1 | 7 | PAOBRIDGE (CB073) | C Soumillon | B | Soon led, clear by 2Ls on the fence at the 800 M, 1L clear entering the home straight, shot 3Ls to the good at the 200 M, easily. |
2 | 1 | DANHERO (CA337) | G Schofield | -- | Always tended to hang in, raced 2 and 3-wide about 2Ls or 3Ls off the speed until turning for home, 5Ls down in 3rd place 200 M out, kept on quite well to take 2nd place on the line. |
3 | 10 | DRAGON HORSE (CB131) | E Saint-Martin | -- | On the fence 4Ls off the pace 800 M out, 2Ls down in 3rd place and travelling well entering straight, outpaced by winner and was grabbed for 2nd on the wire. |
4 | 2 | KENZAN (CB068) | G Mosse | SR | Awkwardly into stride, raced 3Ls off the speed out 2-wide 800 M out, 5Ls off the pace when inconvenienced 500 M out, at least 6Ls down at the 200 M, made some late headway. |
5 | 6 | CHAMP DE UNION (CB001) | M Kinane | -- | 3-wide and 5Ls off the pace 800 M out, 3-wide and 7Ls off the speed entering home straight, still well behind at the 200 M, kept on well close home. |
6 | 8 | SUPER FAST (BV327) | F Coetzee | B | Awkwardly away, switched across from wide gate to fence to be 7Ls off the pace 700 M out, 8Ls down entering straight, nearest at finish. |
7 | 3 | CHATER JADE (BV063) | A Suborics | B | Raced 3-wide 3Ls off the pace 800 M out, 4-wide and 6Ls behind entering home straight, 8Ls down 200 M out, no impression. |
8 | 12 | MAJOR BEE (CB374) | K C Tsang | B | Bumped at the start, advanced to be 4-wide and half a length off the speed 600 M out, didn't handle the bend that well, weakened in straight. |
9 | 5 | LUCKY TRIO (CB199) | S Dye | -- | Always wide and in rear, hung out and was very wide (6-wide) and 9Ls off the pace entering straight, no chance. |
10 | 9 | FRENCH CONNECTION (CA384) | J Spencer | -- | Never competitive, never better than 6Ls off the pace at any stage, beaten over 300 M out. |
11 | 4 | FORTUNE ROAD (CB269) | D Whyte | -- | On fence 2Ls off the pace 800 M out, under pressure to lie up turning for home when in 2nd place out 2-wide and 1L off the speed, faded rapidly. (See Racing Incidents.) |
12 | 11 | EASY KING (CA062) | O Doleuze | SR | Raced 2-wide 2Ls off the pace 800 M out, inconvenienced about 600 M out when 3Ls off the speed, soon under pressure, found nothing. |
