1 12 SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) H W Lai -- 7Ls off pace in rear passing winning post for first time, 5Ls back but 6-wide (widest of all) heading for home stretch, ran on strongly (hung in a little) out widest of all to lead close home.
2 4 SUNDAY DELIGHT (CC225) E Saint-Martin -- On fence 4Ls behind leader in 5th with 1400 M to race, same margin behind in 6th turning for home. Ran on determinedly in straight only to be outpaced by the winner close home.
3 3 BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) G Schofield SR-/B2 On fence 6Ls off the pace in 8th early on, 5Ls down in 9th turning for home, awkwardly placed with 250 M to race but still ran on well to gain a place late in a very tight finish.
4 10 SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) Y T Cheng B Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd through to the 600 M, under pressure to quicken up entering homestretch, disputing 2nd a neck off pace at 200 M just lost out on a placing in a tight finish close home.
5 5 NATURAL ECHO (CB326) C Soumillon B Always 3-wide no cover, 5Ls back in 6th passing winning post first time, steadily improved to 2Ls down in 5th entering home straight out 5-deep, a neck back at 200 M, narrowly missed out on a placing final strides.
6 6 SNIPER (CD110) C Brown B 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 2nd from 1600 M to 600 M out, 1L down in 2nd at the 400 M, led 300 M out, headed about 150 M out, lost a place inside final 50 M.
6 8 ONE EYE JACK (CD393) O Doleuze B 3Ls off speed in 4th 2-wide from 1400 M to 600 M, ridden along 2Ls down in 4th into homestretch, every chance when 1L down in 4th at 200 M, failed to find an extra gear.
8 11 NOBLE BOSS (CD360) C Munce TT 7Ls back in 10th passing winning post for first time, 6Ls last on the swing for home, made some fair late ground, never nearer.
9 2 KIDDY SING (CD005) D Whyte -- Awkward break, always 2-wide and worse than midfield about 5Ls or 6Ls behind pacesetter until final bend, always outpaced by leading group.
10 1 CHALLENGER (CE138) B Prebble B/TT Raced too freely when 5Ls off the speed in 7th about 1500 M out, 4Ls down in 7th on turning for home, faded out steadily.
11 7 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) S K Sit -- Set very slow tempo leading by about 2Ls on fence from 1800 M to 600 M, headed at top of home straight, swamped 200 M out, very weak.
