1 2 FAY FAY (CL284) D Whyte -- Restrained to find cover, raced 3 wide behind midfield, enjoyed a good trail into race, came 4 wide turning and let down strongly at 250m, dashed too well and drew away for another commanding win.
2 7 SEMOS (M125) T Angland B/TT1 Ended up well back from a tricky alley, 8Ls or so away on rails, aided by tempo but set a task turning, weaved a passage between horses making good ground late before inconvenienced, still able to take 2nd late.
3 6 HELENE SPIRIT (M310) M Du Plessis TT Out in line, ended up 6Ls away in midfield, crept closer approaching bend, worked into clear with a good run, kept on well but lost 2nd placing final 50m.
4 5 DRAGON FIGHTER (CL260) M L Yeung -- Away ok, raced 3Ls or so away on rails, had a quiet run to bend, in mix most of straight before drifting late and bumping, lost place final 50m.
5 4 TURF EXPRESS (CL399) G Mosse TT Began nicely, angled into 1 out 1 back spot, even run with decent speed on, no excuse to bend, loomed up at 300m but no dash thereafter and stayed on before dropping off late.
6 12 SAME WORLD (N098) D Beadman H1 No speed, raced 3 and 4 wide at rear, nearly 9Ls away in run, got on eventual winner's back rounding bend, peaked on run but kept on ok for first up effort.
7 1 JUST FANTASTIC (CL291) K C Ng H Pressed forward to eventually take up running, set decent tempo in front, 1L clear turning, there to 200m before fading out.
8 13 RICH TAPESTRY (N011) J Lloyd B-/SR No early speed, settled at rear 8-9Ls back, raced 2 and 3 wide on bend, had job to do but just passed the weakening brigade late.
9 3 HOT SHOT (CL289) C Y Ho TT Went forward to take a spot first outside leader, did some work with decent speed on, 1L down turning, didn't have much left at 300m and weakened out.
10 8 KING OF REASON (M154) N Callan H Planted 3 wide without cover in midfield, did some work with speed on, 5Ls back to bend, kept coming to his credit but emptied at 200m.
11 9 KING AL AKBAR (CK381) O Doleuze H Standard break, raced 7Ls away behind midfield in mid section, difficult to settle despite even trip to bend, ordinary closing effort in stretch.
12 14 REAL SUPREME (CL247) T H So B/TT Pressed forward and retained early lead, took a trail heading down back, did a bit on decent speed, in traffic turning but was disapointing when clear and dropped out tamely.
13 10 HELENE WITTY (CL228) M Chadwick TT Slow into stride from wide gate, settled with last few on rails, best part of 10Ls back to bend, made no serious progress.
14 11 NEW GREENFIELD (M282) M Barzalona XB-/B1/TT1 Settled in midfield 4-5Ls back in run, no excuses to bend, dropped out easily to beaten a fair way.
