1 3 SUPER BALL (CD064) F Coetzee B-/PC2 Began awkwardly. Ridden to take lead on fence and set pace throughout. Held a 1L soft lead on straightening and clear by almost 2Ls inside 200 M. Kept on evenly and held off late charges.
2 8 TROPHY (CD027) S Sanders -- Jumped best. Pressured to race prominently 2Ls off pace on rail. 3rd to enter straight. Ran on moderately behind leader on the inside and produce some late impression final stages.
3 1 HAPPY MASTER (CE050) D Whyte SR Slow to begin. Midfield making the turn. Made up ground on the bend about 3Ls from pacesetter on fence. Responded strongly when clear final 200 M. Got going late.
4 5 SURE JOY (CE299) C Munce TT Fair jump. Hard to settle early on. Raced handy 2 wide 2Ls off pace. Looked likely early straight. Lacked extra kick when asked. Same pace till finish.
5 4 DOUCAI (CC255) O Doleuze B Broke well. Tracked leader in a 2 wide position. 2nd after straightening. 1Ls off lead at 300 M. Fought on steadily with no extra findings.
6 7 ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) R Fradd -- Jumped well. 2-wide 3Ls behind pacesetter at 800 M. Ran on strongly final 200 M. Made up some good ground to be closest at finish.
7 10 SMART CHAMPION (CC324) C Soumillon SR/TT Slow start. Stayed midfield in a 3-wide spot before making the turn. 6th coming home. Stayed on well early straight. Carried wider inside 200 M and one-paced thereafter.
8 9 KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) C K Tong P Lost ground after bumping at the start. Rear section at 800 M. Similar turning for home, did not get much closer. Never a hope.
9 12 CROISSANT (CE109) A Delpech -- Broke well from the outside barrier. Raced wide without cover and taken back at 800 M. Last few to enter straight. Failed to keep pace and found nothing in straight. (Mucopus.)

11 11 AMBITION (CC079) Y T Cheng B Clean jump from the outside gate. 2nd last to make the turn in a 4 wide spot. Switched wide on straightening. No response to riding on straight. Never a factor.
12 2 PLENTY OF HEART (CD380) S Dye -- Jumped well. 4 wide midfield with no cover making the turn. Started to yield at 600 M under pressure. Dropped out approaching straight. (Bled.)
