1 10 POWER KOEPP (E301) J Moreira E Slightly slow out and checked shortly after, settled in rear of the field some 3L back early stages, travelled keenly behind runners from 600 metres out, responded well inside final 200 metres to snatch victory on the line.
2 6 SEVEN HEAVENS (B089) B Shinn TT Settled some 2L off the pace on stands rails in 7th, baulked behind runners after coming onto course proper until obtained a clear run on stands rails inside final 150 metres, quickened well only to be pipped at post.
3 1 METRO WARRIOR (D387) C Y Ho B Gained narrow running from a middle barrier gradually shifting closer to stands rails, came under pressure to hold place in 2nd coming onto course proper, unable to peg back first two close to home.
4 2 RUN RUN COOL (E322) Z Purton PC Jumped awkwardly settling just off the pace, gained slightly closer to join the leaders onto course proper, unable to sustain effort close to home.
5 4 PING HAI GALAXY (C377) V Borges -- Jumped well to share the pace alongside stands rails, hit the front under pressure inside the 400 metres, unable to sustain effort and swamped 100 metres out.
6 7 SUMMIT CHEERS (E221) L Currie TT Pressed forward from the one gate to join the leaders, lost position inside the 250 metres but kept on steadily to the line.
7 3 ALCARI (A354) K Teetan -- Settled not far off the pace, lost position coming onto course proper, fought on steadily down the centre of the track without threatening.
8 5 HIGH RISE SOLDIER (C511) A Hamelin PC Settled some 2L off the pace near the centre of the track, came under pressure inside the final 300 metres, fought on steadily without threatening.
9 8 CALIFORNIA FOREST (E475) L Ferraris H/TT Soon dropped to the last, trailed the field most of the way in the centre of the track, never nearer.
10 9 JUMBO GOAL (G309) L Hewitson -- Jumped awkwardly bumping others, settled some 2L off the pace most of the way until giving ground over 250 metres out.
