1 1 BEAUTY FLASH (CK314) C Soumillon TT Overcame a wide draw with ease and had an uncontested lead, quickened impressively and kicked 3Ls clear passing 300M, kept on strongly to the line and was never challenged.
2 5 CHATER WAY (CL093) D Whyte B1 Held up in midfield and travelled well throughout, swung 3-wide into straight and quickened to 2nd just before 200M, all out but made no impression on the runaway winner.
3 2 TUSCAN SPIRIT (CK055) C Williams -- Well enough away then grabbed a spot on the fence and travelled 3Ls back in 5th, came through a narrow passage near 200M to go 3rd and proved well suited by this step up in trip.
4 4 SUPER PISTACHIO (CL099) F Coetzee TT Travelled 2-wide in midfield and well covered, took time to muster in straight and picked up well final 200M to take 4th just before the line.
5 6 ABLE SPEED (CK210) G Mosse B-/TT Placed handily just off leader, stayed on final 300M but couldn't find extra to seriously challenge.
6 12 AMIGO (CK358) J Lloyd -- Dropped back to last after the start, came out wide into the straight and progressed steadily inside 400M for a non-threatening 6th.
7 8 STRAIGHT FORWARD (CL100) M Chadwick TT Never far off in 4th, driven but made little progress inside 300M, just stayed on.
8 11 ALGARVE (CK239) B Prebble -- Patiently held up towards the rear, 6Ls down turning into straight and found less than expected in the finish. Never dangerous.
9 7 BEAUTY LEGEND (CL143) Z Purton -- Placed 3-wide in mid-division and left with no cover approaching the turn, had his chance in straight but could find no extra inside 100M.
10 13 CERISE CHERRY (CL141) W C Marwing CP-/SR1 Settled 3-wide behind midfield and raced without cover down the back straight, stayed on fairly once in line for home but offered no threat despite being steadied near 100M.
11 3 WHITE JADE (CK131) D Beadman CP/XB/H Tracked leader one out one back but was a little keen, outpaced near 200M and dropped right away.
12 9 APPRECIATION (CK161) O Doleuze V/TT Along the fence in mid-division, ridden along 400M but lacked pace and never got into it.
13 14 MOONWALK (CL083) W Pike -- Switched off the back 7-8Ls off the pace, fanned 3-wide into straight then found very little under pressure. No impression.
14 10 CHEERFUL DELIGHTS (CL184) H W Lai B Slow to begin and raced towards the rear 6-7Ls off the leader, no pace to challenge turning into straight, left behind passing 200M. Never a factor.
