3 1 TOWERING FEELING (CG262) D Whyte -- Well enough to begin, crossed but posted 3 wide without cover from an outside alley, always doing share of work 3 to 4Ls back, improved on turning and chimed in with a big run at 300 M, kept finding to go down narrowly in 3 way go.

5 2 FLYING BISHOP (CA296) C K Tong TT Began nicely, went on from a wide alley to assume spot outside of leader, raced at leaders girth throughout with reasonable speed on, challenged turning in and momentarily lead, overhauled last 200 M but stuck on well.
6 9 RIGHT FRAAR (CE024) A Delpech B- Fast to leave gates, didn't have pace to follow through and found 3 wide position 5Ls back in midfield, trailed nicely with cover to bend, eased to middle and finished off steadily doing fairly to hold ground to line.
7 8 BOOMING CITY (CE325) D Nikolic B/XB Tardy getaway, ridden up to sit behind midfield on rails, had easy time 5Ls off pace throughout, saved ground on bend and kept on inside in straight, finished off evenly to be nearest on line.
8 3 NOBLE HEART (CC355) B Prebble B/TT Ordinary to leave gates, gathered up to settle down in midfield, raced 5Ls back in running line, between horses and shuffled back on bend, went back to rails but didn't find another gear and only battled in run to line.
9 4 HOLIGAN (CH003) C Soumillon B Restrained from a wide alley soon after break, took up residence near rear, raced 2 wide 7Ls away thereafter, still well back to turn, urged along turning in, switched out and made some ground but gave too much a start.
10 6 NICE KING (CG147) E Saint-Martin -- Away with them, taken hold of to slot in behind midfield, raced 2 wide 6Ls off pace with easy run to bend, improved 3 wide turning but lacked a real dash and only passed tired runners in run to line.
11 11 DARE TO WIN (CG099) M W Leung SB Bounced out, had good toe to take up running, dictated terms in front at an even clip, still there with a narrow advantage turning in, didn't respond when pressured and checked when weakening out at 200 M.
