1 1 EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) E Saint-Martin -- Soon took up running and led while cocking his jaw as usual. Still held nearly a length's advantage turning for home. Fought on well to stave off challengers readily.
2 7 GOODY (CD239) A Delpech -- Raced in mid-division of this small field. Held rails run to straight when switched out for a run. Ran on well inside final 300 M to snatch 2nd without seriously threatening the winner.
3 5 EXCELLENT BOY (CE238) O Doleuze -- Broke well. Soon taken back to race in rear for a late run. Shaken up 400 M out and finished off race strongly.
4 9 HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) F Coetzee V Broke well but had to settle 3-wide without cover in prominent position. Gained one-out-one-back position coming out of back straight. Held similar until no extra passing 200 M.
5 3 MY CHOICE (CC283) B Prebble -- Sluggish at start. Swiftly crossed from 9-draw for rails run and picked up to 4th about 2Ls off the speed. Reached 3rd around home bend but baulked early in straight. Kept on same pace under pressure closing stages.
6 6 SILVER SUN (CE126) C W Wong -- Raced in last few. Rider reported saddle shifted 1200 M out. Closed steadily in straight to run home to be nearest at finish.
7 4 TIBER (CD155) D Whyte XB/TT Broke well settling mainly one out one back far side. Shifted back to 4th some 2Ls back approaching home bend. Held some chance when similar turning in reaching 2nd over 200 M out. Swamped when one-paced final stages.
8 8 LEADING AHEAD (CH249) K L Chui TT Raced mainly 3-wide in midfield of the small field. Ran home one-paced under pressure without quickening.
9 2 SURVEY SURVEY (CH070) G Mosse XB/TT In last few. Made no impression in straight.
