfield on rails, easy trip to bend, made some minor headway along inside but never really threatened.
10 5 PACKING TYCOON (N010) G Mosse TT Went forward, positioned well just behind speed on rails, right there turning, no turn of foot and dropped off final 300m.
11 9 KING OF REASON (M154) R Moore H Went forward from outside alley, posted 3 wide without cover, working hard 3-4Ls back turning, soon in trouble and dropped off when emptied.
12 13 HORACE'S EMPIRE (N002) M Guyon -- No early pace, positioned 3 wide behind midfield, 6Ls back in run, had cover to turn, little response in straight.
13 8 NEW GREENFIELD (M282) M Barzalona XB Went back from a wide gate, 6-7Ls back at rear in two wide line, still well back turning, struggled in the run home.
14 11 RICH TAPESTRY (N011) J Lloyd B/SR1 Out in line, posted 4 wide without cover behind midfield, 5Ls or so back, hard run to bend, faded out soon after straightening.
