1 9 RUGBY DIAMOND (S432) Z Purton CP-/H-/B1 Not the best to jump but soon took up running on rails, set a steady pace for narrow lead to straight before drawing clear under pressure upon straightening.
2 12 KING ON EARTH (CL251) H W Lai SR Began nicely from the one draw settling one back on rails just behind the eventual winner, failed to quicken to challenge after straightening.
3 3 SPEEDY WALLY (T002) O Doleuze CP- Sluggish early stages, trailed the field to straight, finished off race strongly near the centre of the track, did best work late over an apparently insufficient trip.
4 10 OPTIMISM (S150) J Moreira B/TT Began from the widest gate, soon obtained inside run towards the rear hugging the rails turning in, made modest headway under pressure but never threatening.
5 8 RAY OF GOLD (N443) C Schofield B Waited with, saved ground on inside turning in, fought on steadily to be nearest at finish.
6 2 DUTCH WINDMILL (T288) N Rawiller TT Jumped fairly, settled just worse than midfield on rails, saved ground on rails around home bend and into straight, kept on well to finish.
7 4 FOREVER FUN (S130) K K Chiong B/TT Jumped only fairly from a wide gate, worked his way up early in back straight to join the leaders 4-wide up the Rock, bumped and unbalanced for a stride when a 1L 2nd upon straightening, never recovered.
8 1 KING'S STEED (S051) D Whyte TT Moderate start, soon ridden to rear of midfield within 3L of pace, slightly lost position rounding home bend, one-paced under pressure in the run home.
9 11 FOTOGENIC (S114) K C Leung H/TT Raced wide in a prominent position, took closer order to share 2nd passing the 800 metres, dropped back to 3rd coming onto home bend, kept on under pressure before fading close to home.
10 6 CHANS DELIGHT (P420) O Bosson H/XB Began fairly and ridden along, steadied back to 4-wide in 6th down back straight, lost position turning in, no further impression thereafter.
11 7 HEAVENLY MASTERS (V006) M Chadwick CP-/B1/TT Jumped fairly, prominent to home bend, faded under pressure into straight. (Lame next day and blood in trachea)
12 5 NOBLE BUDDIES (T356) G Lerena B/XB2/TT Pressed on to race wide in rear of midfield, remained similar to home bend when coming under pressure, folded up quickly after straightening.
