1 11 UPSIDE OF ANGER (CH317) A Suborics B-/PC1 Rolled forward after start and took prominent spot from stable bend. Attacked the lead into final stretch and hit front 200 M. Ran away to score easily.
2 10 BEST NOODLE (CJ278) M Chadwick CP/TT Well enough away but was caught 4-wide. Slotted 2-wide behind midfield stable bend. Moved closer gradually from 700 M and was 4Ls down turning in. Dashed well to snatch 2nd near the post but was beaten far by the winner.
3 12 RAISING SUN (CK154) C W Wong -- Hard ridden early to take lead on fence from stable bend. Held a 1L advantage into home straight. Caught by the winner at 200 M. Hung on for 2nd until close home.
4 1 AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) D Whyte B Ahead of midfield on fence through to the home straight. Every chance but was one-paced to conclude.
5 2 FANTASTIC DANCER (CJ001) G Mosse V-/PC2/TT Settled on fence as backmarker. Moved out for clear run and was 8Ls down passing 400 M. Covered good ground thereafter without troubling the principals.
6 8 SLEEP WELL (CK036) Z Purton B/TT Caught 3 to 4-wide ahead of midfield through to the home straight. Out of petrol thereafter.
7 4 OLYMPICSHIP (CJ283) B Prebble B/TT Began fairly. Ridden for a better position but was forced to go 3-wide in midfield stable bend. Given reminder halfway but failed to progress. Ran on through tired runners late.
8 14 ROCKALOT (CH163) G Cheyne B/TT 3-wide towards rear early and middle stages. Some progress along the fence behind midfield from 700 M. No extra final 200 M.
9 6 GOLDEN BALL (CH128) O Doleuze B Niggled early to occupy a 2-wide spot at midfield. Never improved from there.
