1 11 CHATEAUNEUF (J219) K Teetan B/TT Smoothly away from draw 1, had a perfect run tracking leader on inside, quickened up nicely to take lead nearing 200M, continued on strongly final stages for a comfortable win.
2 10 SCOTCH TYCOON (G088) L Hewitson B/TT On jumping was bumped heavily by rival, soon improved to the lead taking them along at a steady pace, caught by winner nearing 200M, held on for 2nd despite weakening late.
3 2 WINGS OF WAR (H162) H Bentley B Given a patient ride, restrained behind midfield along the 3-path, wide on straightening, worked home well to take 3rd close home.
4 9 RIGHTEOUS ARION (H059) B Avdulla TT Dropped back on jumping from wide draw, settled near last 5-6Ls off leader, swung widest into straight before staying on well to take 4th in a photo finish.
5 6 GOLDEN EMPIRE (E490) C Y Ho B Away well, maintained a position behind midfield, kept on steadily final 300M but couldn't quicken enough to challenge leaders. Lost 4th in a photo finish.
6 5 SUPER JOY N FUN (J164) C L Chau XB/TT From draw 12 obtained a 3-wide spot in midfield, raced keenly middle stages, lay in in the home straight and finished off only fairly.
7 8 PARTERRE (E234) A Atzeni B Began well but soon restrained to a position ahead of midfield, fought on one paced in the straight and posed little threat to leaders.
8 1 REWARD SMILE (H256) H Bowman TT Not hurried after the jump, restrained in a rearward position along the inside, ran to the line only fairly under top weight. (Jockey - did not travel as strongly as it did last start.)
9 7 SOVEREIGN FUND (J402) K De Melo V Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, recovered to race in midfield along the fence, lacked a finishing response turning home, never a danger.
10 3 EQUATORIAL (J128) A Badel H/SR/TT Jumped very awkwardly and lost ground, raced as the back marker throughout, couldn't go on final 300M. Never in the picture.
11 12 SERGEANT PEPPER (E432) Y L Chung -- Jumped on terms, moved up to track leader, under pressure home turn, couldn't sustain run passing 250M, faded towards the line.
12 4 HAPPY FAT CAT (G166) E C W Wong CP/TT From draw 9 unable to slot in, chased leaders in a 3-wide spot without cover, gave ground from 250M, weakened to last.
