2 7 MERIDIAN TREASURE (N084) K C Ng -- Stalked the leaders, 2 wide with cover. Took the lead after the 100m but was overhauled late.
3 1 ALWAYS WELL (M112) C Y Ho -- Copped a check near the 900m, settling 3 back, 2 deep with cover. Ranged up and looked likely after hitting the front near the 150m, but finished its run passing the 100m.
4 6 MEGA POSH (M251) D Beadman TT1 Slow to begin settling with the backmakers along the paint. Kept to the inside in the final stretch and closed off well to make the frame.

6 13 TAKE BY STORM (N065) M Chadwick TT Crossed from the outside alley to race 1 off and dueled for the lead passing the 800m. Kept up a sound gallop down the running.
7 8 SUPREME HONG KONG (M219) D Whyte -- Settled behind midfield 2-3 wide with cover. Got some crowding near the 700m and didn't enjoy the best of runs in transit. Made nice ground once into clear & comfortable racing room in the home straight.
