1 1 WIN PRACTITIONER (CG180) C Y Ho TT At rear on fence to home turn. Swung widest and was 5Ls down turning into home. Rallied on to come on top near the post.
2 5 GLORY OF INDIA (CK130) J Lloyd TT Tracked the leading section on fence to home straight. Kept giving through runners for 2nd but no match with the winner's turn of foot closing stages.
3 4 HELENE WITTY (CL228) M Chadwick TT Soon led on fence. Held a 1L advantage final 200M but failed to repel the front pair final stages.
4 7 OWNERS' GLORY (CL391) Z Purton B Behind midfield on fence. Took inside run on straightening. One-paced to conclude.
5 2 MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) C K Tong B/H 2-wide at rear early and middle stages. Improved gradually 3-wide making home turn. 4Ls away turning in. Made headway steadily thereafter.
6 8 CLASSIC BOY (CL425) M Du Plessis H One-off behind leader to home straight. Plugged on but lacked extra gear to threaten the principals.
7 3 ALMIGHTY WINDPOWER (CL272) B Doyle B 2-wide at midfield early. Shifted 3-wide back straight. Ridden approaching home turn but only held ground. Out of contention final 200M (substantial amount of blood in horse's trachea).
8 6 HAPPY SEVEN (CK155) B Prebble B 2-wide towards rear. Nothing to offer when asked home straight. Faded final 250M.
