Spirit Of A Nation held up in rear, good headway on outside to lead approaching final furlong, edged right, ran on well
Astrodonna held up in rear, headway on inside when not clear run 2f, strong run and challenged just inside final furlong, stayed on same pace

Opus Maximus tracked leaders, not clear run and lost place 2f out, kept on well final furlong
Rossini´s Dancer held up in rear, stayed on well final furlong, nearest finish
Non Sucre with leaders, led 2f out, edged left and headed approaching final furlong, soon weakened
Admirals Way chased leaders, not much room approaching final furlong, kept on same pace approaching final furlong
Asian Lady held up in mid-division, effort over 2f out, never troubled leaders
Milton Of Campsie held up in rear, effort 2f out, staying on on inside when slightly hampered inside final furlong
Outside Edge chased leaders, not clear run inside final furlong
Atheer Dubai led until 2f out, weakened approaching final furlong
Astrodonna came out best of the rest and ran a solid race, while Flower, who raced keenly, stayed on at only one pace when the chips were down. She had worn headgear in her previous start, but it was left off here. Opus Maximus suffered a desperate run. Denied a clear passage from fully three furlongs out until very late in the day, he would probably have finished second with a clear run. Rossini's Dancer, keen to post, ran respectably, but was unable to land a telling blow. Non Sucre was comfortably held.
