1 2 REAL SPECIALIST (CM143) T Angland -- Never far off in 4th, travelled strongly and accelerated to the lead inside 250M, continued on well to the line and was always maintaining his advantage.
2 6 PRESIDENT LINCOLN (N267) Z Purton TT Chased leader, had every chance turning in, not pace of winner inside 250M but kept on well enough to hold 2nd.
3 13 VICTORY MASTER (CM148) T Clark -- In midfield along the inside, kept on steadily final 400M but not going the pace to challenge first two.
4 11 JUN GONG (N325) M Zahra B1 From wide barrier slotted into a 3-wide spot in midfield, held up early straight, switched wide and closed off willingly, nearest finish.
5 10 FLEET COMMAND (CK077) T H So B Held up 3-wide near the rear, difficult to settle and shifted to 4-wide without cover 800M, steady progress from 500M, briefly went 3rd 100M out, faded late and lost 2 placings.
6 4 WAH MAY STAR (CM254) D Whyte -- Tracked leaders in 3rd, found disappointingly little inside 350M, out of contention 200M.
7 9 WINNING EDGE (CL297) O Doleuze SR Towards the rear and not helped by the slackening pace in middle stages, pulled wide to challenge passing 400M, stayed on only fairly.
8 5 MASQUERADER (N234) W Pike B/TT Settled 2-wide behind midfield, not helped by the slackening pace over the turn, no clear run early straight but made only limited progress when clear.
9 3 MAJESTIC FALCON (CM236) B Prebble H/XB Held up in last pair, turned 3-wide 700M and moved closer to pace, hung in over final 400M and proved very difficult to ride, no threat to leaders passing 200M.
10 1 NEW VISION (CM028) M Du Plessis B/TT Raced freely down the back straight, not able to cross, hung out making the turn and left with no cover, found little in the drive home, weakened 200M out.
11 8 REGENCY KING (N040) M Chadwick H1/TT1 Driven forward and crossed to the lead near 900M, slowed things down over the turn, headed near 250M, weakened away.
12 7 NOBLE BOY (CM206) K C Leung -- Towards the rear 6Ls off the pace, kept on same pace early straight, got tired passing 150M.
13 14 TOPSPIN EXPRESS (N004) W M Lai B/TT Raced keenly early stages when racing without cover, settled in midpack making the turn, not pace of others passing 300M, soon behind.
