1 10 FAITHFUL TRINITY (A247) M Chadwick B/TT Soon in front setting slow pace early stages, allowed an uncontested lead, opened up a decisive lead top of straight, fought on late stages just holding off the runner up at the line.
2 1 CORDYCEPS ONE (E107) K Teetan B/H In 4th spot on settling, never far off from leaders in a moderately run race, responded well over final 300M under top weight, just denied in a close finish.
3 3 OVER THE MOON (G162) H Bowman B/TT Began fairly, soon moved up to track leader, remained racing in 2nd place throughout, tried hard early straight but couldn't get near to winner, lost 2nd inside 150M.
4 5 CHARIZARD (B463) L Ferraris B/TT Strolled forward from draw 1, tracked leaders in a moderately run race, lacked the needed kick passing 300M, comfortably held by leaders.
5 9 HO HO JUNIOR (G127) C Y Ho -- Settled 2-wide in midfield, driven wide into straight, kept on one paced to the line, not reach contention.
6 12 FORTUNE WINNER (E248) V Borges XB/TT Taken back to race towards the rear in a moderately run race, gave limited response passing 400M, never a threat to leaders.

8 6 JOLLY HONOUR (C080) Z Purton B/TT From wide draw shifted across to race behind midfield in a moderately run race, not quickened when driven 450M, never involved. (Jockey : not suited by the pace, difficult to make up ground in the straight.)
9 7 GLORIOUS LOVER (D191) H Bentley B- Dropped back from wide draw, held up near last 8Ls in a moderately run race, gave limited response from 400M, never going the pace to challenge.
10 4 TYCOON JEWELLERY (E473) A Badel H/XB/TT Slow to begin, obtained a position behind midfield, couldn't go on passing 400M. (Jockey: not suited by settling in a rearward position with the race run at a moderate tempo.)
11 2 TO INFINITY (G277) Y L Chung B/TT Caught 3-wide early stages before drifting back to race near the rear, pace very slow early stages, plenty to do 400M, lacked a closing kick. (Jockey : not suited by the tempo throughout the race.)
