1 2 BRILLIANT FLASH (CE042) O Doleuze B On fence and 6Ls down in 7th at 1200 M, hindered before turning 3-wide for home, ran on very strongly down the centre to lead in final strides.
2 9 STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) F Coetzee B 5Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at 1200 M, 4Ls back in 4th on straightening, picked up well to lead briefly inside final 50 M but headed in final strides.
3 12 DECAGONAL (CH244) W M Lai B/TT 2-wide and 3Ls back in 3rd at 1200 M, kicked on to lead 600 M out and 1L clear turning in, headed inside final 50 M and lost 2nd in shadows of post.
4 1 WONDERFUL BLESSING (CE198) B Prebble B/TT 8Ls back in 10th at 1200 M and much the same swinging for home out 4-deep, ran on well late, nearest at the finish.
5 11 BATURO (CH029) C W Wong B1 Nicely placed about 2Ls from the pace on fence in 2nd or 3rd until taking final turn, given every chance to place but could only stay on at same pace.
6 3 MARVELLOUS (CH026) E Saint-Martin B/TT Checked exiting gates, 7Ls back in 8th out 2-wide at 1200 M and only marginally closer off home bend, kept on without quickening.
7 8 SOHNA (CG183) D Beadman B 10Ls last at 1200 M and not much better when turning for home out widest (5-wide), made up only moderate ground late.
8 5 EMBRACES (CH175) A Delpech B1 Over-raced early on, in rear on fence about 8Ls or so from the lead until the home straight, made some late ground but posed no great threat.
9 7 THAT'S IT (CE223) Z Purton -- 4Ls down on fence in 4th at 1200 M, keen in places, same margin off in 5th swinging for home, very one-paced.
10 6 MIRACULOUS (CE115) P H Lo -- Pressed on out wide to lead on fence by 2Ls at 1200 M, slowed tempo and headed 600 M out, 1L down in 2nd off final turn, swamped at the 200 M.

12 10 MONTY (CH164) M Nunes B Midfield on fence about 5Ls back in 6th at the 1200 M, tight for room and unbalanced into home straight, closed off tamely.
