1 6 AOMEN (N008) D Whyte B Good early speed to hold prominent spot behind leader, had even run on the speed with decent tempo, put into race at 300m and dashed strongly, drew away to score easily.
2 1 NOBLE ALPHA (M339) M Zahra -- Ended up 3 wide behind midfield 6Ls back, aided by solid tempo, came 4 wide leaving bend and produced a solid last 400m to take 2nd.
3 2 SILVER GRECIAN (L323) B Prebble SR-/XB-/TT Taken back to race in rearward spot, raced 7Ls back in running line, improved on turn but had job to do swinging widest turning, closed well late for a placing.
4 7 FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) A Suborics -- Out in line, trapped 3 wide and pressed on, posted without cover from 1200m 1L back, loomed with a challenge at 400m and looked a place chance to furlong but hard run took toll.
5 12 I SMELL MONEY (M019) T H So -- Showed speed to roll forward and take up running, kept a decent tempo throughout with attention from outside horse, headed at 250m and couldn't find extra dropping off late.
6 14 CARTOON FAY FAY (N014) W Pike B Began well, pushed up into nice spot 1 out 1 back, did a little on decent speed, still there turning but lacked dash final 300m and just whacked away late.
7 13 RIO WILLIE (N087) T Clark B Even break, raced on rails 4Ls or so back, quiet time throughout appreciating speed, not much acceleration in straight just kept on at same pace.
8 8 EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) W M Lai H/CP Slowly away and soon at rear, best part of 8ls back on rails, tracked up turning and closed off ok late although never looked likely.
9 9 KING OF REASON (M154) M Du Plessis H-/P2 Showed speed from a wide gate to look for close up spot, 3 wide without cover until found leaders girth at 1200m, did work on fast speed, struggling turning when workload took toll and faded.
10 3 SUPER PISTACHIO (L099) M Chadwick H/TT Pressed on to take a spot near front, assumed 1 out 1 back trail by 1200m, always right there doing a bit on decent pace, found little when pressure applied and dropped out in straight.
11 11 HELENE WITTY (L228) K C Leung TT Average break, raced behind midfield 5-6Ls back in running line, same margin back turning, no extra and beaten a long way. (Lame next day.)
12 10 MY HOME TOWN (CH331) M L Yeung -- Unable to slot in and ended up 3 wide in midfield, 3-4Ls back with cover, produced for effort turning but that was short lived and dropped right out
13 5 ALL ROUND (N222) O Doleuze -- Settled on rails just off midfield, 5Ls back in run, struggling approaching bend, found nothing.
14 4 CHEETAH BOY (L192) Z Purton B/H Lacked any pace and was soon at rear, raced 3 wide 8Ls or so back, never looked a factor and was beaten a long way.
