2 | 10 | PURE FORCE (M298) | Z Purton | H/V | Began best, joined up front 800m but back in lead 600m. Looked winner 200m before run down close to line. |
3 | 3 | CHARITY JOY (P278) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Was leaning on stall when gates opened and lost ground. Ridden along to keep tabs on leaders, shifted in 400m to get clear run and finished off strongly. |
4 | 8 | TANGO FIRE (S081) | J Moreira | B | Began well, made to work to keep with pace while trying to get closer to outer fence. Raced fiercely when close to heels 500m, kept on steadily without looking dangerous. |
5 | 4 | CHOICE TREASURE (N436) | Y T Cheng | -- | Jumped well but did not have enough speed to stay with leaders, settling behind horses 2.5L from leader. Held for run for some distance passing 500m, got clear 200m out and finished off strongly. |
6 | 11 | ART OF SUCCESS (P231) | K C Ng | -- | Jumped with field, ridden to maintain forward position while drifting to outer fence. Closed in on leaders and looked chance 400m but only one-paced final 200m. |
