1 11 FIONN'S DRAGON (CL046) H W Lai TT Ended up settling 3 wide in midfield 5ls back with cover, even trip to bend, kept working into it and let down best final 200m to score a solid win.
2 7 ALL VICTORY (M107) M Chadwick TT Showed speed to take up running, rolled along at decent sections, skipped clear at 400m, stuck on well only to be collared late.
3 10 BEST CITY (M290) C Y Ho -- Slotted in to ideal spot 3ls back in 2 wide line, tracked well to bend, had difficulty obtaining clear run until after the 200m, closed hard late.
4 8 COSTA DEL SOL (M111) K C Ng -- Began well, took a trail on leaders back, fair run to turn, angled out and kept giving, lost a place late but did well to make frame.

6 5 OPEN SESAME (CL091) M Du Plessis TT Drifted back behind midfield, 7ls or so away on rails, quiet time to bend, not clearest running in the early part of the straight, worked home to be nearest on line.
7 12 SUPREME WINNER (M014) B Prebble B Settled behind midfield 2-3wide 7ls back, aided by pace on, improved at 400m, didn't dash but kept working steadily to line to be closest at finish.
