1 8 WATCH BUDDY (H185) H Bentley -- Away well, sat in behind the leaders, 4th at 200M, worked home strongly to get up near line.
2 5 RAGING BLIZZARD (H368) K Teetan -- Bumped at the start, prominently ridden, moved up to 2nd 600M, responded well on straightening and wrestled the lead nearing 200M, just failed to hold off winner late stages.
3 6 SUGAR SUGAR (G016) L Ferraris B-/TT From draw 1 well into stride, shared early lead before taking a sit behind leader, fought hard to the line but no match for first two late stages. (inconvenienced near 200M.).
4 2 ARMOUR EAGLE (G093) A Atzeni B/XB/TT Jumped on terms, raced keenly in the middle stages, close up behind leaders making home turn, kept on steadily over final 300M, couldn't get closer to first few.
5 4 PRINCE OF PORTY (H009) B Avdulla TT Jumped cleanly and moved up quickly to lead, shifted in under pressure mid-straight and got run down soon after, faded out of the placings.
6 12 TOGEPI (G458) L Hewitson B/TT Maintained a midfield position 4Ls off the lead on settling, driven wide into straight before keeping on moderately to the line, never a genuine threat.
7 9 GOLDEN SAMURAI (H024) C Y Ho B2/TT Not hurried after the jump, settled down behind mid-division, brought wide 350M, lacked a strong response and laid in when placed under pressure. Failed to threaten.
8 7 STREET CONQUEROR (H341) M L Yeung TT Restrained to a rearward position, widest straightening and came home only fairly, never likely to feature.
9 10 BEAUTY CHAMP (G137) M Chadwick H/XB/TT Jumped awkwardly, recovered to settle in midfield, had 4Ls to make up 400M but didn't finish it off on straightening.
10 3 LUCKY ARCHANGEL (E385) M F Poon B/XB From wide draw ridden along after the start, caught wide no cover chasing leaders for the majority of the event, only battled in the straight, no extra 200M.
11 1 BON'S A PEARLA (G449) Z Purton B Given a waiting ride, 6Ls off the pace making home turn, steadied 450M, was making progress when checked near 100M, lost all chance. (Blood in trachea.)
12 11 ONLY U (J037) H T Mo B1/TT Taken back to last 8-9Ls off the pace, had job ahead on straightening, gave no response and was never in the picture.
