1 6 MR GENKI (CD184) F Coetzee TT Soon 2nd after disputing lead. Steadied at 1000 M as leader shifted to the fence when not clear. Ran on gamely in straight and held on to win comfortably after hitting front 200 M out.
2 3 SPOKESMAN (CD099) E Saint-Martin -- Towards rear. At least 6Ls back upon straightening. Made up good ground final 300 M to be nearest at finish but simply had too much to do.
3 7 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) O Doleuze B Very slowly away. Ridden forward from 1200 M but was still 7 to 8Ls down at 800 M. Saved ground along rail turning in. Shifted ground twice to find running after 300 M and made up good late ground to grab 3rd.
4 14 MYTHIC STEED (CD208) C Brown B/H Towards rear. Made up good ground final 200 M to just miss a place.
5 13 DEVON FLAIR (CD240) A Delpech V Pushed forward along rail. 4th or 5th from 1200 M. Steadied off heels at 700 M. Shifted out to find running in straight but got outsprinted for a minor placing final 100 M.
