1 10 NORTHERN HERO (CG172) F Coetzee -- Very slow away, pushed to keep up with the field along the rail, 6.5Ls behind the leaders, swept towards 4 wide on straightening, dashed well 300 M and kicked away to win.
2 14 JOY AND FUN (CH014) C K Tong -- Pushed to sit 2.5Ls behind the leaders, 3 wide throughout, ran on well to the line to finish 2nd, keeps improving.
3 2 INSPIRATION (CG111) K L Chui -- Pushed to lead by half a length along the rails at good pace, always under pressure, hung on until 150 M overhauled, ran on well to finish a strong 3rd despite the negative situation.
4 4 PICKETT (CG155) A Delpech SR Eased to get across towards the rear, 8Ls off pace, 2 wide early and swept to 4 wide on straightening, followed the winner from 300 M and progressed steadily, had already done the best to run 4th.
5 5 TURF WARRIOR (CH061) G Mosse -- Eased to sit at the back but failed to get across towards the rail, 3 to 5 wide throughout, used too much fuel at the bends, still made ground 250 M.
6 1 THUNDER DANCING (CG250) O Doleuze B-/BO1/TT- Eased to sit about midfield, 4.5Ls off pace, 2 wide early but swept to 4 wide on straightening, had every chance to finish the race off strongly as it did in previous runs but was disappointing, just ran on OK.

8 6 BEAR MACHO (CG152) D Whyte -- Settled 2.5Ls behind the leaders, travelled nicely and 2 wide throughout, had every chance in the straight, however no turn of foot, disappointing.
