1 6 SACRED KINGDOM (CG268) G Mosse TT Broke well, sat 1 to 2Ls off them towards stand side. Shared lead at midpoint, took over at 300 M, had them beaten by 100 M and eased down to score a comfortable win.
2 13 FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) G Boss -- Even jump, ended up in midfield 3Ls back towards middle, progressed between horses at 300 M, closed off nicely but not in same league as winner.
3 4 PLANET RULER (CB359) O Doleuze B Raced amongst pack 3 to 4Ls back close to outsider rail, urged along at midpoint, did best work late finishing well for nice 3rd.
4 5 NATURAL BLITZ (CE227) F Coetzee TT Showed customary pace to share lead, kept solid pace on throughout, tackled at 300 M, couldn't dash again but kept on evenly to make frame.
5 8 ROYAL DELIGHT (CG192) Z Purton B1/TT- Away nicely, raced 1 to 2Ls off leader in centre of course without cover, didn't have enough dash to go with them at 200 M but stuck to task well nevertheless.
6 1 SCINTILLATION (CC228) E Saint-Martin XB/H Began well, raced 2Ls back alongside eventual winner, into clear at 300 M but lacked usual turn of foot and just held ground over concluding stages.
7 3 ABLE PRINCE (CC348) M Nunes B/TT Away fairly, raced solo along inside rail, not far away throughout, couldn't match outside horses late and never really threatened on what was the slower side of the track.
8 14 SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) Y T Cheng CP Began with promise, raced 1 to 2Ls back on outside rail, close enough at midpoint, didn't go on with it at business end and just kept same speed in finish.
9 12 COUNTRY MUSIC (CD035) K L Chui XB/TT Out nicely, raced 1L back closer to outside rail, niggled at midpoint, kept on evenly before checked at 200 M, not a factor thereafter.
10 10 EXPECTATIONS (CD078) H W Lai -- Poor break, settled at rear on outside, urged along 6Ls back at midpoint, passed only beaten runners late.
11 2 SUNNY SING (CE135) D Beadman TT Moderate jump, raced towards rear 5Ls off pace, in behind horses to 250 M, closed without purpose when clear last furlong.
12 11 SILVER SUN (CE126) W M Lai -- No pace from outset, always struggling 7Ls back in last place, never got into it and finished back with tailenders.
13 9 ADAIKALI (CE181) A Delpech CP First to hit ground, shared lead on outside rail, began to struggle at midpoint, lacked usual finish and weakened badly last 300 M.
14 7 FLAMING LAMBORGINI (CE146) S K Sit TT Not best away, soon at rear, struggled to keep up, found nothing under pressure and weakened out late.
