1 6 HAPPEE GIFT (CH313) D Beadman XB/H Urged to race amongst leaders after start. Eased to a prominent spot from approaching the Rock. Kept chasing the leader in the straight and was nicely on top near the finish.
2 3 PAR EXCELLENCE (CK020) D Whyte SR/TT Raced within 3Ls of the pace near the rail through to the home straight. Responded well and ran on strongly to snatch 2nd final strides.
3 1 BELONG TO CASA (CJ064) T H So -- Soon in the front rank but trapped 4-wide. Shaken up and raced outside the leader passing 700 M. Led by 2Ls turning in. Held on until overhauled by the front pair closing stages.
4 4 THUNDER FLASH (CG270) G Mosse B/TT Pushed to hold lead on fence early. Shared lead 700 M out. Build a 2Ls gap turning into home. Couldn't sustain final furlong and just held 4th.
5 12 JUST RIGHT (CH300) G Cheyne SR In the leading section early. Settled one-out-one-back from 650 M. Made steady progress in the straight and just missed out on 4th.
6 5 TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) K C Leung P-/CP2 Began well but trapped wide. Slotted into a 2-wide position at midfield near 800 M. Took inside run and was 4Ls down turning in. Unable to turn up a notch.
7 8 FIONN'S DRAGON (CL046) B Doyle TT1 Raced 2-wide behind midfield through to the home turn and was 7Ls away into final stretch. Made up good ground late and was steadied closing stages.
8 7 BUSHWHACKER (CK153) B Prebble CP Travelled 3-wide behind midfield through to the home straight. Couldn't pull out extra under pressure.
9 2 FLY HIGH (CH126) Y T Cheng V Poor start, ridden to race 3-wide without cover at midfield through to the home straight. Peaked final furlong. (Dynamic pharyngeal collapse.)
10 9 PERFECT FIT (CK323) M Chadwick B/TT Steadied after start and failed to muster. Over 10Ls behind the speed rounding the bend. Beat tired runners only.
11 11 SHOWTIME (CK278) J Lloyd B1/TT1 Jumped awkwardly and raced greenly at rear throughout. Never a factor.
12 10 PROSPERITY KID (CK321) J Winks -- Towards rear early and middle stages. Struggled home.
