1 7 HAPPY TUMBLER (CL048) B Prebble XB Prominently placed in a one-off spot 3Ls off the speed, clicked into gear when placed under pressure at 300 M, hit the front at 100 M, kept on strongly to score.
2 5 INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) G Mosse TT Jumped fast, urged along to lead and found the fence before the first turn, suited by the soft tempo, quickened well when asked at 300 M, kept on soundly for 2nd.

8 8 MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) Z Purton BO Slow away, settled 8Ls off the pace in rear, not suited by the soft tempo, failed to make up any ground in the home straight.
9 2 SAPELLI (CK191) J Lloyd -- Taken back from gate 8 and travelled one from the rear, on heels at 600 M, 5Ls behind the leader at home turn, failed to make any progress.
