1 2 MULTI MILLIONS (CD207) G Mosse SR Away well, slotted in nicely behind speed, raced 3Ls away on rails spending little in run, tightened a little on turn, re-gathered and on bridle on turning, drove into clear at 150 M and ridden out to take lead late and score strongly.
2 3 KOWLOON FIT (CE247) D Whyte -- Broke nicely, rolled across to assume position outside lead travelled well at leaders girth with no real speed on. Challenged on turn, hit lead into straight, fought strongly to hold off all but winner late.
3 5 ELEGANT KING PRAWN (CE265) N Ryan -- Fastest to break, used up a little to find front leaving straight, dictated terms 1L clear in middle section, still travelling well on turn, tackled on entering straight, tried hard not giving up but found top two a shade better.
4 4 GALLANT FALCON (CD194) F Coetzee TT Jumped with rest, allowed to settle in midfield, raced on rails 4-5Ls away, used little in middle stages, last position a little on turn, stuck to rails in straight, closed race off nicely making good ground to make the frame.
5 7 ABERDEEN (CE182) R Fradd H A little awkward at start and settled near to last, raced 2-wide 7Ls away in middle section, not asked until 600 M, began to circle with 3-wide run (had cover), 4 and 5-wide into straight, closed steadily but set too great a task.
6 6 ABLE KNIGHT (CE079) E Saint-Martin H/TT Left gates well, ridden up to hold prominent spot, raced behind leader with run of race throughout, travelled on bridle to turn, gained split on rails in straight but couldn't capitalise and kept same pace to line.
7 1 ADD THE FUN (CD308) H W Lai -- Away with rest, angled into midfield position, raced 2-wide 4Ls off pace, amongst horses on turn, hard ridden on turning in 3Ls down, couldn't find another gear and only held ground to line.
8 12 MEATH (CE143) A Delpech SR/V Jumped with them, slotted into prime position 1 out 1 back 2Ls back, had easy time in middle stages, tracked nicely on turn, angled out with well timed turn but struggled last 200 M and weakened late.
9 8 BRILLIANT FLASH (CE042) D Nikolic B Average to break and lost some ground when steadied, raced worse than midfield on rails 6-7Ls away, lobbed along near enough to last on turn, shifted out from behind runners but made no impression after giving big start.
10 11 SEASONS TREASURE (CB310) O Doleuze P Standard to begin, lacked early speed, positioned 2-wide behind midfield 6Ls from speed, still well back on turn, angled out and made some ground before being crowded at 200 M but race over by that point.
11 10 MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) P H Lo PC-/TT Began awkwardly and lost ground, settled at rear on rails 8Ls from front runners, lobbed along at tail throughout, still had field to beat on turn, came with run widest in straight but never a real factor.
12 9 ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) W M Lai B Jumped fairly, restrained to slot in to running line, unable to find cover, forced to race wide without cover 6-7Ls away, allowed to slide forward to be 3Ls down on turn. Hard run took toll and lost touch in straight.
