1 9 JAMESINA (CH290) D Whyte CP/TT In midfield 5Ls off the pace, travelled strongly throughout, briefly held up for a run in straight but really accelerated away when cleared 300 M. Won decisively.
2 11 DANESIS (CH194) F Coetzee TT Took it up from 1400 M and set a steady pacing in front, given a breather on the turn before picking up again passing 400 M, kept on strongly to line but couldn't repel the impressive winner inside 150 M.
3 4 BULLISH CASH (CH049) G Mosse TT Held a rearward position 7Ls back in the early and middle stages, crept closer along the fence passing 500 M, angled into clear 250 M, stayed on well to take 3rd but never troubled the winner.
4 7 BEST FRIEND (CH240) B Prebble B In midfield early but was shuffled back to the rear on turning, taken wide for a clear passage approaching home straight, came with a serious challenge down the outside but run ended passing 100 M.
5 8 CALIFORNIAMOUNTAIN (CG310) K L Chui TT Assumed a forward position as expected, tracked leader along the rail, made his move passing 600 M, battled on early in straight but couldn't sustain effort inside final 150 M.
6 2 JACKPOT DELIGHT (CJ101) S Dye B Held up towards the rear in early stages, strode forward passing 800 M to be alongside leaders coming off the bend, kept on one-paced and never threatened.
7 1 EYSHAL (CJ099) D Beadman B/TT Always handy behind leaders, under pressure from 600 M, couldn't show his usual acceleration on straightening and ran someway below what he is capable of. (Questioned.)
8 10 AMBITIOUS GENERAL (CJ066) Z Purton B/CC In a position towards the rear 8Ls behind leader, moved closer from 700 M and covered extra ground, fought on briefly in straight but didn't progress at all, dropped out near 200 M.
9 3 VIVA MACAU (CH110) J Winks CP/TT Settled in midfield 5Ls off the pace, commenced to race ungenerously near 600 M, found little under pressure before weakening inside 150 M.
10 6 EVER BRIGHT (CG223) O Doleuze B Purposely taken back, travelled in the rear throughout, taken very wide making the turn, had nothing to offer once into the straight, dropped away near 200 M.
