1 11 STRATHPEFFER (H095) L Hewitson B Stayed close to leaders in 4th, responded well when asked early straight, vied for lead with rival final 200M and just prevailed at the finish.
2 7 LEGEND ST PAUL'S (J507) K C Leung CP1/TT1 Jumped only fairly, moved up to chase leader, quickened up well 300M to be vying for lead, fought neck to neck with rival all the way to the finish. Just denied.
3 3 FASHION LEGEND (J080) A Atzeni XB1/TT Settled ahead of midfield, close enough behind leaders top of straight, went 3rd 150M, tried hard but couldn't get closer to first two.
4 12 YOU'REMYEVERYTHING (E413) K Teetan -- Jumped on terms, restrained to race in mid-division along the fence, worked home steadily final 400M to take 4th but not reached first two.
5 4 NEBRASKAN (J304) B Avdulla PC Soon led and set a good tempo to straight, headed inside 300M and drifted out of contention.
6 5 JUBILANT WINNER (J346) Z Purton CP/TT From draw 12 taken across to a 2-wide position behind midfield, kept on fairly passing 400M, couldn't launch a serious challenge.
7 8 GOLD MASTER (J389) C Y Ho B Switched off to race towards the rear of the field, into clear 400M, made some progress without threatening leaders.
8 1 RUN RAN RUN (J108) M Chadwick B2/TT Obtained a midfield position 3-4Ls away, had no clear running from 400M to 200M but lacked a finishing response late stages.
9 2 SUNNY DA BEST (J118) K De Melo TT Chased leader 2-wide, couldn't quicken enough passing 400M, faded final 200M. (Jockey : his mount over-raced when positioned outside the leader.)
10 10 QINGYUAN STAR (J350) C L Chau CP/TT From wide draw restrained to race towards the rear, 6Ls to make up on leaders 400M but couldn't muster any sort of challenge in the straight.
11 14 FIGHT TIME (H409) A Badel B From draw 6 ended up racing 3-wide without cover ahead of midfield, pushed along nearing 500M but failed to improve position, soon no threat to leaders. (Jockey : disadvantaged by racing wide without cover.)
12 6 DEAL COMPLETED (J378) H Bentley B/TT Failed to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position, caught wide no cover in midfield until 1000M, outpaced by rivals passing 300M. Soundly beaten.
13 9 SKY DEEP (K041) L Ferraris -- Slow to begin, settled near last, couldn't keep up with rivals 600M, soon beaten.
14 13 MASTER STROKE (J036) B Thompson -- Dropped back from wide draw, 7Ls off the pace 400M, gave no response, eased when no chance. Finished tailed out on the third consecutive occasion. (Jockey : not satisfied with the horse's action over final 200M.)
