1 1 TOUR DE FORCE (N297) J Moreira B Jumped well, eased to sit 3-back from leader but away from fence. Turned 5-wide into straight, rolled forward, hit front 200m and pulled clear under hands and heels riding.
2 11 SMART MAN (P103) T Berry CP-/H/XB/B1/TT Jumped OK but snagged back from wide draw and clear last before home turn. Crept closer from 500m, wide into straight, finished off strongly.
3 4 DINING WORLD (P384) Z Purton B/TT Jumped with field but no early pace, drifting back to rear but away from fence. Straightened behind horses, had clear running passing 400m and ran on steadily.
4 9 FABULOUS NOVEMBER (N342) K Teetan CP Began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped, but quickly on the bit and travelled nicely to 700m when got head on side and lay out. Kept on in straight under hard riding.
5 10 GORGEOUS DEBUT (P369) D Whyte -- Quickly into stride to lead on settling, crossing to rail passing 900m but headed 700m, taking box seat. Urged forward top of straight, led passing 300m but running on empty final 100m.
6 7 ROCKET FLY (S112) U Rispoli H Began fairly, outpaced and soon at rear close to rail. Switched out passing 500m and ran on steadily without looking dangerous.
7 5 CAGA FORCE (S160) K C Leung -- Began well, hugging rail inside leading pair before settling in box seat before turn. Not much room top of straight but only one-paced when clear, fading final stages.
8 3 OUR FOLKS (P400) O Doleuze H/P1/TT Bumped after start, pressed forward and ran mostly wide thereafter. Looked a chance when rolled forward top of straight but run ended passing 200m.
9 2 SOLAR GREAT (M189) B Prebble -- Jumped fairly, no early pace, settling behind midfield close to fence. Stayed on fence turning for home but only one-paced in straight.
