1 3 NYX GLUCK (K438) Z Purton CP- From wide draw dropped back to race at the rear further back than intended, 9Ls off the pace middle stages, still some work to do top of the straight, closed off fastest to lead inside 150M. Won convincingly.
2 4 BEAUTY AWARD (L326) A Atzeni -- Obtained a midfield position 3-4Ls off the pace, quickened up nicely from top of the straight, ran home well final 200M but just found winner too strong.
3 7 STRATHPEFFER (H095) L Hewitson B Slotted into a 3-wide spot behind midfield, closed off steadily final 300M to take 3rd but was readily held by first two.
4 12 CHEERFUL WONGCHOY (L045) Y L Chung H/PC Taken back after the start, settled at the back 7-8Ls off the pace, still plenty to do 400M, finished off well making good progress to take 4th close home
5 10 HONORARY (K481) A Badel B/TT Went forward pressing leader on the outside, travelled well going into straight and soon took over, lost lead inside 150M and faded close home. (Blood in trachea.)
6 2 CALL ME SPARKLE (K571) E Brown TT From wide draw pressed forward to be tracking leaders, raced wide no cover throughout, responded well from 400M to briefly go 2nd mid-straight, couldn't sprint with leaders final stages.
7 13 POWER PATCH (L100) C Y Ho B Jumped on terms, settled just off the pace, had every chance from 400M, run ended mid-straight and weakened.
8 6 PRESTIGE COME (L261) M F Poon TT Not hurried early stages, given a waiting ride towards the rear 3-wide , ran past beaten rivals in the straight for a midfield finish. (Jockey - raced greenly throughout.)
9 8 FRANCIS MEYNELL (J394) C L Chau B1/TT Fast into stride from draw 1 to take the lead, pressed by rival early and middle stages, struggled to keep up passing 300M, faded towards the finish. (Jockey - unsuited by being pressured in the lead.)

11 1 CIRCUIT FIERY (H475) H Bowman PC/TT Stayed close enough to leaders in the 5th spot, kept on at same pace turning home, raced in restricted room 200M for some distance and failed to run on after.
12 9 ACA FAST (K467) J Orman -- Taken across to a rail spot soon after the start, near last 8Ls off the pace making the home turn, couldn't go on in the straight. Never in the picture.
13 5 BIG BIG WORLD (L257) K C Leung H/TT Away awkwardly, reserved behind midfield along the inside, couldn't quicken passing 400M.
