1 5 AEROVELOCITY (P069) Z Purton B/TT Bounded in the air as the start was effected, 6Ls away at the rear and travelled much further back than usual, had a smooth run down the inside entering straight, made strong headway to get up near line.
2 11 SUPER JOCKEY (P195) K Teetan -- Strode forward, crossed to the lead before home turn, given a breather home turn, quickened again 400M, kept on well but shifted out badly under pressure final 100M, headed close home.
3 10 SMART VOLATILITY (P049) Y T Cheng -- From draw 10 shifted across to a 3-wide position behind runners, pushed very wide 600M, hit the line strongly for a close 3rd. Creditable run in defeat.
4 1 ABLE FRIEND (P303) N Rawiller CP Reserved in a rearward position 4-5Ls off the pace, bid wide 600M, quickened up well to go 2nd inside 300M, loomed a serious threat but effort flattened final 100M.
5 7 GOLDEN HARVEST (N236) N Callan TT Settled 3Ls back in midfield, held up behind a wall of horses entering straight, switched out to clear 250M, finished off well to claim 5th and should have been closer.
6 6 BUNDLE OF JOY (P180) B Prebble -- Went forward as expected, tracked the pace 2-wide, ran on same pace when driven 400M, caught up by pursuing rivals 250M, faded towards line.
7 3 CHARLES THE GREAT (N171) D Whyte SR/TT Taken back behind runners from widest draw, settled at the rear 6Ls off the pace, ran on only fairly final 400M, never reached contention.
8 4 FREDERICK ENGELS (N187) C Reith TT Held up behind midfield, kept on at the same pace when the race got serious inside 400M, no impression on leaders.
9 8 BULLISH FRIEND (N333) M Chadwick H/TT Began awkwardly, stayed within striking distance behind leaders, could not muster the pace to challenge inside 400M, soon weakened.
10 2 STERLING CITY (N152) J Moreira -- Travelled in midfield 3-wide, no cover from 800M, found disappointingly little when asked turning home, gave ground 200M.
11 9 GO BABY GO (N033) T H So -- Tracked leaders in 3rd, had little left turning home, soon beaten, eased towards the line.
