1 | 10 | WEALTHY (CD164) | E Saint-Martin | SR | 3-back the fence 4Ls off pace in 7th at 1000 M, similar position entering straight but 2-wide, 1L down in 2nd at the 200 M, led 100 M out, pulled clear. |
2 | 1 | NOBLE CRUSADER (CD286) | C Soumillon | -- | 3-wide with cover when 3Ls behind in 5th at 1000 M, 3-wide when 2Ls down in 4th off final bend, led 300 M out but caught by winner at the 100 M and no extra. |
3 | 14 | ZERO IN (CC332) | F Coetzee | -- | 7Ls behind when 3-wide with cover in 12th at 1000 M, still towards rear when 4-wide off home turn about 5Ls off pace, ran on well without looking likely to reach quinella pair. |
4 | 11 | WISHMASTER (CB240) | M Rodd | -- | 2-wide and 5Ls off speed in 10th at 1000 M, same when held up for run from top of home straight to 250 M out, kept on fairly but leading trio were in charge. |
5 | 8 | CLASSA WIN (CA115) | C Williams | B | About 9Ls down in rear at 1000 M, 6Ls behind in rear off home turn, made some moderate late ground. |
6 | 9 | SOLAR EMPIRE (CB299) | C K Tong | -- | 3-wide without cover when half a length down in 3rd at 1200 M, pressed on to lead by 1L out 2-wide at 600 M and entering straight, faded shortly after being headed 300 M out. |
7 | 4 | DOUBLE DIP (CD217) | D Holland | B | Keen early when 2Ls off pace on fence in 4th at 1200 M, checked at 900 M, still 2Ls down in 4th at final bend, faded out soon after. |
8 | 2 | THE KING (CD384) | G Schofield | TT | 2-wide and 4Ls behind in 6th at 1000 M, 5Ls behind and slightly further back on straightening, no impression. |
9 | 13 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | W M Lai | SR/CP | Head up and keen when disputing lead out 2-wide at 1200 M, 1L down in 3rd on fence at the home turn, soon weakened. |
10 | 5 | AMAZING ONE (CE044) | D Whyte | B1 | Sent on from widest gate to dispute lead out 4-wide without cover at 1000 M, 1L down in 3rd (and still no cover) from 800 M to homestretch, swamped at 200 M and drifted back. |
11 | 12 | DOUBLE HAPPINESS (CB198) | B Prebble | -- | 6Ls behind on fence 11Ls off pace at 1000 M, hung out 700 M out, 4Ls down on fence and held up for a run on straightening until about 300 M out, no impression when clear. |
12 | 3 | BRILLIANT FLASH (CE042) | R Fradd | -- | Didn't break well, 8Ls behind and one from rear in 13th at 1000 M, 6Ls behind in rear off final bend, never a factor. |
13 | 7 | SENSIBLE WAY (CA175) | S Dye | B | Disputed lead on fence at 1200 M, unbalanced at 900 M and 3Ls down in 5th on fence at 600 M and struggling to hold this spot at top of stretch, faded. |
14 | 6 | GIANFANTI (CD216) | G Mosse | TT | Had cover when 3-wide about 5Ls behind in 9th at 1000 M, still 9th but 4Ls down and 4-wide off home turn, dropped out tamely. (Lame.) |
