1 11 SILVER GRECIAN (L323) D Beadman XB/TT Standard getaway, regathered to be in midfield 4Ls back, had an easy time in mid section, angled clear soon after turning, produced decent finish under hard riding for a strong win.
2 1 FAT CHOY OOHLALA (L250) K C Ng B Faded back as usual, ended up 6ls back in running line, not helped by slow speed, improved wide turning, produced a strong burst making many lengths in straight, ducked in late and narrowly missed.
3 10 FAMILISTS (M102) K C Leung H Showed speed to take up spot outside leader, had brief look for lead early, challenged again when speed went on at 500m, in mix to shadows of the post.
4 6 NATIONAL TREASURE (CK362) D Whyte -- Plenty of early speed to take up running, set even sections early, had to wind up speed with pressure from 400m, kept fighting and just missed a place late.
5 2 SAPELLI (CK191) O Doleuze -- Drifted back from outside alley, raced 2 and 3 wide at rear, 6Ls or so away at rear, always well back to bend, produced usual honest close to be nearest on line.
6 12 STRAIGHT FORWARD (L100) G Cheyne CP/TT Went back from an awkward draw, raced 5-6Ls back on rails, kept improving turning, made steady progress to be closest at finish.
7 9 MARK UP (CK247) P Strydom -- Positioned just off midfield 4-5Ls back, in running line throughout, made some minor progress without threatening.
8 4 AMIGO (CK358) W C Marwing -- Well enough away, planted 3 wide without cover 2Ls back, improved on circle and made an early challenge at 400m, spent force by 200m and faded.
9 3 PURE CHAMPION (M178) B Prebble TT Away nicely, took ideal spot 1 out 1 back, all favours in run, ridden along turning but left flat footed and just whacked away in straight.
10 8 ZAIDAN (M234) J Lloyd CP1 Didn't have much early speed, raced 3 wide midfield or worse 5Ls away, had cover but niggled along turning, didn't show turn of foot in straight and just struggled to line.
11 7 VITALITY EXPRESS (L364) T Angland B/TT Began well, ideally positioned on leaders back, always there and didn't work with steady sections, unsuited when they sprinted and gradually lost touch final 400m.
