1 6 MOUNT EVEREST (K237) M L Yeung -- Jumped only fairly from draw 11, settled long way back near last, had plenty to do top of straight, closed off fastest to get up by the narrowest margin.
2 3 PATCH OF TIME (H483) L Hewitson -- Positively ridden out the gate, taken across to race handily behind the pace, chased runaway leader passing 350M, briefly in front in concluding stages but was nailed on the line.
3 12 FUN N GLORY (G003) P N Wong B/XB From draw 1 quickly moved up to take up running, kicked nicely clear top of straight under light weight, kept going well to the line and was only headed by first 2 concluding stages.
4 7 TOP THRONE (K116) K Teetan -- In the early stages raced keenly when trying to obtain cover but unable to do so, raced wide and without cover in midfield throughout, ran on well towards the finish beaten less than 1L on debut.
5 4 AUTUMN VIBES (K150) H Bowman SB1/TT From wide draw and elected to settle towards the rear, had some work to do 400M, stayed on moderately despite hanging in when placed under pressure. (Jockey: may appreciate being stepped up in trip next start.)
6 11 HAPPY TANGO (D075) H T Mo B Bumped at the start, soon moved up to track leader, held 2nd until passing 300M, no extra final stages and weakened. (Jockey reminded to ride out to the line.)
7 1 MATTERS MOST (K154) H Bentley CP/TT Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, held up in midfield along the fence, failed to run on in the home straight, never reached contention.
8 2 GOLDEN LUCK (H159) J Orman XB/TT Did not show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position despite ridden along, ended in a 3-wide spot behind midfield, failed to run on in the straight.
9 9 DRALA (J376) E C W Wong V1 Shifted out at the start and was bumped, bustled along to obtain a trailing position behind leaders, unable to quicken early straight, soon weakened and faded away.
10 5 ARDEN (J505) B Avdulla TT Jumped on terms, settled in second half of the field, steadied 550M, found nothing when asked top of straight, soon beaten.
11 10 FOXHUNTER KING (J044) K De Melo B/TT Drifted to the back of the field after the jump, came under serious pressure 600M, soon detached and heavily eased. (Jockey concerned something amiss in the Home Straight / Irregular Heart Rhythm).
