1 3 BEAUTY JOY (E058) B Avdulla TT Settled nicely in midfield along the fence, into clear running 400M, stayed on best final 200M to take lead close home.
2 2 BEAUTY ETERNAL (H008) Z Purton -- Tracked leaders, driven along 500M, quickened up to lead them 200M out, just couldn't hold off winner late.
3 6 RED LION (H115) A Hamelin -- From draw 12 caught wide no cover chasing the pace, fought on well from 400M, not matched first two over final 200M but kept on determinedly to hold 3rd.
4 5 NIMBLE NIMBUS (E249) H Bentley V/TT Away well enough from draw 2, held up just behind midfield on settling, ran home evenly to claim 4th, just missed out on 3rd spot.
5 11 HAPPY TOGETHER (G446) A Badel H/TT Taken across from wide barrier, settled behind mid-division, 6Ls to make up 400M, ran on mildly for modest 5th.
6 10 TAJ DRAGON (H164) M Chadwick -- Jumped on terms, obtained an inner spot tracking the pace, held up early straight and unable to obtain clear running until near 150M, got home only fairly over final stages.
7 12 SUPER SUNNY SING (G319) A Atzeni TT Taken across from wide barrier, settled towards the rear, ran on only fairly passing 400M, never a threat to leaders.
8 4 SWORD POINT (G448) K C Leung CP Moved forward and emerged as leader passing 1000M, under siege 300M, driven but no extra final 150M.
9 8 HEALTHY HAPPY (D435) L Hewitson V/TT Up with early pace before taking up a position outside leader, fought hard early straight trying to gain the lead, ran on empty passing 200M and weakened away.
10 13 THE BEST PEACH (H139) L Ferraris TT Dropped back to race at the rear 9Ls, brought wide for home but gave limited response. Never a threat to much higher rated leaders.
11 1 RUSSIAN EMPEROR (E198) H Bowman SR Reserved near the rear 8Ls off the pace, couldn't pick up on straightening, no impression on leaders.
12 9 MONEY CATCHER (G171) K De Melo V Settled down in midfield further back than usual, couldn't go on passing 400M, soon weakened. (Jockey expressed concern with the manner in which his horse finished the race off.)
13 7 ENCOUNTERED (G236) K Teetan TT Caught racing 3-wide in midfield, dropped away passing 350M, quickly out of contention. (Jockey : no explanation for the disappointing run / Unacceptable Performance.)
