1 5 LIGHTNING BOLT (G130) Z Purton TT In touch with leaders, switched wide from 450M to challenge, responded well and ran on willing to lead near 50M.
2 7 SUGAR SUGAR (G016) H Bowman B/TT In midfield early stages, wide no cover from 700M chasing leaders, hit lead 250M, caught by winner 50M. Clear from remainders.
3 3 GALLANT WAKING (G165) C Y Ho XB Jumped fairly, held up in midfield, driven top of straight, stayed on to go 3rd 100M out, not reach first two.
4 10 STREET CONQUEROR (H341) K Teetan TT Dropped back, settled towards the rear, swung wide into straight, ran on mildly to claim non-threatening 4th close home.
5 4 JOLLY RULER (E346) H Bentley B-/H Tracked leader on inside, lacked a strong finishing effort on straightening, never a threat to leaders.
6 12 OUR LUCKY GLORY (G292) M Chadwick SR/TT Reserved near the rear, saved ground on inside, stayed on without threatening.
7 8 SWIFT ASCEND (H395) L Hewitson XB1 Driven to lead, pressed by rival middle stages, headed 250M, faded towards the finish. (Jockey reminded to fully ride out to the finish)

9 1 NOT USUAL STAR (G396) C L Chau H/TT Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, settled at the rear further back than intended, shifted out top of straight to challenge, checked 150M before making limited progress to the line.
10 11 GALLANT CROWN (D359) M L Yeung B Jumped only fairly, chased leaders, struggled to keep up 450M, soon out of contention.
11 2 ORIENTAL SMOKE (E467) L Currie B Positioned in midfield, came under pressure 600M out, already a spent force turning for home.
12 9 AORAKI SUMMIT (H300) A Atzeni CP1 From widest gate caught wide no cover early stages, ridden forward to race outside the lead, badly unbalanced 300M when crowded for room, weakened.
