3 | 4 | AEROVELOCITY (P069) | Z Purton | CP-/B1/TT | Driven forward from wide barrier, chased leader 2-wide turning home, continued on well to lead nearing 200M, got tired inside 100M and not able to hold off first 2 final 50M. |
4 | 8 | G-ONE LEADER (P383) | T H So | -- | Reigned back, reserved near the rear 6Ls off the pace, saved ground on inner, took time to pick up in straight, did best work late for an eye-catching 4th. |
5 | 7 | MONTE CASTELLO (S053) | T Angland | -- | Driven forward, checked 900M but soon recovered, badly held up behind leader early straight, switched to clear 200M, ran on but not much headway on first few. |
6 | 1 | MR GINGER (N307) | G Mosse | B-/SR1/TT | Taken across behind runners, settled on the outside of last pair, 7Ls to make up 400M, bid wide and fared best of those who came from off the pace. |

9 | 12 | WINFULL PATROL (P063) | K Teetan | -- | Quickly into stride, severely checked 900M losing position and momentum, shuffled back to midfield, kept on steadily final 400M but never reached contention (Lame left front.) |
10 | 11 | SEASONS STAR (P058) | M Chadwick | CP/TT | Bustled along after the start, 3-wide and not far off from leaders but left with no cover from 900M, not quickened turning in, remained same pace and was swamped inside 100M. |
11 | 13 | HOXO (P131) | W M Lai | TT | Slow to begin, 8Ls off the pace in rear and not hurried, keen middle stages, made no significant progress on straightening. |
12 | 3 | COSTA DEL SOL (M111) | K C Ng | B/TT | Had a tough trip in a position behind midfield, steadied near 900M and caught 4-wide without cover turning home, stayed on fairly, eased when no chance final stages. |
