1 4 GRACYTOM (L408) C Y Ho B/H Parked midfield, 2 deep after the 800m, with cover. Shot to the front near the furlong and won comfortably.
2 7 DRAGON CHOICE (L338) J Lloyd B/TT Crowded at the start, proved difficult to settle early stages and traveled behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Chased home gamely.
3 1 FUN AND FAST (L177) Y T Cheng B Began on terms then was severely checked near the 1000m, settling in last position 1 off with cover. Closed off strongly.
4 11 HEY HA MASTER (L208) O Doleuze TT Led early before handing up near the 700m and box seating thereafter along the rails. Kept on soundly to make the frame.
5 8 BINGO BINGO (L196) M L Yeung H-/B/TT Ridden along early but had a tendency to lay in, camping 3 back the fence. Stayed on fairly well in the home straight.
6 2 WELL DONE (L343) M Chadwick B Made solid contact with another runner at the start, sent forward to eventually cross and lead along the paint after the 700m. Was gassed approaching the final 100m.
7 10 PLANET (L029) D Beadman P- Travelled worse than midfield on the rails. Stayed near the inside in the final stretch, kept on evenly without quickening.
8 6 MEGABUCKS (CJ301) B Doyle V Posted 3 wide without cover after the 800m, midfield. Never likely.
9 12 RUN TO WIN (M133) M Barzalona B/TT Tightened on jumping, settling behind midfield 3 wide with cover. Was never really in the hunt.
10 5 HERO AND GOLD (CK375) T Angland -- Raced near the rear of the field along the fence. Railed up in the home straight and had some difficulty obtaining clear running near the 100m, whilst closing off reasonably, went to the line untested.
11 9 METREVELLI (M165) N Callan B Began very awkwardly settling with backmakers, 2 deep with cover. Made little headway in the straight despite being checked to avoid heels near the 150m.
12 3 CLASSIC FIGURE (L279) G Mosse TT Copped a bump at the break then managed to go forward and settle outside the leader after the 700m. Faded passing the 200m.
