1 7 FLYING GENIUS (D071) R Moore TT Strode forward before getting nice run on leaders back. Assumed lead inside the 150m before dashing away to score impressively.
2 11 HAPPY GOOD GUYS (B466) Y Kawada B Not fast away but mustered quickly to improve to midfield on rail. Around 3 lengths from lead entering the final section before finishing off strongly in last 300m to snare second placing in final stride.
3 2 G UNIT (C329) K Teetan -- Improved after the start before getting good position behind leading pair away from the inside. Within two lengths of lead on cornering before maintaining similar margin in run to line.
4 12 PRAWN YEAH YEAH (B381) C Y Ho B/TT Allowed to shift across behind runners to race worse than midfield away from rail. Made gradual headway in final 300m to be close behind second.
5 4 VERY SWEET ORANGE (A300) S De Sousa V Showed customary early speed to be prominent & raced outside leader after 300m. Moved up to share lead at the 450m, before assuming lead at the 300m. Joined and headed at the 150m before yielding a length late.
6 10 OVERSUBSCRIBED (C361) O Murphy H/XB1 Steadied after start & shifted across behind runners to race at the tail. Was a clear last on cornering, before finishing strongly in the straight to finish within a length of second.
7 8 GOOD VIEW CLARICO (C454) J McDonald XB Strode to midfield, wide on the track before drifting back, just worse than midfield. Hard ridden upon entering the final section before finishing off relatively well considering wide trip.
8 1 EVERBRAVE (A364) P-C Boudot -- Strode to midfield but raced a little wide in middle stages. Hard ridden passing the 400m before finishing off only fairly to finish in midfield.
9 6 EPTIWINS (B362) Z Purton XB/CP1 Shifted behind runners after the start and settled third from last away from rail. Continued third from last entering the straight & failed to make any impression in the run to the line.
10 5 DR PROACTIVE (A345) C Keane -- Held the rail in midfield early before drifting back slightly after first 400m. Steadied and lost some momentum passing the 400m & never made any real headway thereafter.
11 9 NUNCHUKS (C357) L Dettori TT1 Slow to begin and raced near the tail on the fence. Second from last on cornering & made no real impression after straightening & was well beaten.
