1 4 HELENE SUPER STAR (S152) D Whyte CP1/TT Allowed to slide forward at own pace, holding rail three-back from leader. Stayed on rail until final turn when switched out for clear run. Hit front 300m out and kept finding under pressure for narrow win.
2 2 DOMINANT (N169) T Berry H/TT Began OK, not pushed and allowed to settle towards the rear in a one-off position. Bumped and unbalanced final turn, switched out for clear running and ran on strongly to just miss out.
3 6 HELENE HAPPY STAR (T104) J Moreira H/XB Ridden early to stay with pacemakers, settling 3rd about 2L from leader. Took closer order turning for home, got clear run top of straight, finished off strongly.
4 1 BLAZING SPEED (P192) N Callan TT Not pushed early, settling three-back, one-off. Not asked for an after until straightening for home when made ground gradually to be closest at the finish.
5 3 HARBOUR MASTER (S145) G Mosse SR Shifted across behind runners shortly after the start and clear last on settling. Still last entering straight but found inside runs and finished off strongly.
6 8 MR GNOCCHI (P080) N Rawiller B/TT Bumped start, no speed, settling at rear along the rail. Hampered and unbalanced passing 1600m, shaken up final turn, kept on fairly in straight without looking dangerous.
7 5 KHAYA (P289) K Teetan E/P/TT Began well, ridden along outside leader before settling 2L behind but away from fence. Urged forward turning for home, led soon after straightening before running out of condition and fading.
8 7 SAME WORLD (N098) K C Leung H/SR Pressed forward to lead on settling, set slow sections to straight when tired quickly and finished tailed off. Stewards said performance unacceptable.
