1 2 SUPER PEGASUS (CH141) C Soumillon TT 2Ls back in 2nd on fence at 1300 M, 1L down in 2nd swinging for home, kicked 2Ls clear at the 200 M, drew further clear for very easy win.
2 3 JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) D Whyte P1 Trapped 3-wide no cover throughout, improved position down backstretch and 4Ls back in 5th at 800 M, stayed on fairly well but no chance with winner.
3 13 DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) W M Lai -- Slightly worse than midfield about 5Ls or 6Ls from the front until home turn, made some minor late headway for a place.
4 7 FREEBIRD (CC319) G Boss CP Tended to carry head awkwardly as usual, 3Ls back in 3rd out 2-wide at 1300 M, had his chance to place in the straight but lacked the kick.

10 11 LUCKY WORLD (CJ053) Y T Cheng TT Good early pace to lead on fence by 1L from 1400 M to home turn, soon head and faded out.
11 9 TELECOM SIR (CH217) K Shea -- 3-back on fence about 4Ls off speed in 4th at the 1000 M, close enough if good enough at the final turn, dropped away.
