1 9 SILVER DRAGON (M326) K Teetan B-/PC1 Began well, parked 5th behind speed in one-off position. Improved 600m, 5-wide into straight, rolled forward to lead 150m, held off late challenge.
2 2 BALTIC WARRIOR (S237) N Callan B/TT Crowded out start, urged ahead settling midfield away from fence. Peeled out turning for home and finish off strongly to just miss.
3 1 CHARITY KINGDOM (S278) U Rispoli B-/XB1/TT- Hard ridden from wide draw but failed to muster and shifted in from 1100m to find cover at rear but still wide. Under pressure from 400m, picked up from 200m and finished off strongly.
4 7 ALL TIMES LUCKY (P064) B Prebble XB Shifted across behind runners from outside draw, settling last. Picked up momentum entering straight, shifted out 200m for clear running, finished off nicely.
5 10 FOREVER FUN (S130) A Suborics H/TT1 Ridden to maintain forward position settling one-off, one-back. Rolled forward entering straight, looked chance 200m, no extra close home.
6 8 GO-GETTER (S303) A Atzeni E/P Bumped start, ridden along 3-back from leader along rail. Tightened around turn, kept on steadily in straight but raced greenly from 100m.
7 12 CHANS DELIGHT (P420) H W Lai B/TT Ridden along to hold box seat. Caught flat-footed top of straight when leader kicked. Ran on steadily to 200m before turning one-paced.
8 5 TOMODACHI (M026) C Y Lui P-/H/XB/B2 Bumped unbalanced start, pressed forward to lead passing 650m. Collared soon after straightening and weakened steadily.
9 4 WINNING APEX (N128) T H So -- Bumped start, not much speed settling at rear along fence. Still well back turning for home and ran past tired horses in straight.
10 3 VICTORY GENERAL (CL396) J Moreira -- Hard ridden from wide draw to lead on settling, crossing to fence 900m. Passed 650m, retook lead 200, but soon under pressure and weakened badly.
11 6 WHO CARES (S270) K C Leung B1/TT1 No speed, soon at rear, losing contact with field before the turn. Never likely. (Unacceptable performance)
