1 2 CHAMPION KING (CE219) D Whyte -- 2-wide and 1L off pace at 1000 M in 2nd, about 2Ls down in 3rd taking home turn, picked up to lead with 250 M to race, driven out.
2 5 JOIN VICTORY (CD026) G Mosse B- 3-wide without cover after 900 M, never worse than 3Ls off pace in midfield until home straight, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, kept on well but winner was too strong.
3 1 FAST TRACK (CB375) O Doleuze P-/B2 2-wide and 4Ls off pace in 8th at 800 M, same margin back when 3-wide on straightening, a little closer at 200 M, kept finding but never likely to lead.
4 6 LIVERBIRD (CE055) S Dye CP- On fence about 4Ls off pace in 7th until home straight, stayed on fairly well on fence without seriously troubling the winner.
5 3 HAPPY KID (CC326) G Schofield SR Led very early on, settled 3-back the fence about 2Ls off pace from 900 M to home straight, over 1L down in 5th at 200 M but outpaced close home.
6 10 DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) C Munce B 2-wide and 3Ls or so off pace in midfield until entering homestretch, still in mid-division when 2Ls down at 200 M, never troubled principals.
7 8 A BETTER DRAGON (CC329) M Rodd SR 3-wide no cover until the 900 M when pressing on to lead on fence at 700 M by 1L, same margin clear taking home turn, headed 250 M out, drifted back.
8 7 JUSTINIAN (CB324) A Delpech B Led on fence at 1200 M, headed 800 M out and 1L down in 2nd and under pressure taking home turn, soon petered out.
9 9 WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) K S Yu -- Awkwardly away, head up at 1200 M and keen, always in rear on fence about 6Ls or 7Ls off pace, never on terms.
10 4 SUN AND ZAMEEN (CD391) C Brown -- Very slowly away losing about 4Ls on field, keen at 1000 M when 7Ls off pace in rear, never a factor.
