4 4 TIMES TABLE (J230) J Orman CP-/B1 Settled in second half of the field 6-7Ls off the pace, produced a strong finale from 400M to finish a close 4th, nearest finish.
5 1 WUKONG JEWELLERY (K314) B Avdulla P-/TT Reserved in mid-division, stayed on steadily under top weight over final 300M, not going the pace to challenge leaders late stages.
6 2 BEAUTY VIVA (K155) A Badel B/TT Jumped fairly, dropped back to the rear about 8Ls off the pace, held up for clear running on the home turn before running on nicely over final 300M, not beaten far by first few.

9 8 YOUTH POWER (H358) H Bentley B/TT Sent forward to the lead, pressed by rival on outside, lost lead nearing 400M then weakened towards the finish. (Jockey : did not appreciate having a rival positioned to its outside.)

12 12 SMILING EMPEROR (J371) A Atzeni V/XB Stayed in touch with leaders, outpaced passing 300M, weakened rapidly. (Jockey : failed to run out a strong 1800M, particularly stepping up in class for this race.)
