1 9 IT HAS TO BE YOU (N356) D Whyte -- Pressed on from a wide gate, crossed to sit outside leader, ideal run on speed, eyeballed leader turning and went 1L clear, dug in strongly last 200m to hold on.
2 13 SUPREME KNIGHT (L313) T Clark H/SR/TT Lacked early speed, raced 5-6Ls back on rails, not used to bend, took inside runs saving ground, finished strongly along rails to just miss out.
3 11 WRATH OF FIRE (L420) K C Leung -- Drifted back to settle a touch worse than midfield , 5-6Ls lengths back, not helped by standard tempo, came wide and unwound with a strong dash charging late to go down in a 3 way go.
4 14 PERFECT CHEERS (M341) C Y Ho B/TT Even getaway, sat just off pace 3Ls back, was difficult to settle and ended up in two wide line, produced for effort at 300m and closed off strongly just missing a place narrowly.
5 12 CALIFORNIA DUDE (N221) M Chadwick H1/TT Taken back from a tricky gate, settled at rear 6-7Ls back, still well back turning and in traffic, made run through horses and held up at 200m, charged late when clear and unlucky not to be closer.
6 7 NAVEL ORANGE (P035) T Angland -- Landed nice spot 4Ls away on rails, quiet time in mid-section, weaved passage clear at 250m and kept closing before being short of room late.
7 10 GENKI TWINS (N223) U Rispoli XB1 Took an ideal trail behind leader, enjoyed at easy time with even sections throughout, right there turning but just kept on behind them in straight to be not far away but never looked likely.
8 6 FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) A Suborics -- Landed a midfield role, 4Ls or so back in 2 wide line, enjoyed a quite trip to bend, came wider and made some moderate headway without threatening.
9 2 PRESIDENT LINCOLN (N267) Z Purton TT Went forward from wide gate, used a little to obtain a 1 out 1 back spot, all favours thereafter, right there turning but didn't find a great deal and folded final 200m.
10 5 CHEER (L277) K C Ng TT Unable to slot in and posted 3 wide without cover. Worked throughout, struggling turning and dropped off in straight.
11 4 MR BOND (M098) G Mosse -- Ended up well back from a wide alley, raced at rear 6 to 7Ls back, shared rear to bend and made no serious progress in straight.
12 1 OUTDOOR PEGASUS (L173) C Y Lui TT Showed early speed to take up running, set standard sections in front, worried by outside horse on bend, soon headed and dropped off.
13 8 SATIRICAL BOY (N439) R Fourie B1 Standard jump and unable to muster, raced 3 wide with cover in midfield 4-5Ls back, niggled turning and didn't show much pickup in straight.
14 3 FUN RIDER (CK231) Y T Cheng B No pace, ended up 3 wide at rear, best part of 7Ls back, still last and came wider turning, no real progress.
