1 5 THE AZURE (J227) Z Purton -- Bumped at the start, from draw 2 settled down in midfield 6Ls back, driven wide into straight, finished off well to just get up in a 3-way photo.
2 8 DRAGON STAR (H128) K Teetan B/XB Went forward chasing leader, took over the lead inside 200M, fought hard late when challenged by pursuing rivals, just denied in a close finish.
3 12 ATOMIC BEAUTY (H066) A Atzeni V/TT Always in touch behind leaders, closed off nicely from 300M, challenged the winner late stages, just lost out in a 3-way photo.
4 9 JUMBO FORTUNE (G195) A Hamelin B/TT2 From wide draw obtained a position just ahead of midfield, in similar spot rounding the home turn, kept on steadily over final 300M but not gaining ground on first three.
5 3 TURIN WARRIOR (G150) H Bowman XB Had a ground saving trip in a position ahead of midfield, lay out after 250M, kept on evenly to the line under 135lb but not able to challenge first three.
6 1 SIMPLE HEDGE (H237) A Badel H Jumped only fairly, held up in mid-division 7Ls away, driven along 500M but never going the pace to challenge leaders.
7 4 SATIRICAL FAN (J214) J Orman TT Led from 1600M setting good pace early and middle stages, all out from 300M, lost lead inside 200M and weakened rapidly late. (Jockey : his mount raced keenly in the lead.)
8 2 TOP TIME (K006) K De Melo -- Settled down behind midfield, had 7Ls to make up 400M but only finished off fairly. Never dangerous. (Jockey : with the pace inside standard time his horse didn't travel well.)
9 10 GALLANT CROWN (D359) E C W Wong P-/B2/TT Sent forward tracking leaders in a race run at good pace, close enough top of straight but couldn't quicken under pressure, soon lost touch with leaders.
10 11 CONFRINGO (J322) M L Yeung V-/TT Taken back from wide draw, towards the rear 9-10Ls back, failed to finish off turning for home. Never in the picture.

12 7 IRON FIGHTER (J497) K C Leung B/TT Jumped only fairly, held up near last over 10Ls off the pace, struggled to keep up home turn, weakened badly final 300M. (No Vet findings.)
