1 5 TOMODACHI KOKOROE (H303) C Y Ho H/TT Led nearing 900M, set steady pace to straight, kicked on well when asked, gamely fought off the persistent 2nd over final stages.
2 11 KAHOLO ANGEL (H216) Z Purton TT Settled down in 4th, always close up to pace, came with a well-timed challenge passing 300M, tried hard but held by winner final stages.
3 10 TORONADO PHANTOM (E300) R King TT Jumped well from draw 1, soon restrained to race in mid-division, ran on steadily to take 3rd close home.
4 9 GAMEPLAYER ELITE (H356) J McDonald SR Close up behind leaders early before dropping back to settle in midfield, swung wide for home then kept on moderately for 4th.
5 4 SOLID IMPACT (E447) B Murzabayev B Dropped back on jumping from wide draw, raced at the rear 8Ls off the pace, closed off final 400M fastest to claim 5th but no serious threat to leaders.

8 12 SOLAR PARTNER (E364) R Moore TT Jumped fairly, reserved in a rearward spot, ran on fairly turning into straight, ran out of room late but was never going to be threatening.
