1 1 GLORY ELITE (H311) K C Leung H Broke alertly, soon took up running, travelled well in middle stages and still on the bridle leaving home turn, kicked on strongly under a big weight to score a dominant win.
2 2 LADY'S CHOICE (H155) K Teetan B/H From wide draw pressed forward to track leader, driven 400M, fought hard but couldn't close the gap on the winner.
3 6 ALSONSO (J405) H Bentley -- Jumped on terms, from draw 1 moved up to chase leaders in 3rd, not going the pace to challenge winner in the straight but stuck to task well for 3rd. (lay out under pressure in straight.)

6 10 PACKING TURBINE (J470) Z Purton TT1 Made contact with the barrier on jumping, lost ground and settled towards the rear further back than intended, stayed on final 400M without troubling leaders. (Jockey: better suited by being stepped up in distance.)
