1 6 GENKI KING (CD309) F Coetzee TT Broke well, showed good speed to challenge for early lead, held lead narrowly on outside, rolled along at good pace, took charge at 200 M and kept going to score an easy win.
2 5 DASHING WINNER (CA018) G Schofield SR/CO Jumped with them, restrained to sit just off speed, held spot 2 wide 3 to 4Ls away, had good run to turn, obtained split at 300 M and chased strongly but unable to match winner.

5 9 TOP HONOR (CE183) C Brown -- Average to begin, hard ridden to maintain position just worse than midfield, raced on rails 6 to 7Ls away in middle stages, made run between horses in straight closing strongly late to be closest at finish.
6 10 PROFIT HILL (CE274) O Doleuze -- Began with them, pushed along to hold position just behind leaders on rail 1L away, had run of race to turn, angled clear in straight but lacked another gear to figure and could only hold ground to line.

11 4 PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) C Munce -- Jumped with them from outside alley, unable to cross and drifted back to midfield, 3 and 4 wide without cover throughout, always working, wide run took toll and plugged to line.
