1 4 DR POSSIBLE (CJ110) D Whyte -- Average break, travelled one-off the fence in mid-division, found plenty when cleared 350 M, in charge 100 M out and won going away.
2 3 COOL CAT (CH330) K C Leung B Took up the running, quickened in the middle stages and built up a 2Ls lead going into the straight, kept on well but was firmly put aside by the fast finishing winner 100 M out.
3 9 NAPA II (CJ248) O Doleuze -- Slow into stride and held up in the rear, 7Ls down turning in, gradually picked up down the inside and closed right in on the 2nd late on. Encouraging debut.
4 13 FOREST STAR (CJ167) M Chadwick TT Behind mid-division, 3-wide on the turn covered extra ground, ran on ok from off the pace but came too late to threaten the first three.
5 2 REGENCY KINGDOM (CK031) F Coetzee TT First to jump, drifted back to midfield and raced 4Ls back on the fence, under urging from 500 M, couldn't step up a gear when required despite having no clear run from 300 M to 200 M.
6 7 HIGH RETURN (CK164) B Prebble SR1 Average jump, one off the fence in a position behind midfield 7Ls off the pace, took some time to get going but stayed on ok towards the line.
7 8 MASTER RIO (CK188) Z Purton -- Jumped well, ideally placed in 3rd, kept on in the first half the straight and showed some battling qualities, but effort flattened passing 150 M.
8 1 SOU MA TAM (CH253) C Soumillon B Hard ridden early to go forward and raced one out one back from leader, responded fairly under urge before weakening inside 150 M.
9 10 QUANTUM EXPRESS (CK166) Y T Cheng -- In a handy position early, lost some speed and shuffled back near 600 M, plugged on under pressure but found not much in reserves passing 200 M.
10 14 MATSUKAZE (CK150) J Winks B Began awkwardly and lost ground, settled towards the rear in a 3-wide running position, taken very wide to make his challenge on straightening but never looked likely.
11 6 GRANDFIELD (CJ250) M W Leung -- Lost ground at the start, held inside running in a position behind midfield 6 to 7Ls back, unable to quicken when the race got serious. No impression.
12 11 SPEEDY TYCOON (CK107) M Du Plessis H1/TT1 Showed little pace in his debut and was struggling to keep up passing 800 M, trailed the field and gave no response to pressure.
13 5 GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) E Saint-Martin -- Began well but eased back to a midfield position making the home turn, struggled to pick up when asked and faded out from 200 M. (Irregular Heart Rhythm.)
14 12 TIBIDABO (CK008) C Williams CP1 Drifted back from a wide barrier, unable to cross and was caught very wide over the turn, soon left behind passing 300 M.
