1 3 WEALTHY (CD164) Y T Cheng SR1 5Ls behind leader and 2-wide in 7th at 1000 M, short of room on the circle and 4Ls down in 7th entering straight, short of room at 300 M, good acceleration to lead at 100 M, drew nicely clear.
2 9 ISLAND SPIRIT (CD014) R Fradd V 3Ls off pace in 5th when 2-wide at 1000 M, 3-wide into home straight when over 1L behind in 3rd, disputing lead at 300 M and narrow advantage at 200 M, headed 100 M, hung on for 2nd.
3 7 FLYING KENNY (CC244) T Mundry V 3-wide without cover when 6Ls off speed in 8th at 1000 M, 4-wide on straightening when 3Ls down in 6th, 1L down in 3rd at the 200 M, one-paced through closing stages.
4 13 SHINING GEM (CA180) O Doleuze -- On fence 5Ls behind in 6th at 1000 M, took closer order on bend to be 3Ls down in 5th off home turn, checked at 300 M when looking for an inside run, always held thereafter.
5 8 GLORIOUS RHYTHM (CC163) K S Yu B Caught 4-wide without cover when 7Ls behind in 10th at 800 M, 4-wide into home straight when 4Ls down in mid-division, ran on okay without threatening.
6 11 QI'S PET (CD321) B Prebble -- Prominent through to home straight no worse than 2Ls off the speed and 2-wide in 3rd, every chance from 300 M to 200 M when half a length down in 2nd, faded through final furlong.
7 2 BARAKA (CD284) D Dunn -- Checked at the start, 8Ls off the pace and 2-wide towards rear down the back, under pressure on the swing when 6Ls behind in 11th, never loomed as a possible threat.
8 14 REAL THRILLS (CD203) M Rodd B Swerved sharply right on exiting gates, 9Ls behind on fence in 12th at 800 M, steadied entering straight when 6Ls down and still towards rear, never dangerous.
9 4 BODACIOUS (CD170) G Mosse -- Badly checked exiting gates, head up early on, 10Ls off pace in rear down backstretch, 7Ls back in rear and 2-wide for home, some headway to be 4Ls down in 10th at 200 M, no extra.
10 10 JOY AND TREASURE (CD251) C Williams B Keen early on, on fence 7Ls off the pace in 9th at the 900 M, over 4Ls down in 9th or so off final bend and at 200 M, back-pedalled thereafter.
11 12 GOLD MASTER (CC365) D Whyte -- Awkwardly away and very intractable throughout, always hanging left when 7Ls or 8Ls off pace when one from rear, always held on run-in down in the centre of track.

14 6 BE MY BRIDE (CD318) A Delpech -- 2Ls off pace on fence in 4th at 1000 M, always raced a little greenly with head up, under pressure to hold this prominent position at the 600 M, beaten well over 300 M out.
