1 5 MEDICO (CH075) Z Purton -- 3-back on fence about 3Ls back in 5th at 1400 M, 2Ls down at top of stretch and stayed on well inside final 200 M to lead inside final few strides.
2 3 EYSHAL (CJ099) D Beadman B/TT 2-wide just behind the speed in 3rd, edged out wider at 600 M and led at top of home straight, looked the winner at 250 M but overhauled inside last 30 M.
3 2 FEARLESS (CH301) G Mosse B On fence 5Ls off speed in 7th at 1400 M, making headway when checked at 300 M, kept on for a place but had little hope with quinella pair.
4 6 GALLANT CHAMPION (CJ002) B Prebble CP Ridden prominently in 2nd out 2-wide at 1400 M, same turning for home, didn't have much left when tempo quickened and lost a place 100 M out.
5 4 WIN PRACTITIONER (CG180) O Doleuze B 6Ls back out 2-wide in 8th at 1400 M, improving off last bend but could only make very minor ground in the last section.
6 8 JAMESINA (CH290) D Whyte CP/TT 3-wide early, taken back for cover at 1200 M and forced 4-wide no cover at 600 M when pressing forward, run died soon after straightening.
7 10 DASH AHEAD (CD199) H W Lai SR Quietly ridden as usual, 7Ls back at 1400 M, closer but came wide at 600 M, 6-wide (widest of all) turning in but rather one-paced to conclude.
8 1 AGILITY (CC361) B Doyle XB Squeezed at start, 8Ls last at 1400 M, 5-wide and 4Ls down swinging for home couldn't find an extra gear and held 200 M out.
9 9 POWER DRIFTER (CJ332) M Du Plessis B1/TT Crossed to lead by 1L on fence at 1600 M, a neck clear for most of back straight but headed before home straight and soon swamped.
10 7 FLYING TAMARI (CG151) W M Lai -- 4Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at 1400 M, a little closer wheeling for home but sorely lacking in acceleration.
