1 6 SUNNY GOLF (CH138) D Beadman XB/TT Broke nicely, driven forward to take up running, kept speed genuine racing 1L clear throughout, increase speed on turning, dashed well clear in straight and was eased down late to score effortlessly.
2 5 SOLAR MIGHTY (CH124) M Du Plessis B/TT Out in line, ended up in midfield 5Ls or so away, had an even trip throughout, eased to centre on turning, made some progress but in a different class to winner.
3 8 ELEGANCE FORTUNE (CJ280) C K Tong -- Began with rest, ended up camped behind speed 3Ls back on fence, no excuses in run, same margin back turning, made no impression on winner but held even ground late.
