1 9 PACKING HURRICANE (H137) H Bentley TT Steadied going out of the straight first time before racing in midfield away from the rail. Raced tight & forced wide on cornering before making continual steady ground to steal lead in final stride. First two clear of third.
2 5 LEADING FORTUNE (C441) A Hamelin B Raced outside the lead throughout. Moved to the lead early in the straight, held advantage all the way until being caught in the final few strides. Well clear of third.
3 10 TOTAL POWER (D138) K H Chan B Improved around the first bend, raced three deep outside leaders before steadying near 1400m & shifting to race on the leaders back. Moved into clear running on straightening, battled on bravely to hold well beaten third.
4 7 NICHOLSON RETURNS (E452) Z Purton B Shifted back to race second last away from the rail after the start. Improved between runners approaching the corner, shifted wider on straightening before finishing off steadily down the outside to finish a well held 4th.
5 2 ENJOYING (D066) M Chadwick B/TT Raced 4th in the clear early before racing 1,1 from the 1200m. Eased three wide near the 550m, was only 1.25L from the lead at the 400m mark before giving ground to be well beaten in midfield.
6 8 S J TOURBILLON (G138) L Hewitson B/XB/TT Raced in midfield along the rail. Came off the rail approaching the 600m, raced tight with winner on cornering & again at the 350m before weakening to be well beaten.
7 6 SERANGOON (H296) Y L Chung H/TT Hampered start & had no early speed & consequently raced last. Shifted four wide passing the 600m, was very wide on straightening, 7L from lead before failing to finish off (not comfortable with track conditions – rider).
8 3 ABOVE (B345) A Badel B/TT Raced third last along the rail. Was about 5L from the lead on straightening when only having two runners behind but did little in the straight & weakened to be beaten over 10L.
9 1 ESCAPE ROUTE (E273) K Teetan H Pushed forward to lead. Joined & headed soon after straightening before weakening out badly in the straight to be long second last (failed to handle track – rider. substantial blood in trachea post-race).
10 4 SUPERBELLA (D128) C Y Ho B/TT Steadied on jumping & dragged back to race three deep without cover near the rear. Continued to cover additional ground in middle stages when wide. Was beaten before straightening & was a distant last.
