1 1 GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) M Chadwick -- Soon led by 1L on fence. Same margin clear through to last turn. Never seriously challenged and won with some comfort.
2 2 ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) T H So B/TT Quickly into stride but was caught 3-wide. Parked one-out- one-back from 900 M. Dashed strongly in the straight but the winner had enough to hold on.
3 6 HIGH RETURN (CK164) O Doleuze B Dropped back from high draw. Stayed 3-wide towards rear middle stages. Swung widest and was 6Ls down on straightening. Made substantial headway and was nearest at finish.
4 4 FLYING CHINA (CK266) W C Marwing B Hard ridden after start. Settled 3-wide behind midfield from 800 M. Forced wider and was 4Ls away turning in. Covered good ground to make frame.
5 10 RUGBY HEAVEN (L086) J Lloyd B Raced within 3Ls of the pace on fence through to the home straight. Ideal spot to attack but kept one-paced.
6 3 NATURAL FLAME (CK016) D Beadman B/TT Away in line from high draw. Taken to race 4-wide at rear first turn. Found the fence approaching the Rock. Took inside run and was 6Ls off into final stretch. Progressed moderately.
7 8 MEGABUCKS (CJ301) B Doyle -- Began awkwardly. Driven to take prominent spot before first turn. Well positioned to strike in the home straight but couldn't turn up a notch.
8 11 FAST GO (CJ181) D Whyte B/TT Slow to begin. Pressured along the fence and took a spot behind midfield from 900 M. 4Ls adrift rounding the turn but never improved from there. (Lame right fore.)
9 5 VALUE CHOICE (CG213) Z Purton B Moderate jump and was caught wide. Shaken up and slotted into a 2-wide position at midfield passing 900 M. 3Ls behind the leader leaving the bend. Found little when asked.
10 12 WOODSTOCK (L105) S K Sit B 2-wide on leader's back through to home turn. Urged from 450 M but got no extra.
11 7 LUCKY AMICI (CK177) J Victoire XB/TT 3-wide ahead of midfield early and was gradually eased to 2-wide behind midfield. Failed to make any impact thereafter.
12 9 EXPLODING (CH046) G Cheyne XB/H Well enough away but was caught wide. Taken towards rear from 1000 M. Never recovered.
