1 2 THE BOOM BOX (K076) C Y Ho -- Settled in mid-division 3-wide, commenced his challenge 400M, closed off strongly making up a stack of ground in the run home to get up near line.
2 7 KING LOTUS (K186) L Hewitson -- From wide draw pressed forward, crossed to a 2-wide spot just off leader 1200M, fought on well in the straight, briefly led 100M before overpowered late by winner.
3 12 MIGHTY STEED (J384) H Doyle CP From draw 12 made some early use to find the lead, slowed down the pace in middle stages, narrow leader on straightening, toughed it out well only headed by first two final stages.
4 4 STORMING DRAGON (J237) J McDonald V/TT Out with the line, restrained to race just behind midfield, stuck on well final 300M to claim 4th.

8 3 A AMERIC TE SPECSO (H037) A Atzeni B Jumped only fairly, switched off to race in last 7Ls off leader, made some progress down the outside although never a winning hope. (Jockey - disadvantaged by the slow pace in the middle stages.)
