1 1 EXULTANT (B101) Z Purton XB/TT Tracked leader, took over nearing 500M, kicked clear on straightening, kept on gamely late stages to hold 2nd and 3rd at bay.
2 5 CHEFANO (C297) M Chadwick CP Settled down in 3rd, moved out to a 3-wide position without cover from 1100M, nudged along home turn, made a sustained run in the straight, held by the much higher rated winner. (Jockey questioned riding tactics.)
3 2 FURORE (C079) K Teetan B/TT Settled down 4th of 7, moved closer to leaders entering home turn, tried hard in the straight but couldn't reel in the winner, just missed 2nd.
4 7 SAVVY NINE (D056) J Moreira TT Held up towards rear, driven out 550M, ran on fairly final 400M, not reached first 3.
5 6 HELENE CHARISMA (A129) A Hamelin B/TT Held up behind midfield, 5th of 7, couldn't quicken in the straight, soon out of contention.
6 4 EAGLE WAY (A093) V Borges B/TT Dropped back to race in last, came under pressure 600M, never in the picture. (Lame next day.)
7 3 TIME WARP (A066) C Schofield TT Led at good pace early stages, pressed by rival 600M, weakened out of the race from 400M, finished tailed out.
