1 4 NEW GLORY (CK304) O Doleuze XB/B2 Broke well, tracked leaders, strongly challenged inside 300M, dug deep under pressure final stages and picked off the long time leader right on the line.
2 11 LUCKY TURBO (M231) D Beadman TT Soon led, set steady pace, continued on well and kicked nicely clear inside 200M, faded final stages and was caught last stride.
3 1 BEST WIN (CL212) G Mosse H Dropped back to near last along the fence, stayed on well down the inside final 300M, nearest finish. (Jockey reported his horse laid out during the race and was somewhat a difficult ride)
4 9 XILAI XIANZI (N088) M Chadwick TT Settled nicely along the fence in mid-division, took time to engage top gear, did best work final stages, nearest finish.
5 6 GLENEALY STAR (CH284) T Angland -- Went forward and raced outside the lead, not pace to seriously challenge in straight, kept on to 100M then weakened.
6 7 AEROSA (M308) D Whyte CP Close up behind leading pair, found less than expected in the finish, no impression on leaders.
7 12 INTELLECTUALSTRIDE (CL409) Y T Cheng H/SR Towards the rear, didn't have the clearest of runs mid-straight, stayed on without threatening.
8 3 FOREVER ELATION (CK215) M Guyon B Checked at the start, ended up towards the rear 5Ls behind leader, driven nearing 400M, stayed on but was never a serious threat.
9 8 MONEYMAKER (M244) M Barzalona -- In mid-division never far off from leaders, found disappointingly little in the finish, one-paced over final 200M.
10 10 SUPER GOODIES (M116) B Prebble XB Began awkwardly and lost ground, ended up in last 7Ls off the pace, hung out making final turn, made limited progress final 300M. (Lame next day.)
11 2 SHAHJEE (M151) N Callan B Slotted into a 3-wide position just behind leading pair but left with no cover from 600M, not picked up when driven, weakened 200M.
12 5 SUPER BRAND (M155) K C Leung H/TT Raced 3-wide in mid-division, lost touch passing 300M, eased.
