1 6 ORIENTAL MAGIC (CE133) G Mosse TT2 Quietly ridden about 6Ls off pace in 10th through first half, closer but briefly held up entering homestretch, quickened up well to lead about 150 M out, just hung on.
2 11 FIRM OFFER (CE008) E Saint-Martin SR Settled 9Ls last at 1000 M, crept closer to be 4Ls down in 12th off home turn, held up for a run from 300 M to 200 M when 3Ls down, ran on very strongly, post came just too soon, unlucky.
3 3 MY CHOICE (CC283) B Prebble -- 4Ls off speed in 6th when 2-wide at 900 M, briefly held up when over 2Ls off pace taking final bend, bumped at 200 M when 1L off speed, kept on strongly again for a place.
4 1 GEM OF INDIA (CC008) R Fradd -- 3-wide with cover 7Ls off pace in 11th at 1000 M, progress on bend to be 3-wide straightening when 3Ls down in mid-division, seemed certain of at least a place when 1L down in 3rd 150 M out, no extra.
5 4 FIVE GRAINS (CB280) A Delpech -- Slowest away, about 8Ls behind in 13th at 1000 M, 3-wide and 6Ls last turning for home, ran on well to be nearest at the finish.
6 8 BOBO WIN (CC238) C Soumillon TT On fence 1L behind leader in 2nd, disputing 2nd place a neck off the pace at home straight entrance, led by a neck 300 M out, headed by winner at 150 M, one-paced close home.
7 9 SIROCCO (CA169) H W Lai -- Always 4-wide no cover, 5Ls off the speed in 7th at 1000 M, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home about 2Ls behind in 7th, outpaced by principals inside final 200 M.
8 5 BUMPER BUMPER (CD025) C Brown -- Well placed on fence between 2 to 3Ls behind leader in 4th until home straight, didn't find much running room from 300 M to 100 M, may have finished a little closer.
9 7 TRIUMPHANT UNICORN (CD166) S Dye B Keen early on, 2Ls off pace when 2-wide in 3rd at 1000 M, sharing 2nd place a neck behind leader turning for home, all out to be a head 2nd at the 200 M, weakened thereafter.
10 13 INDUSTRIAL SUCCESS (CC317) Y T Cheng B On fence about 5Ls off the pace in 9th at 1000 M, about 4Ls down in 10th off home bend, 4Ls last at the 200 M and never able to threaten when it mattered.
11 2 EXPECTATIONS (CD078) C W Wong SR In 12th place about 8Ls off the speed 900 M out, niggled along when 5Ls down in 12th at top of homestretch, 3Ls worse than midfield at the 200 M, drew no closer.
12 12 WEALTHY TREASURE (CC270) D Whyte -- Head up and racing ungenerously at 900 M when covered up in midfield about 4Ls off speed, 3-wide on straightening when 3Ls off pace in midpack, never troubled leaders.
13 14 KINDACROSS (CG041) F Coetzee TT Crossed from widest gate to lead by 1L on fence at 1000 M, a neck clear tackling home turn, headed 300 M out and weakened inside final 200 M.
14 10 WHATABOB (CD213) O Doleuze B Mostly without cover, 4-wide back in 5th when 3Ls down at 900 M, 2Ls down and 4-wide on straightening in 4th place, swamped approaching the 200 M, eased late.
