1 4 ARMADA (CE246) D Whyte -- Away with them, mustered speed to take up position behind leader, enjoyed run of race, always travelling strongly to turn, made run between runners in straight, got clear at 200 M and sprinted away for a convincing win.
2 11 WINNING REWARD (CE254) H W Lai B Broke with line, restrained to midfield trailing position, settled down 4 back on fence 4 to 5Ls away, not used to turn, gained split on turning and kept trying in straight to chase down all but winner. Strong effort.
3 6 SIR ERNESTO (CG051) R Fradd B-/SR1 Began well, allowed to roll forward and take up spot outside leader, relaxed better at leaders girth, moved up to challenge on turning and took control at 300 M, headed at 200 M but fought on to hold 3rd.
4 3 SUPREME CLASS (CG089) F Coetzee CP/TT Good jump, unable to cross early and was posted 3 wide outside leaders 1L away, always working to turn, hung out in straight, moved up to challenge at 200 M but couldn't match them last 100 M. Good run considering workload.
5 7 WINNING SUCCESS (CE312) G Mosse TT1 Fastest to break, went forward but unable to slot in, finished up midfield 3 and 4 wide without cover, still 3Ls off them turning for home, moved up to challenge at 300 M and kept on well to just miss frame. Solid for wide run.
6 9 JIANG JUN (CE281) B Prebble -- Jumped with line, taken to fence to find cover, raced 3Ls back on fence, used no petrol to turn, made run between runners on turning, lacked clear room early in straight but showed no real dash when clear. (Crowded late.)
7 1 FIRST AMONG EQUALS (CC327) E Saint-Martin B Lost significant ground at start, pushed hard to catch up, settled down 5 to 6Ls away on rails, not asked in mid section, followed rails in straight giving big start. Made up a little ground but never a real factor.
8 2 SELF FLIT (CB322) C Munce B Broke with rest, pushed along to take up running after 300 M, did some work from wide alley, dictated pace in front, tackled for lead on turning, gave in quickly and was one-paced to line.
9 14 FANTUZZI (CG187) K T Yeung -- Jumped alongside field, drifted back to midfield, raced 2 wide 4Ls away in mid-section, pushed along approaching turn, kept to task in straight making a little ground last 200 M, OK first up effort.
10 13 SOLAR (CC198) C Williams B Average to begin, showed no dash early, raced rearward throughout 8Ls away on rails, still last turning with job to do, made run between horses in straight making up some late ground passing tired runners.
11 8 SAVUTE (CE326) M Nunes -- Jumped fairly, amongst first few early, settled in ideal spot 1 out 1 back with run of race, under pressure on turn 3Ls away, couldn't change gear when they sprinted and only battled to line.
12 5 DON FELIPE (CD273) G Schofield -- Began poorly, pushed along to stay in touch, raced 3 wide at tail, made ground to be 5Ls away at mid-point, always working and came with 4 wide run on turn, didn't finish show usual and was one-paced to line. (Mucopus.)
13 12 EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) M W Leung P/H Shifted out at start, proved difficult to settle when making up ground to settle 6Ls away near rear, raced 2 wide (still ungenerously) in same spot to turn, under pressure into straight and only plodded to line.
14 10 SANBENITO (CC256) O Doleuze CP/TT Slow to begin, pushed along to hold spot, at tail 2 wide 8Ls away, tracked into race on turn, under pressure in straight and failed to make any impression. Plodded to line.
