1 9 WINNING DATA (H230) K Teetan B Jumped fairly, recovered to race in midfield, quickened up well on straightening, led near 100M and had enough to hold off fast finishing 2nd late.
2 2 JUMBO FORTUNE (G195) K De Melo PC/XB Slow to begin, settled towards the rear, raced keenly 750M, held up making home turn before running on strongly from 350M, nearest finish.
3 3 EIGHTY LIGHT YEARS (H170) C L Chau B/TT Prominent, tracked leader from 1000M, battled on well along the fence from 400M, not pace of first two final 150M, held 3rd in a photo finish.
4 1 FUN N GLORY (G003) M Chadwick TT Settled in 3rd, moved up to the lead passing 400M, kept on well until headed by winner near 100M, turned one pace late stages.
5 6 PO ON WAY (H201) M Barzalona B Settled behind mid-division, ran on mildly after turning home, claimed modest 5th late stages.
6 4 ARIEL (G223) L Ferraris B-/CP2/TT Close up behind leaders early stages before dropping back to a position ahead of midfield, kept on over final 400M but not pace to challenge leaders.
7 5 STAR CLUB (H239) B Avdulla -- Held up midfield, wide into straight, tried hard from 400M but not going the pace to challenge, no extra 150M. (Jockey : better suited by dropping back in trip where it would appreciate a more genuine tempo.)
8 7 CIRCUIT NINE (G140) Z Purton B/TT Slow to begin and from wide draw dropped back to race near last, ran on fairly passing 400M, never a threat to leaders.
9 13 G LINER (H072) C Y Ho H/XB/TT Reserved in midfield, held up 450-300M behind a rival which was giving ground, kept on one-paced over final 200M.
10 10 COMMANDING MISSILE (G210) A Atzeni B-/H Bumped at the start, settled towards the rear, swung very wide for home, ran on fairly passing 350M and never threatened.
11 14 HERO ICON (G422) A Badel TT Dropped back to a position behind midfield, not quickened when driven early straight, never in contention. (Jockey concerned his horse's action post race. / No Vet findings)
12 12 BULB PRINCE (G179) A Hamelin H-/TT Bumped at the start and from a wide draw taken back to race at the rear, failed to respond top of straight, soon left behind.
13 8 FANCY STAR (H428) L Currie P/TT Made some early use to find the lead, caught by rivals passing 400M, weakened rapidly.
14 11 MASSIVE TALENT (H282) L Hewitson CP1 Chased leaders, driven out 500M, soon struggled to hold its position and eased. (Jockey felt something amiss and didn't ride out from 300M / Blood in trachea.)
