1 10 GOLD CHEST (C146) K C Leung CP-/TT1 Jumped on terms, chased leaders 2-wide, loomed up early straight, quickened to lead 250M, kept on well closing stages to hold off a late challenge.
2 2 FAST MOST FURIOUS (A165) C Y Ho H Settled behind midfield in 7th place, 5Ls off leader making home turn, worked home strongly down the straight, nearest finish.
3 8 BEAUTY SPIRIT (B409) H T Mo CP/TT Bustled along to be chasing leaders, couldn't quicken as well as the winner from 400M but fought on under hands and heels riding to take 3rd.
4 9 MONGOLIAN KING (A098) L Hewitson -- Switched off to race towards the rear, 6Ls to make up 400M, ran on well to claim 4th near the post.
5 11 PLAYA DEL PUENTE (C492) J Moreira SR1/TT1 Given a waiting ride near the rear, just over 6Ls off the pace top of straight, stayed on well towards the line. Encouraging debut.

8 4 KING OPIE (B034) G van Niekerk V Slow away, recovered to race behind midfield, brought wide 400M to challenge, ran on only fairly, no threat to leaders. (Jockey unable to explain disappointing performance.)
9 5 EASY GO EASY WIN (B112) Z Purton B/XB/TT- Dropped back to race towards the rear, wide on straightening, ran on only fairly. (Jockey : hung out for majority of the race and made abnormal breathing noises.)

11 3 BUTTERFIELD (C462) B Shinn TT1 Travelled keenly in midfield, lay out home turn, kept on same pace on straightening, faded final 200M.
