1 6 MR ENERGIA (J239) Z Purton B Away well enough, restrained to race behind midfield 3-4Ls back, picked up strongly passing 400M, hit the front mid-straight and kept going to win by a good margin.
2 11 BLAZING WIND (J157) R Kingscote B/TT Jumped on terms, moved up to 3rd spot entering home turn, took over briefly early straight but soon headed by the fast finishing winner, kept on steadily final 200M to hold 2nd.
3 5 GIANT LEAP (J143) B Avdulla B Began well, settled ahead of midfield along the 3-path, stayed on steadily over final 400M for 3rd.
4 12 FATAL BLOW (J484) M Chadwick B/TT1 From wide draw hard driven forward, vied for lead on outside making the turn, briefly led early straight but soon overtaken by first three, plodded on for 4th.
5 7 NEW FOREST (K094) L Hewitson TT Fast away, led early stages until near 800M, still in touch with leaders rounding home turn but ran home one-paced.
6 3 GUMMY GUMMY (H089) L Ferraris B Away in line, tracked pace early before drifting back to midfield middle stages, driven along 450M but couldn't go with the leaders, soon out of contention.
7 4 SOLID SHALAA (H228) E C W Wong B/TT From draw 2 obtained a rail spot close enough to leaders, unbalanced 750M when crowded by rival, couldn't sustain run passing 300M, weakened away. (Lame RF leg.)
8 10 SUGAR SUGAR (G016) K De Melo TT Given a patient ride after the jump, drifted back and raced at the rear on settling, couldn't make up ground on straightening. Never threatened.
9 1 MUST GO (J133) H Bowman E/PC/TT Allowed to drift back and settled towards the rear, 4Ls off leader at 400M, ran on one paced and unable to proceed forward between 200M and 100M when held up behind rivals.
