1 3 TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) B Prebble V1 Keen early, settled 1L back in 3rd at 1000 M, led about 350 M out and again appeared reluctant with head on one side, 1L clear at 200 M and all out to just hang on.
2 2 I'M NO SQUARE (CG078) S Dye TT Lacked any early pace and positioned 7Ls back in 13th at 1000 M, niggled along at 600 M, 5Ls to make up at top of stretch but finished strongly final 200 M and post came a stride too soon.
3 9 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) A Starke B 3-wide with cover and worse than midfield, raced about 5Ls off speed until home straight when driven along, made some nice late ground to just nick a place.
4 7 FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) A Delpech B1 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, edged closer in 3rd at top of stretch had every possible chance to at least run 3rd but missed out on a place in final strides.
5 14 JOYFUL WORLD (CC200) H W Lai B/TT Prominent as usual, briefly disputed lead out 2-wide at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 4th off home turn, would have placed with any ability to quicken.
6 8 GLORIOUS RHYTHM (CC163) C Soumillon V Midfield or so about 4Ls off pace at halfway, improved to 2Ls back in 7th taking final bend, given every hope to place but failed to find an extra gear.
7 11 CHERISHED (CB160) C K Tong -- About 6Ls back in 12th at the 1000 M, only a little closer turning for home, made some minor late ground without really threatening a place.
8 6 HAPPY MASTER (CE050) G Mosse SR On fence about 4Ls back in mid-division when steadied at 700 M, disappointed for running off final bend and checked at 100 M when tight for room again when 3Ls behind, not ridden out late.
9 10 LEADER (CG012) M Nunes SR Around midfield with cover about 4Ls off speed until straightening for home, one-paced from then on.
10 4 ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) D Nikolic V Had the run of the race on fence 4th at 1000 M, 2Ls back in 6th and 2-wide at final bend, looked held from the money when crowded at 100 M out.
11 5 UNIVERSAL PIONEER (CB293) C W Wong TT Led early on, 1L clear at 800 M, headed by winner 350 M out, soon beaten and eased late.
12 1 VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) D Whyte -- Prominent between 2Ls and 3Ls off pace in about 5th or 6th until midway, 3-wide throughout but mostly with cover, 4-wide turning for home and dropped out very tamely late.
13 13 MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) Y T Cheng SR-/CP2 Caught 5-wide no cover early on, never managed to get in so pressed on out deep to be 3Ls off speed at 800 M, 2Ls down in 5th at the 400 M, soon beaten after hard run and eased out late.
14 12 FABULOUS TREASURE (CG069) S K Sit B- Performance deemed unacceptable having been off the bridle about 10Ls throughout, eased a long way out.
