1 12 LE ZONDA (L110) C Y Ho TT Settled down in second half of the field, wide no cover from 700M, widest straightening with some work to do but came with a barnstorming run to get up close home.
2 3 SAGACIOUS LIFE (K507) J Orman B1/TT Chased the pace along the 2-path, wound up strongly to join leader at the 100m but couldn't hold off winner final stages. Game in defeat.
3 4 HELENE FEELING (H215) E C W Wong B/TT Caught wide early stages before continuing forward to lead the event, maintained narrow lead in the straight, fought hard but was caught by first two late stages.
4 9 CALIFORNIATOTALITY (H418) L Ferraris B/TT From draw 3 raced just behind leaders throughout, fought hard to stay in contention from 300M, couldn't accelerate enough final 150M and made no further impression.
5 2 MASSIVE SOVEREIGN (J208) C L Chau CP2 Reserved near last 8Ls off the pace, had the task in hand 400M, brought wide into straight, came from a long way back and made solid inroads to finish 5th.
6 6 PACKING ANGEL (J454) K Teetan XB Jumped cleanly, settled midfield 6th 4-5Ls off leader, could not improve turning for home and battled on fairly for minor money.
7 1 SPEED DRAGON (H380) L Hewitson B Given a quiet ride from draw 1, dropped back towards the rear along the inside, responded initially in early straight but couldn't sustain run final stages.
8 11 ARMOR GOLDEN EAGLE (K566) A Atzeni B Held a forward position outside leader, right there turning for home but peaked on his run mid-straight and failed to finish the job.
9 7 SILVERY BREEZE (K057) Z Purton CP/TT From draw 12 shifted behind runners, settled at the back of the field 8-9Ls off pace in the first half of the race, ran on only fairly through final 300M. (No Vet findings.)
10 10 AWESOME FLUKE (J050) B Avdulla P-/B1/TT Failed to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position and settled behind midfield 6Ls off leader, had some work to do 400M but failed to come into the race.
11 8 MAX QUE (J514) A Badel TT Close up behind leaders early stages before drifting back to midfield, came under pressure on the home turn and failed to finish off. (Trainer couldn't offer explanation for the disappointing run.)
