1 2 LEGEND EXPRESS (CK224) H W Lai B Always going well sitting in the slipstream of the leader, quickened impressively turning in and took lead passing 200M, kept on strongly to the line.
2 6 ATHENIUM (CK197) T Angland -- Held up at the back, 6Ls to make up inside 400M, couldn’t quite get to the winner but stayed on best of the rest.
3 5 EASTERN EMPIRE (CL172) M Chadwick TT Near the tail of the field, saved ground racing along the inside, stayed on final 300M to go 3rd near the line.
4 3 NEW VISION (M028) Z Purton B Shared lead on the inside, quickened tempo near 600M and established a 2Ls lead turning for home, headed by the eventual winner inside 200M, weakened into 4th over the final stages.
5 1 PROJECT RUNWAY (CL302) K C Ng B Failed to muster speed despite vigorously ridden and raced further back than intended, finished off only fairly final 400M, hung in mid-straight and was difficult to ride.
6 9 VIVA FREEDOM (M037) M Du Plessis -- Moved forward to join leader, raced fiercely when being restrained in middle stages, kept on one-paced when put to pressure early straight before giving some response final 200M. (Jockey and Trainer questioned.)
7 4 NICE FOLKS (CL421) W C Marwing H/CP Positioned 4Ls back in midfield and raced 3-wide for much of the way, came with a promising run early straight, had his chance but effort flattened out final 150M.
8 10 GOOD THINKER (M127) W M Lai B Tracked leaders along the 2-path, didn’t pick up when the tempo quickened inside 500M was left behind mid-straight.
9 8 OUR DYNASTY (M241) J Lloyd -- Taken back from a wide barrier and guided to a midfield spot along the rails, didn’t respond to urging approaching home straight, weakened rapidly passing 300M.
10 7 HAPPY SEVEN (CK155) B Prebble B- Never far off the pace, caught 3-wide in chasing group and was left racing with no cover from 1100M, not quickened when the race got serious, dropped out 250M from home.
