2 7 GOOD PARTNER (CE221) T H So TT Broke fairly, soon found a fence spot 6Ls off the leader, travelled strongly in early stages, responded well when asked for efforts final 300 M, squeezed through a gap 200 M out, just did enough for 2nd.
3 11 MY MATE ADRIC (CL004) M Chadwick H Jumped fairly, niggled along to sit one out one back, ran on to lead turning for home, overhauled by the winner 200 M but did keep on well itself, unlucky to lose 2nd.

5 1 WINNING REWARD (CE254) H W Lai B Jumped fast, prominently sat within striking distance from the leader, 2-wide with cover in midfield, obtained clear run final 250 M, clicked into gear passing 200 M and looked likely for a place, just missed out.
6 5 GOOD LUCK WIN (CK004) A Suborics B/XB/TT Out in line, bit keen in early stage until box-seated behind the leader, travelled nicely throughout, kept on well and looked a place hope in home straight, matched the strides of the placegetters but just lacked the kick to beat them.
7 8 YOUNG HERO (CH071) Z Purton CP Jumped fast, prominently placed 2 to 3Ls behind the leader, had his chance but found too one-paced in home straight.
8 9 CHATER D'CAT (CK119) D Whyte TT Taken back from the wide gate, ended up sitting two from rear, 7 to 8Ls off the speed 2-wide with cover, made ground steadily down centre of home straight final 200 M but offered little threat to the principals.
9 2 WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (CG033) K C Leung -- Lacked early speed, settled one from the rear on rails, approximately 8Ls behind the leader, urged along rounding bend, shifted wider for home, was crowded in concluding stages, made little ground final 200 M out.
10 6 SOARING RIVER (CK137) B Doyle B- Out in line, settled comfortably in midfield on the fence, tried to make up ground along the rails final 300 M, badly held up behind a tired runner, failed to pick up again when clear 100 M.
11 3 CASH MONEY (CH030) C W Wong B/H Mustered fast to lead 1L on rails, responded only fairly when asked for extra efforts final 300 M, overhauled passing 200 M, soon weakened sharply.
