1 4 SMART IDEA (E344) H Bentley H/TT Moderate start, travelled over 2L back on the rail, drifted further back in 5th over 3L back, saved ground turning for home, fought on under pressure to just get up on line.
2 9 STORMTROUPER (E100) M F Poon TT Bumped at start settling towards the rear, travelled keenly in 6th in back straight, came under pressure rounding home bend and wide into straight, quickened well to hit the front 50 metres out only to be collared close to home.
3 10 HAPPY SHARING (G169) A Badel TT Broke well, soon settled one back in 3rd travelling keenly far side, came under pressure rounding home bend holding every chance early in straight, swamped inside final 50 metres.

6 2 SCOTCH TYCOON (G088) K Teetan H Travelled wide without cover in rear of midfield, lost position passing the 900 metres, ran on steadily down the centre of the straight to be nearest at finish.
