1 1 BERLINI (P359) G Mosse H Caught wide in midfield early stages, strolled to the lead passing 1000M and injected some pace to the race, had 2Ls lead leaving 400M, kept on well to the line and always maintaining the advantage.
2 11 THE SHOW (T256) D Whyte -- Caught wide early stages from draw 12, improved to a 2-wide spot chasing leader 1000M, had 2Ls to make up on winner leaving 400M, kept on under pressure but unable to bridge the gap.
3 7 RED DANCER (P264) M L Yeung P/TT Slow to begin, settled in midfield 4-5Ls off the pace, kept on steadily inside 400M, got up for 3rd 100M out but was well held by first two.
4 5 CLASSIC EMPEROR (T193) B Prebble H Never far off the pace, 3Ls back in 5th making the turn, advanced to 3rd 300M, kept on without threatening the runaway winner, beaten to 4th late stages.
5 9 LUCKY GUY (T349) C Schofield B/SR Held up 2-wide in mid-division, lacked a strong turn of foot leaving 400M, stayed on moderately for non-threatening 5th.
6 2 WINNAM (P119) Z Purton B/TT Dropped back to near the rear, 8Ls off the pace middle stages, held up for clear running early straight, fastest finish over final 300M, belated gain.

9 13 MAGNETISM (V114) K Teetan -- Took keen hold behind mid-division, swung 3-wide for home, gave limited response only entering straight, never threatened.
10 8 BEAUTY PRINCE (T411) J Moreira H/SR In mid-division, overraced badly in early and middle stages, 3-wide without cover from 1000M, couldn't finish off in straight. (Jockey : defeat attributable to racing manner / No Vet finings.)
