1 4 BROTHERS IN ARMS (CJ070) W C Marwing CP Showed speed, took sit behind leaders, had every hope in run, 2 to 3Ls back on turning, responded well to hard riding to drive up and take lead at 100 M, scored with a bit in hand.
2 12 SMART CHOICE (CK368) T H So -- Lost ground at jump, mustered to race 3 wide behind speed 3 to 5Ls off pace, had cover to bend, switched wider turning in, did best work late to snare 2nd.
3 11 CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) M Du Plessis BO Fair beginning, raced midfield 4 to 5Ls away, improved 3 wide on turning, made gradual headway in straight, just lost 2nd late.
4 5 POS TRUMPS (CH295) K C Leung BO No early pace, ended up well back on fence, 6 to 7Ls off speed, used little to bend, switched out to middle turning, made some late headway to make frame.
5 6 LUCKY PRINCE (CK285) M Chadwick TT Amongst first few to break, pressed on and took up lead, raced 2Ls clear throughout, kicked on turning and kept on to 100 M before run ended.
6 3 SILENT DRAGON (CG200) C W Wong CP/XB Began well, unable to slot in and forced to travel 3 wide without cover, 2Ls back, used too much in mid-section, spent force by 200 M.
7 2 GLENEALY ELITE (CJ034) B Prebble B/XB Standard jump, ridden up to hold spot 3Ls back tracking speed, fair run to bend, moved wide on turning, lacked a pick up and just battled late (reluctant to stride out).
8 10 MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) S K Sit -- Moderate beginning, ended up 4 wide behind midfield 6Ls back, always working wide without cover, ran out of petrol at 300 M when hard run took toll.
9 1 MAGIC SWEEP (CH299) D Whyte B Out in line, faded back from an awkward alley, ended up 3 wide 7Ls back sharing rear, had cover to bend, lacked usual close and made no impression late.
10 8 WELL NOTED (CG313) Z Purton B-/PC2/TT Standard jump, settled in midfield, had every hope 3 to 4Ls off lead, lacked pick up in straight and struggled to line. (Blood in trachea.)
11 7 TAIJI SPIRIT (CD185) B Doyle V/TT Slow into stride, settled further back then usual 7Ls or so from top end, never really likely and struggled in run home.
12 9 KARBRIDGE (CK251) C K Tong -- Out smartly, held spot 1L off leader first without cover, niggled along on bend, gave in easily in straight.
