1 2 GOOD BA BA (CE201) O Doleuze TT Jumped with them but taken back to race 5Ls away in running line, pace against however relaxed well, always travelling to bend, let down with a big sprint to claim them at 100 M and score easily.
2 4 FLORAL PEGASUS (CG011) G Mosse TT Began in line, assumed spot on leaders back, had an ideal trip when pace slowed, shifted two wide on bend, went to leaders at 200 M but couldn't withstand finishing efforts of winner last 100 M.
3 1 VIVA PATACA (CG096) D Beadman H No early dash, raced 6Ls back in running line, disadvantaged when pace slowed in mid-section, angled 3 wide leaving bend but still well back, lacked a dash in straight but kept grinding away to line. Trip too short.
4 3 DOWN TOWN (CG054) D Whyte TT Bounced out, took a prominent spot outside leader, raced 1L away and suited by speed, moved closer on leaving bend, did best to overhaul leader but unable to close off with placegetters last 200 M.
5 6 ABLE ONE (CG108) G Boss -- Fast away, took up running easily, dictated terms throughout to suit, still held a 1/2L advantage on circle, wound up on turning, found to 200 M but couldn't sustain effort late.
6 10 ROYAL PRINCE (CH072) B Prebble TT Jumped in and lost ground, mustered to take a midfield role on rails, used little in run moving closer on circle on leaders back, stayed on in straight holding ground in run to line.
7 8 VIVA MACAU (CH110) Z Purton CP/TT Began nicely, slotted into 1 out 1 back spot, had run of race 3Ls back when pace slackened, close enough on turning, failed to show a turn of foot and struggled in run to line.
8 9 ART TRADER (CE131) E Saint-Martin TT No pace as usual and took expeded role 7Ls back racing 2 wide, pushed 3 wide on circle, last on turning and made no headway in straight. (Bled for 2nd time, retired.)
