1 1 SUNNY KING (CH105) W C Marwing H Standard jump, settled cosily 3Ls off the pace, travelled strongly along the rails throughout, shifted 3-wide turning for home, responded well when asked at 350 M, hit the lead near 200 M, did well enough to hold off challengers.
2 8 PRESTO (CJ048) W Pike -- Out in line, niggled along to find a 2-wide position in midfield, travelled nicely with cover throughout, shifted widest for home, launched a strong challenge down centre of the straight final 400 M, narrowly beaten by the winner.
3 3 SPECIAL DAYS (CH236) D Whyte -- Given a waiting riding as usual and travelled 5Ls off pace on the rails, shifted wider in search of clear run at the top of home straight, kicked strongly final 300 M, unlucky to lose 2nd.
4 2 EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) M L Yeung TT Broke well, prominently sat within striking distance from the leader, 2-wide with cover, ran on to contest lead passing 400 M, kept fighting until turned one-paced at 100 M, lost a place final few strides.
5 7 IRIAN (CL187) D Beadman -- Broke fairly, taken rearward and travelled 5-6Ls behind the leader, held up early in straight, finished off well final 250 M but never really troubled the principals.
6 6 DREAM TEAM (CK076) B Prebble TT Jumped fastest, tracked leader in the one out one back spot, travelled nicely until bumped with a rival for several times early in straight, overhauled by the winner near 200 M, soon flattened.
7 5 IRON FIST (CH143) G Cheyne TT Slow to begin, niggled along to take the box-seat just behind the leader, was blocked and bumped early in straight, failed to make up any ground when clear at 200 M.
8 4 FLEET COMMAND (CK077) J Lloyd B Slowest to jump, pushed to catch up 4-5Ls off the speed with no cover, difficult to settle in the early stages, made no impression in home straight.
9 9 DEPOSER (CL092) H W Lai TT- Out in line, urged to lead 1L on rails, responded only fairly when asked early in straight, overhauled at 300 M, soon weakened and gave ground.
