1 7 ALL GREAT FRIENDS (S279) H N Wong -- First out and soon dictating pace. Pulled 2L clear around home turn and kept finding in the straight when strongly challenged final 100m.
2 1 HARRIER JET (T372) S Clipperton V/TT Jumped well, pulled out of pace battle and taken to fence 3L from leader. Kept tabs to straight, threw out strong challenge from 300m but failed narrowly.
3 2 ALL BEST FRIENDS (A217) H W Lai -- Broke with field then ridden along one-out, one-back. Dropped back slightly around home turn but rolled forward again between horses in straight to grab minor placing.
4 5 POWERMAX (A009) M F Poon B Jumped awkwardly, bumped, took first turn 4-wide before settling 3-deep 2L from leader 800m. Dropped back slightly turning for home but boxed on gamely in straight to finish in the frame.
5 8 DOLLAR REWARD (A305) J Moreira TT Bounced well, pressed forward, racing outside but 1L behind leader back straight. Swung a little wide into straight, boxed on fairly before turning one-paced final stages.
6 10 MR PICASSO (T330) C Schofield H Got off OK, not pushed, racing just ahead of midfield in one-out position. Shaken up top of straight but only one-paced.
7 9 SHARP HUNTER (P097) D Whyte B Slow into stride, dropping to last pair along rail. Made up some ground turning for home, took inside run in straight and ran on steadily though slightly inconvenienced final stages.
8 3 JOLLY CONVERGENCE (V293) N Callan TT Hard ridden from widest gate, taking first turn 5-wide before shifting in and finding cover 3-wide behind midfield. Made some progress in straight but tightened close home and not fully tested.

11 11 WHAT MAN HORSE (V236) K C Ng B Jumped fairly, shifted across behind runners from a wide gate dropping to rear in one-off position. Trailed field to straight without ever looking competitive.
