1 1 AKEED MOFEED (P125) D Whyte XB Settled well in midfield early stages, pushed to 3-wide when pace slackened 1300M, moved strongly into contention near 400M, quickened to lead 150M, in control after.
2 14 ENDOWING (N371) D Dunn B Held up midfield along the fence early, moved closer to track leaders when pace slackened in middle stages, challenged strongly passing 300M, battled on to go 2nd near the line.
3 3 GOLD-FUN (P045) O Doleuze CP Guided into a 2-wide position just behind leaders, pushed to 3-wide 1300M when pace slackened, led 300M-150M, battled on when winner got past, lost 2nd near line.
4 10 RAINBOW CHIC (P118) B Prebble -- Settled towards the rear on inner, moved closer nearing 800M, held up early straight, chased leaders from 300M, kept on to the line but was always held.
5 13 POETIC JUSTICE (P182) G Mosse H/XB/TT Slow to begin, held up off the pace in last pair, ridden out near 450M, switched widest and closed off well to be closest at finish.
6 2 AUTUMN GOLD (P044) R Moore SR Taken across to the rails soon after the start, settled inside of last pair 6Ls off the pace, had no clear passage turning in, guided to clear from 300M and stayed on.
7 5 PRESIDENT LINCOLN (N267) M Chadwick TT Reserved in midfield along the 2-path, lacked an immediate response inside 400M, made some late headway but never reached leaders.
8 12 BEST SHOW (N438) Z Purton V/TT1 Not hurried in early stages, held up towards the rear, ran on fairly when driven 400M, hung in under pressure mid-straight, never a serious threat.
9 6 ASHKIYR (P151) W C Marwing -- From draw 13 crossed to a 3-wide position towards the rear, found less than expected when driven out passing 400M, flattened final 100M.
10 4 IT HAS TO BE YOU (N356) T Clark -- Caught 3-wide without cover in midfield, pushed wider 1300M then strode forward to join leaders, checked 250M, no extra mid-straight and weakened.
11 7 WAH MAY STAR (M254) C Williams -- Always In touch, hampered by the slackening pace down the back straight, outpaced passing 400M, never dangerous after.
12 11 ALBICELESTE (P273) T Angland H/TT Positively ridden early stages, tracked pace from 1500M, ranked alongside leader 1000M, failed to pick up when pressed inside 400M, weakened right out.
13 9 JUN GONG (N325) Y T Cheng CP Sent forward, went 2Ls clear entering back straight then slowed down the pace, pressed by rivals from 1000M, had little left turning home, soon beaten and faded.
