1 6 KARMA (G392) B Shinn TT Settled well behind and waited with after beginning from a poor draw, baulked for a run early in straight, responded well inside final 200 metres to snatch victory near the line.
2 7 VOYAGE SAMURAI (J026) K C Leung -- Amongst leaders early before taken back to 3rd on rails just off the pace, ran on under pressure inside final 250 metres to hit the front 100 metres out but only to be caught close to home.
3 10 POWERFUL WINGS (G225) A Hamelin CP1 Prominent from a poor draw looking for cover, settled in 7th some 5L back without cover shortly after, further away from the pace into home straight, ran on inside final 250 metres to be nearest at finish despite laying in.
4 8 HELENE WARRIOR (J207) L Hewitson XB1/TT Held up in midfield on rails, gradually pulled his way forward to 5th about 4L off the pace, angled out for a run over 500 metres out and ran on under pressure to hold some chance briefly over 100 metres out.
5 3 STAR MAC (J053) K Teetan B-/CP2 Sluggish at start before picking up to 9th and then 8th over 1000 metres out, saved ground on rails turning in for home, made good progress under pressure in the run to the line.
6 2 FRANTANCK (H429) Y L Chung -- Began well from the widest draw to soon take up running off the rails, obtained rails run over 1000 metres out kicking some 2L clear rounding home bend, unable to sustain effort inside final 150 metres.
7 4 UNIVERSAL HORIZON (G360) C Y Ho B Never better than midfield, tightened between runners about 300 metres out, made no further impression.
8 1 STUNNING PEACH (J301) Z Purton TT1 Restrained in midfield in 6th, found nothing in straight.
9 11 FOOLISH HEART (J054) A Atzeni V Niggled along in 2nd, faded under pressure shortly after straightening.
10 9 KA YING SUPERB (J091) M Chadwick H/P/TT- Jumped awkwardly losing ground, soon detached from the main body of the field, never seen with a chance.
11 5 BEAUTY LIVE (G057) B Avdulla CP2/TT Ridden to first few about 2L off the pace, weakened noticeably after straightening.
