1 10 DOUBLE SHOW (G250) H Bentley B/TT Away on terms, settled in second half of the field, quickened up well on straightening, swept to the lead final stages to win going away.
2 2 SPEEDY FORTUNE (H097) A Atzeni P-/TT1 Shifted in abruptly on jumping, raced handily behind the runaway leader, worked into the race well inside 300M but unable to hold off the fast finishing winner final stages.
3 1 PARENTS' LOVE (H405) Z Purton H/TT Unable to slot in from draw 9, maintained a midfield spot but raced wide and without cover to the straight, kept on steadily under top weight but not going the pace of first two final stages.
4 6 DIAMOND SOARS (G201) C L Chau P-/TT Prominent as always, chased runaway leader, stuck to task fairly well early straight before out-finished by first two late stages, just missed out 3rd spot.
5 4 GOOD VIEW GLORY (H154) B Avdulla B Maintained a midfield position along the inside, ran home one paced and never able to challenge leaders.
6 9 MAGIC TRAVELLER (H102) M L Yeung CP/TT Jumped only fairly, settled towards the rear, swung wide for home before staying on fairly over final 300M. Never dangerous.
7 3 ACE TALENT (H046) H Bowman H/P/TT Away with them, restrained to a midfield position, 4-5Ls to make up on leader 400M but found disappointingly little. (Jockey reported his horse lay out throughout the race / Mucus.)
8 8 GOODMANSHIP (E208) K Teetan B/TT Settled towards the rear, pushed along nearing 400M but lacked a finishing response.
9 7 PLENTIFUL (G400) L Ferraris CP/H/XB Rushed forward from wide draw, opened up a sizable lead middle stages, couldn't last passing 200M, weakened rapidly final stages.
10 5 LAPRAS (H374) K De Melo CP/TT Jumped only fairly, ended up racing in last, failed to respond on straightening. Never in the picture.
