1 3 DR GOOD HABIT (N300) M Demuro TT Caught 3-wide no cover down the back-straight, strolled forward passing 800M to join leaders, led 450M out, fought off a challenge 150M, kept finding extra in the run home.
2 4 RADIANT BUNNY (S418) Z Purton -- Up with pace early, 3Ls back in 5th making the turn for home, closed off soundly on straightening, nearest finish.
3 5 COLOSSUS (T170) H Bowman H1 Held up in midfield about 5Ls behind leaders, saved ground along the inside, driven 500M, ran on steadily. Encouraging debut.
4 2 CHATER LEGEND (T151) M Guyon -- Guided to a 3-wide spot in midfield 5Ls off the pace, made steady progress over final 300M for a never nearer 4th. (Jockey suspended for not riding out all the way to the end)
5 8 OUR GENERATION (S248) N Callan XB Began awkwardly, held up towards the rear 6Ls behind leaders, closed off final 400M well and made late impression on leaders.
6 7 TRAVEL RENYI (S394) J Moreira H-/TT Sat 3-4Ls off the pace, lacked a turn of foot to challenge leaders when driven 450M, stayed on moderately towards the line.
7 13 ULTIMATE GLORY (S235) K C Leung -- Settled 2Ls back in the group chasing leaders, quickened up smartly to challenge eventual winner 300M, dueled to 150M, run ended and weakened to 7th.
8 6 MODERN TSAR (S167) N Rawiller TT Held up in mid-division, bustled along 550M, stayed on moderately, lacked room near 150M, angled out and kept on without threat to leaders.
9 11 MIGHTY EQUUS (P112) C Y Lui B Driven forward, tracked leader from 1000M, not mustered the pace to challenge in straight, held 3rd until 200M, faded towards finish.
10 14 TERRIFIC MASTER (P436) K C Ng TT Unbalanced at start, dropped back to a rearward position 6-7Ls off the pace, made some progress past beaten horses but never seriously threatened.
11 12 STRATHEARN (S387) K Teetan B Settled near rear 7-8Ls off the pace, plenty to make up passing 400M, stayed on only fairly in straight and never reached contention.
12 1 BERLINI (P359) D Whyte H 3-wide towards the rear, travelled keenly early stages, driven passing 400M but could not offer the necessary response.
13 9 THUNDER FLYER (N132) B Prebble H/TT Up with early pace, took sole lead 1000M, came under pressure inside 600M when taken on by rival, weakened rapidly mid-straight. (Blood in trachea. / Unacceptable Performance)
14 10 YOUNG WATCHMAN (T003) M Chadwick B1/H1/TT1 Dropped back from 14, failed to muster speed despite ridden along, detached in last over 10Ls off the pace, never involved.
