1 12 TURBO KING (CL320) B Prebble -- Within striking distance, moved up alongside leader nearing 400M, went head to head with that rival final 300M, gained upper hand nearing 50M and won decisively.
2 2 ROMANTIC CITY (CL023) Z Purton -- Sped to the front and led at a solid pace under restraint, was taken on passing 400M, dueled with the winner for 300M in straight, flattened nearing 50M while clear of the rest.
3 8 CHATER MIKADO (M100) D Whyte -- Settled in mid-division well covered, finished off well to claim 3rd but posed little threat to first two which drew clear.

5 7 CHEVALIER KING (CK289) D Beadman H Restrained to a 2-wide position behind midfield, difficult to settle down the back straight, taken widest in straight and stayed on. (Jockey and Trainer questioned re riding position.)
