1 1 SAPELLI (CK191) C Y Ho B2 Eased back from a wide alley to race 3ide with cover 6-7Ls back, improved with trail on bend, let down strongly final 300m and went away late for a tidy win.
2 13 HEAR THE ROAR (M152) T Clark -- Began in line, took up a midfield position 7-8Ls back, had nice trip in middle stages, switched out and kept chasing in straight but found winner a bit too strong.
3 2 HELENE SPIRIT (M310) B Prebble TT Caught 3 wide without cover from a tricky alley, gradually crept closer on circle to be 1l down turning, kept on bravely in straight but lacked extra fight to go with first two.
4 8 SAME WORLD (N098) D Beadman H/SR1 Went forward to take ideal spot 1 out 1 back, went to rails soon after, all favours in run, produced even effort to keep coming along inside in straight to make frame.
5 12 STRAIGHT FORWARD (CL100) O Doleuze SR Slow into stride, shared rear nearly 10ls back in running line, set plenty to do turning, closed best of rest making some good ground to be nearest on line.
6 14 RICH TAPESTRY (N011) Y T Cheng SR Positive from outset, first outside leader, took 1 out 1 back trail on circle, came wide turning but lacked dash and just kept on same pace.
7 11 SOVIET PEARL (CK187) M Du Plessis TT Fair to begin, positioned in midfield 5Ls back on rails, easy time to bend, didn't find much when clear and plodded late. (Jockey reported didn't stretch out.)
8 6 CARTHAGE (CL256) T Angland SR/TT No early pace, raced 7-8Ls away on rails, not made use of in middle stages, plenty to do turning, battled away at same pace in straight.
9 3 KING OF SCOTS (CK084) D Whyte -- Caught 3 wide without cover from wide alley and forced to press on early, did work to be outside leader on bend, ridden along turning and dropped off after a hard run.
10 4 HAPPY TUMBLER (CL048) G Cheyne XB Drifted back from an awkward alley, raced 3 wide behind midfield, best part of 8-9Ls off top end, still plenty to do turning, no real finish and only beat tired ones.
11 7 OLE OLE (CK301) M L Yeung TT Slotted into a rearward trailing position, ended up 10Ls off leaders on rails, always well back, never likely.
12 10 LIBERATOR (CL240) J Lloyd B/H/TT Went forward as usual and took up 1 out 1 back slot once they settled down, all favours in run, found little at business end and was disappointing weakening out.
13 5 BEAUTY TOUCH (N001) M Guyon TT Settled behind pace 3 wide with cover, 3-4Ls back in run, ridden along turning in, didn't go on with it final 300m and dropped out.
14 9 CARTOON FAY FAY (N014) B Doyle B Showed early speed and held lead, set average speed in front, worried by outside horse on bend, gave in without much fight.
