5 6 POWERFUL WINGS (G225) C Y Ho -- Began fairly, raced in midfield along the 2-path, lacked instant acceleration turning into straight, stayed on steadily final 200M to go 5th late.
6 8 PERFECT PAIR (C027) H Bentley SR Dropped back to race behind midfield, 5Ls to make up leaving the turn, stayed on without threat to leaders.
7 13 OSCAR GLORY (E109) M Chadwick CP Slow to muster speed despite ridden along early, caught 3-wide chasing leaders, left with no cover from 600M, challenged for the lead from top of straight before run ended 150M from home.

12 3 EXCELLENT DADDY (E321) K Teetan CP1/TT Raced keenly behind the speed, failed to quicken on straightening and quickly swamped by rivals 300M. (Jockey: not relaxed in middle stages, made abnormal breathing noise in the straight.)
