1 8 ARMADA (CE246) D Whyte -- Jumped with them, niggled along to take close order, settled in midfield 2 wide 4Ls away, held main rival in pocket when easing 3 wide into straight, cruised to them at 300 M. Accelerated nicely to score another strong win.
2 7 ALL'S WELL (CE234) B Prebble -- Fast into stride from inside alley, allowed to relax and settle just off speed raced 4Ls away on rails, had easy time in run, held up significantly on turning, into clear at 250 M and charged late but rival had already pinched break.
3 11 LOTZATOW (CD397) C Munce V Checked on jumping, faded back to last from wide alley, raced 9 to 10Ls away 2 wide at rear throughout, began 3 wide run from 600 M, swung widest in straight, closed race off solidly to take 3rd giving far too great a start.
4 3 FRUITY FRUITY (CD061) R Fradd -- Fair to begin, lacked early speed, settled in rearward division on rails 6 to 7Ls away, didn't use a lot in the middle stages, still well back on turning, came between horses with run and did best work late to make the frmae.
5 1 HAPPEE OWNER (CE230) F Coetzee TT Reasonable to begin, niggled along but couldn't slot in, raced further back than expected 3 wide without cover 6Ls off them, closed to be 4Ls away on turn, kept on at same clip in straight without threatening winner.
6 4 SUNNY SING (CE135) E Saint-Martin TT Bounded in air and lost ground, positioned worse than midfield 8Ls off pace, raced 3 wide with cover in mid section, tracked nicely 4 wide on turn, closed steadily in straight but lacked turn of foot to be a factor.
7 5 CHEEKY (CA266) W C Marwing V Slow to begin and lost 3Ls, raced at tail of field 8 to 9Ls away on rails, didn't spend any petrol in run, travelled well to turn, had field in front on straightening, closed race off well from impossible spot.
8 9 GOOD PROFIT (CD389) Y T Cheng -- Hampered slightly on jumping, lacked early toe and settled in midfield 5Ls away on rails, enjoyed easy run to turn, blocked for a run to 250 M, only kept on at same pace when clear but race was over by that point.
9 10 BOBO WIN (CC238) C W Wong TT Fast into stride, showed good speed to take up usual spot in front, kept them rolling at even clip in mid section, held 1/2L advantage on turning, kicked strongly to 200 M but couldn't keep on and faded last bit.
10 14 WEALTHY TREASURE (CC270) A Delpech -- First to break, allowed to settle in prominent spot 1 out 1 back, had run of race in middle stages, still travelling well on turning for home, unable to go up a gear in straight and weakened out late.
11 6 ORIENTAL MAGIC (CE133) G Schofield TT Average to begin, faded back to rear from awkward alley, raced 2 wide 8 to 9Ls from front runners, niggled along on turn, in traffic for most of straight but never a real factor and only closed off at one pace.
12 2 SATURN (CD154) W M Lai -- Standard break, ridden up to take up midfield spot 2 wide 5Ls off pace, difficult to settle and bumped at 700 M, began to struggle on turn, checked when weakening out at 200 M and didn't offer thereafter.
13 12 BEING FAMOUS (CD018) D Dunn B Away well, rolled forward to take up prime spot behind leader, had great run 2Ls away throughout, still travelling on turning, showed no turn of foot when asked and gradually weakened to be well beaten.
14 13 RUM SHOT (CE206) M W Leung B Began with them, used up a little to cross from wide alley, raced at leaders girth throughout at even speed, still there to 300 M, didn't find anything when pressure was applied and weakened out tamely.
