2 3 FERRO BEAU (CG244) C K Tong -- Standard jump, ended up racing behind midfield 4 to 5Ls back on rails, didn't use a lot to bend, angled wide on turning, steadied at 300 M, dashed sharply from 200 M to just miss.
3 5 ENCHANTED (CE065) O Doleuze SR-/TT1 Began well, took a more prominent role behind leader, had reasonable run once pace slackened, still right there turning, took a run at 200 M and made good ground late to take place.

5 7 GILDED FLIGHT (CH294) K T Yeung -- No early pace and was taken back from a wide gate, ended up 3 wide at rear 6Ls from top end, not helped when pace backed off on circle, made many lengths from rear in straight to finish a strong 5th.

10 8 MARIACHI (CH190) G Boss SR/TT Out in line, positioned in a midfield spot 4Ls away in running line, travelled well throughout, in traffic on turning but unable to lift a gear from 300 M and just held ground late when conditions gave out.
