1 5 REGENCY LEGEND (B348) Z Purton TT Travelled smoothly in midfield, about 4Ls to make up on leader leaving the turn, quickened up impressively and hit the line nearing 50M, won going away. (Blood in trachea.)
2 11 COUNTRY STAR (B396) J Moreira -- Went forward, established clear lead before the turn, harassed by rival 600M, kept on well and kicked away mid-straight but no chance with impressive winner final 100M.
3 7 MISSION TYCOON (B224) G van Niekerk B/TT From draw 1 scrubbed along after the start, chased leaders along the rail, stayed on moderately passing 400M, no match with first 2.
4 8 MR GENUINE (S253) M F Poon CP Jumped on terms and settled midfield in 6th, 4Ls to make up 400M, kept on steadily but not pace to challenge leaders.
5 3 NEW ASIA SUNRISE (T268) S De Sousa -- Settled 2-wide in the group chasing leaders, just battled away in the straight, out of contention passing 200M.
6 1 CALIFORNIA FORTUNE (A415) A Sanna B/TT Pressed forward to be chasing the pace in 2nd, moved up to be alongside leader 600M, tried to stay on early straight, no extra and weakened final 150M.
7 2 LIMITLESS (A115) C Y Ho B/H Restrained after the jump, ended up in last, raced keenly early stages and again from 600M, stayed on fairly in the straight passing tired runners only.
8 6 HINCHINLOVE (C001) A Badel TT Settled worse than midfield about 6Ls off the pace, couldn't make any headway in the straight, never involved.
9 9 SUMMER PASSAGE (B273) D Whyte B Held up behind midfield, taken keen hold middle stages, couldn't quicken passing 400M, no impression. (Jockey : uncomfortable action, lay out badly making the turn.)
10 4 KING OF HEARTS (C145) K Teetan TT Crowded for room on jumping, went back to the rear, 10th on turn, never got going leaving the bend.
11 10 LEAN PERFECTION (B040) U Rispoli -- Restrained to race near the rear, bumped 600M and forced wide, couldn't go on and eased down in straight. Unacceptable performance. (Jockey : unbalanced when bumped 600M, didn't respond to riding after.)
