1 1 AMBITIOUS DRAGON (CK399) D Whyte B Settled in midfield 3-wide, travelled strongly, picked up effortlessly and cruised past leader near 200M, drew clear beating a high class field with total authority.
2 5 XTENSION (CM097) J Lloyd H/XB Caught wide no cover early then strode forward to race outside leader, took over nearing 400M but couldn't match winner's acceleration mid straight, kept on well enough to hold 2nd.
3 2 CALIFORNIA MEMORY (CL135) M Chadwick -- Dropped back to the rear 6-7Ls off the steady pace, saved ground on the inside, last into straight and pulled widest to challenge, stayed on strongly from the rear.
4 6 THUMBS UP (CK005) B Prebble -- Held up in last 7Ls behind leader, turned 3-wide from 600M and crept closer to pace, ran on well final 400M.
5 9 SICHUAN SUCCESS (CL307) M Guyon TT Broke well, soon crossed to the fence, had cover behind leader from 1200M, kept on steadily final 400M but not pace to challenge first two, lost 2 places near finish.
6 12 LET ME HANDLE IT (CL287) O Doleuze TT- Travelled well in a rearward spot, found clear passage inside 300M, stayed on without reaching leaders but nevertheless a good effort considering the depth of the opponents.
7 10 MIGHTY HIGH (CL096) N Callan H Tracked leaders 3-wide under restraint, left with no cover from 1200M, driven along passing 500M, kept on one paced.
8 7 FLYING BLUE (CL389) T Angland -- Up with early pace, became difficult to settle after being crossed 1400M, 3Ls back in midfield turning for home, held up behind horses to 250M but didn't find much when clear.
9 3 ABLE ONE (CG108) D Beadman H Not far off from the pace, well covered, travelled smoothly but found disappointingly little off the bridle, faded inside 100M.
10 4 IRIAN (CL187) G Mosse H Towards the rear and was 4-wide without cover for most of the trip, didn't show his usual turn of foot when put to pressure passing 400M. Ran well below par.
11 8 DESTINED FOR GLORY (CM207) T Clark H/XB/TT Settled in midfield, kept on same pace final 400M, no impression on leaders. (Blood in trachea.)
12 14 OUTDOOR PEGASUS (CL173) B Doyle TT Reserved in a rearward position, not quickened passing 400M, never a factor.
13 11 SIGHT WINNER (CJ049) M Du Plessis -- Driven forward, led steadily, faded nearing 300M, soundly beaten.
14 13 HANDSOME ZULU (CM024) T H So B Slow to muster, raced behind midfield along the inside, not quickened passing 400M, soon left behind.
