1 1 IT HAS TO BE YOU (N356) W Pike -- Pressed forward however unable to slot in and travelled 3 wide albeit with cover, made bid turning, kept to task to outlast rivals in what was a tough effort with weight.
2 3 STRATHTAY (N235) Z Purton SR Drifted back from a tricky gate, positioned 7Ls back on rails at rear, difficult to settle in mid-section, not clearest passage until 200m, finish off well to not miss by much.
3 2 FLYING SMART (M117) M L Yeung CP Began well, pressed on and did some work to eventually take over by turn, not given much peace in front, kept to task well in straight losing advantage final 100m.
4 9 FOREVER ELATION (CK215) T Angland B Out with them, unable to slot in and posted 3 and 4 wide without cover, improved to be midfield and wide rounding bend, kept on gamely given workload to just miss a place late.
5 10 FRESH AIR (CL206) K C Leung H Began ok, taken back from an outside alley, raced behind midfield 6Ls back, angled wider and improved on bend, stayed on well behind them to be closest at finish.
6 11 CULTURAL CITY (N263) T Clark B1 Jumped ok, enjoyed a nice run 1 out 1 back, 2Ls back to turn, not a great deal of room in straight but stayed on well for a reasonable debut.
7 4 OPEN SESAME (CL091) M Chadwick TT Assumed a midfield role in running line 4Ls away, fair run throughout, improved wider turning to make a bid, peaked final 100M.
8 6 HOLLYWOOD KISS (M126) B Prebble XB Drifted back from a tricky alley to race 2 and 3 wide at rear 6Ls or so back, came widest turning, made good progress in straight to be nearest on line.
9 8 ULTIMATE WINNERS (CL428) M Zahra B/TT Showed enough speed to hold spot behind leader, 3Ls back on rails by bend, took inside runs but didn't see out extra journey late.
10 14 COMMON GOAL (M167) H W Lai B Tardy into stride, raced on rails in midfield 4ls back, quite time to turn, in traffic turning but didn't find extra gear and just stayed on behind them.
11 13 SHARE OF GOLD (CL295) M Du Plessis B Pushed on in search of prominent spot, trapped 3 wide without cover and worked on bend, up there challenging at 400m, faded final 200m when hard run took toll.
12 7 SUNNY FAY (M119) J McDonald H/XB/TT Restrained from a wide alley, settled 5-6Ls back on rails, weaved between horses improving turning, not clearest passage but just offered one speed all the same.
13 5 GLENEALY STAR (CH284) K C Ng -- Showed speed to take up running, handed up top spot on bend, two wide to challenge turning, folded at 200m.
14 12 TIPPERARY DAVOR (N301) C K Tong -- Settled 3 wide at rear from an awkward draw, under pressure a long way out and never factored.
