2 3 JOLLY BANNER (V077) M F Poon B Settled about 2L off the pace towards the end of the small field, commenced move inside the final 400 metres, ran on to reach 2nd just inside the 200 metres but never threatening.
3 5 GOLD CHEST (C146) A Badel CP/TT Settled just over 1L off the pace behind the leaders, came under pressure when about 2L back in 4th over 400 metres out, never able to quicken to threaten.
4 2 BIG PARTY (B461) Z Purton -- Restrained up 1L off the pace without cover near the centre of the track, became 2nd in a similar position coming onto the course proper, unable to sustain effort and folded up quickly inside the final 200 metres.
5 1 WISHFUL THINKER (B180) K C Leung B Badly crowded at the start losing ground, shifted out onto stands rails at the back 700 metres out and improved to be just off the pace, found no extra under pressure inside the final 400 metres.
