2 5 YUE LU TREASURE (CJ184) C W Wong -- Settled behind midfield racing two deep, pushed into the clear 3 wide at the 400m, assumed second inside final 200m and just held off fast finish of Real Generous.
3 14 REAL GENEROUS (M193) M Du Plessis B/H/TT Taken back to last nearly 15 lengths off the leader, raced 3 wide at rear, gradually improved cornered on bend widest out, really let down well to finish up best of all and unlucky not to be closer.
4 1 ATHENIUM (CK197) G Mosse CP Settled 4ls back along the fence, tracked a fast speed throughout, straightened three deep, moved to second at the 200m, looked a place chance but was swamped 50m out.
5 3 ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) M Chadwick CP Positioned a bit closer in midfield 6Ls off lead in two wide line, aided by speed on, rounded the final bend six wide and made steady ground late without threatening.
6 13 BURGUNDY MAC (M205) T Clark SR Positioned in rear division 10Ls back in running line, had a fair run and helped by speed on, gradually improved rounding bend, made good progress but was a little short of a run final 100m.

8 2 PERFECT CHEERS (M341) Z Purton B/TT Drifted back from a tricky alley more than 12Ls off lead, always well back but aided by tempo, came wider turning and made some decent progress to be nearest on line.
9 12 NORTH HILL (CJ082) U Rispoli -- Restrained from a wide alley, best part of 10Ls back on fence, helped by fast speed, had job to do turning and made some minor ground without ever looking likely.
