1 2 IMPERIAL ROME (N012) W C Marwing TT Held up behind midfield, well suited to the pace, switched to clear 300M and put in a powerful finish, got up near line for a back to back victory.
2 3 SIMPLE (N021) Z Purton -- Reserved in midfield along the fence, moved sweetly into contention nearing 400M, ran on strongly to lead near 50M, caught by winner final few strides.
3 5 GOOD WORDS (CL371) M Chadwick TT Driven forward and took them along at even pace, kept on well turning in and was only headed inside 50M.
4 11 TOUCH GO (CL254) C K Tong -- Set early pace, chased leader from 1000M, kept on evenly final 350M but couldn't match the finishing speed of first two.
5 6 NEW GLORY (CK304) O Doleuze B Fast away, restrained but never far off from the leaders, kept on steadily down the inside passing 350M, had every chance before meeting interference final 100M.
6 12 CHINA POWER (CM400) C Y Lui B/TT Nudged along early, chased leader in 3rd, all out inside 300M but gave limited response, outpaced final 200M.
7 8 BEST WIN (CL212) T Angland H Restrained after the start but unable to slot in, kept 3-wide for much of the way, came widest into straight, stayed on fairly from off the pace.
8 7 TURBO KING (CL320) G Mosse CP-/B1 Held up 2-wide behind midfield, made limited progress final 300M, never factored.
9 1 STERLING CITY (N152) A Suborics -- Taken back and guided to a rail position, reluctant to stretch out and had to be niggled along down the back straight, had little to offer when placed under pressure 500M out.
10 10 HANDSOME HANDSOME (N009) N Callan H/SR Dropped back to last, made no real progress final 350M, never threatened.
11 4 CHARITY SPIRIT (CM095) H W Lai TT Dropped back on jumping from 11, held up near the rear along the 2-path, not able to quicken when placed under pressure 300M.
12 9 DIAMOND ELEGANCE (N102) T Clark B/TT Held up 2-wide in midfield, inclined to hang out turning for home, found disappointingly little when placed under pressure, weakened badly final 200M. (Blood in trachea.)
