1 5 MR BOND (M098) G Mosse -- Taken back, settled 2 off the fence 7Ls behind leader, picked up strongly once shifted into clear 250M, good headway final 150M under a forceful ride and got up close home to justify favouritism.
2 11 MING HOI TREASURE (CK145) Y T Cheng TT Held up in midfield, travelled smoothly and had a ground saving trip along the fence, came through a narrow gap on the inside 200M, hit lead inside 100M only to be caught by winner in dying strides.
3 7 FLORA DANICA (M064) M Du Plessis -- Went forward, crossed to the lead near 1200M having been wide in early stages, set steady tempo to straight, headed inside 100M but battled on well to hold 3rd.
4 10 GOOD LUCK WIN (CK004) H W Lai CP/XB Settled in midfield but was 3-wide without cover for most of the trip, strode closer to leader over the home turn, briefly looked threatening mid-straight, kept on final 200M but not pace of first 2.
5 3 JIMSON THE BEST (CL016) Z Purton -- Positively ridden early stages to hold a position not far off the pace, responded well when driven 300M out, turned one pace final 100M.

8 6 TRES MAGNIFIQUE (CL367) D Whyte B/TT Vied for early lead, crossed to the fence nearing 1200M and sat behind leader, not quickened when put to pressure in straight, faded final 100M.
9 9 PERFECT TEN (CL030) T Clark B/TT Travelled 3-wide in mid-division, kept on same pace in straight and was never a threat.
10 8 BEAUTY SUCCESS (CL422) M Chadwick B/TT Slow to begin, outpaced in last nearly 10Ls off the pace in middle stages, had plenty to do turning in, gave limited response running past beaten runners only.
11 12 GIANTS SERAPIS (M285) G Cheyne H/SR Positioned 2-wide behind midfield, outpaced making the home turn and was never a factor.
