1 | 10 | AFRICA LIGHT (N030) | Z Purton | B1/TT | Made its run from midfield, after racing 2 deep with cover. Kicked well clear after the 250M and drew away for a solid win. |
2 | 2 | WINNING BOY (N186) | O Doleuze | SR | Began awkwardly, parking back in the event, 1 off with cover. Finished off nicely. |
3 | 8 | HORSESHOE FORTUNE (CL098) | M Zahra | CP1 | Ridden along early but only managed to hold a position worse than midfield on the rails. Ran on well. |

5 | 12 | REGAL ARMY (M370) | K C Leung | B/TT | Taken back from a wide gate settling at the rear of the field, 1 off with cover. Made good ground in the home straight. |
6 | 4 | HONEY FORTUNE (M243) | T Angland | B/TT | Settled 3 back, 1 off with cover. Worked to a slender lead near the 300m, but was well out of contention near the 100m. |
7 | 6 | WINSOME (M261) | C K Tong | B-/TT | Coursed 3 wide without cover, midfield. Never likely. |

10 | 5 | MY WHISKY (CK071) | T H So | B/TT | Did plenty of work early to eventually cross and lead along the paint after the 900m. Was a spent force passing the 250m. |
