1 3 WRATH OF FIRE (CL420) Z Purton -- Assumed usual role at rear soon after start, best part of 8ls back, plenty to do turning, wound up strongly final 300m to finish over top of rivals final furlong.
2 10 XILAI XIANZI (N088) M Chadwick TT Even break, positioned just off midfield, 5-6Ls back in running line, made progress between horses t4urning, closed well final 200m to miss by a narrow margin.
3 13 SOUNDS EXCELLENT (CK259) W M Lai V Settled in rear division 3 wide with cover, 7Ls or so off lead, swung wider turning, made good ground in straight to take 3rd.
4 14 NICHOLSON (M173) T Clark SR-/B2 Pressed forward to take up spot near lead, assumed a 1 out 1 back role, all favours to bend, took over at 300m but couldn't hold off placegetters inside final furlong.
5 5 NOBLE DELUXE (M063) T H So -- Took a prominent spot on leaders back, all chance in mid-section, took inside runs and looked a place chance when challenging at 300m, peaked inside final furlong.
6 6 PERCY JACKSON (N188) D Whyte H- Unable to get closer than 3 wide in midfield, 5Ls or so back with cover, angled wider rounding bend, made steady headway to be nearest on line.
7 11 TRAVEL BRAND (N112) C W Wong B Pressed on when a little wide to sit outside leader, not far away thereafter, levelled up on turning, kept to task but dropped off final 200m.
8 8 EAGLE SPIRIT (CL326) M Du Plessis CP/XB Even break, raced 3-4Ls back in 2 wide line, had fair run throughout, stayed on to 200m before run ended.
9 2 JAMESINA (CH290) M Zahra B/TT Taken back to rear from a tricky alley, 8Ls or so away at rear, set task with field to beat turning, passed a few tired ones late.
10 9 MEDALLIST (N024) B Prebble -- Posted 3 wide from widest alley, 3Ls off leaders doing it tough without cover, close enough turning but run ended at 300m and dropped off.
11 1 I SMELL MONEY (M019) W Pike -- Pressed forward to take up running, allowed to set terms to suit in middle stages, headed turning and had no extra gear, battled away dropping off final 200m.
12 4 LOVING STAR (M382) O Doleuze CP-/B1 Began awkwardly and missed start, mustered to be 3-4Ls back on rails, but keen in mid section, folded when asked for effort in straight. (See Racing Incidents.)
13 12 THE ONLY KID (CH173) C K Tong TT Ended up near rear 7Ls or so away on rails, quiet trip to bend, lacked usual finish and was beaten a long way at finish.
14 7 PRIDE AND HONOUR (N320) T Angland -- No early pace and cast 3 and 4 wide without cover behind midfield, always working to bend, dropped right out after hard run.
