1 8 NORTHERNER (CD293) M W Leung XB Settled midfield on the fence. Grand away to the line to win narrowly.
2 3 WINNING REWARD (CE254) H W Lai B Raced 1 off in a midfield position. Fought strongly in the run to the post coming up just short.
3 9 YANKEE (CH271) C K Tong P- Led at a solid tempo along the rails. Did work when challenged in mid-section. Managed to kick clear turning for home however tired over the concluding stages.
4 2 SOUNDS BEST (CE255) D Beadman TT Positioned just behind midfield on the fence. Kept to the inside in the straight and closed of fairly without threatening.
5 7 CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) A Delpech B Settled at the rear of the field, made late ground without posing a serious threat.
6 6 CONGRATS (CG298) D Whyte -- Tracked the 2 leaders and looked a likely challenger before fading on its run over the latter stages.
7 4 SOCRATES (CD336) G Boss TT Failed to muster any speed and raced towards the back of the field. Never a factor.
8 5 UPSIDE OF ANGER (CH317) Z Purton -- Raced on the back of the speed, 2-wide hanging throughout. Commenced to give ground near the 400 M and struggled thereafter.
9 1 AGILITY (CC361) G Mosse XB Was caught wide early without cover and went forward after the 1400 M to sit outside the leader, equally setting a brisk pace. Punctured in the straight. (See Racing Incidents.)
