1 6 NOBLE DE BEST (CJ160) T Angland B/TT Away in line. Settled 2-wide behind midfield first turn. Progressed 3-wide and was 7Ls down passing 400M. Rallied on to score victory with some comfort.
2 8 EASY GOLD (L431) O Doleuze SR Soon found the fence at midfield after start. Finished off well home straight to snatch 2nd at post but no match with winner's kick.
2 11 JUGGERNAUT (CJ019) M Du Plessis B/XB Quickly into stride. Sat one-out-one-back 1300M. Driven 3-wide from home turn. Hit front 150M but failed to repel winner closing stages. Joined for a place at line.
4 1 JOYFUL WINNER II (M094) D Beadman B/H/TT Handy position to home turn. Peeled out to make run passing 500M. Every chance but lacked finishing touch of the front trio.
5 9 YUAN'S FORTUNE (L021) J Lloyd -- Towards rear to home straight. 8Ls away 350M. Covered good ground thereafter and nearly made frame.
6 10 EL GRANDE (L378) C Y Ho B Rolled forward after start and eventually parked outside leader 1300M. Shifted to the fence and raced behind pace home turn. Plugged on home straight without seriously threatening the principals.

10 5 EASY AHEAD (CK212) T H So V Led on fence from 1300M. Held a 2Ls advantage turning into home. Weakened final furlong.
