Horse Name Jockey Gear Comment
1 10 SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) C Soumillon B 3-back on fence in midfield 4Ls from the leader until the 600 M, under pressure to improve swinging for home, dashed well along the inner to lead 70 M out, kept on.
2 5 VINCERE (CE324) E Wilson CP Mostly a neck 2nd out 2-wide until the home turn, led 300 M out but no answer once grabbed inside final 100 M.
3 8 VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) D Whyte SR About a neck to the good on fence from 1100 M to final turn, again one-paced when it mattered but did enough to place.
4 4 ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) Y T Cheng B Had the run of the race 2Ls from the speed in 4th or so until final bend, plugged on home at the same speed.
5 7 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) D Oliver -- Keen early on, had the 'one-out-one-back' position until final turn, had his chance to at least place but he lacked the kick.
6 3 SAMBUOYANT (CE172) R Moore B Slow to muster early pace, 4-back on fence about 6Ls from the speed until final bend, made some decent late ground.
7 2 HARRY HARRY (CD019) A Starke XB 3Ls off pace and 3-wide with cover in 6th until final turn, failed to quicken up.
8 11 NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) Y Iwata -- Unlucky not to finish closer, worse than midfield about 5Ls from the speed until home turn, didn't find much room in the finish, not fully tested.
9 9 CITY SURFER (CG129) T Durcan B/H 3-wide with cover worse than midfield until home turn, no impression.
10 12 AURELIAN (CC025) R Migliore CP Always towards rear at least 7Ls from the 1200 M.
11 1 LIVERBIRD (CE055) O Peslier B Trapped 3-wide no cover in 3rd when 2Ls from the early speed, wide throughout, weakened from top of home straight and checked when beaten at 100 M.
12 6 G-ONE LEADING (CE306) P Smullen -- Mostly 4-wide without cover, midfield about 3Ls from the speed until home turn, dropped out sharply.
