1 9 RATTAN KINGDOM (G035) K Teetan B/XB/TT Got back to race third last away from the rail. Moved wider on the track to improve from about the 450m before closing strongly in the final stages to steal a narrow lead in the final few strides.
2 6 MALDIVES (D329) A Badel XB Mustered speed after the start to race in midfield along the rail. Moved into clear running on straightening, closed strongly to share the lead fleetingly near the 50m before being caught by the fast closing winner late, just beaten.
3 4 LOYAL BABY (E130) M Chadwick TT Raced wide without cover after the start before working hard to improve position to get outside the leader near the 900m. Moved to the lead near the 200m mark before over-run by first two in final 25m. Close behind.
4 1 ZONE D (D415) Z Purton H/P/TT Drifted back after the start & raced at the tail throughout. Moved wider on the track near the 500m, was last and very wide on straightening before making good late ground down the outside to be just behind the first three.
5 5 PARTY WARRIOR (E368) C Y Ho H Raced in midfield away from the rail throughout. Closed off steadily all the way to the line & was only beaten just over 2L but couldn't finish as strongly as the first few.
6 8 ALL RICHES (G060) K C Leung V Obtained unchallenged lead after start. Joined & headed by the third nearing the furlong mark before weakening a few lengths late.
7 2 RED MAJESTY (E028) L Hewitson B/TT Improved position passing the winning post first time to race second away from the rail before being crossed & getting nice run 1,1 from the 900m. Wasn't far behind on straightening but gave length or two late.
8 7 SUPER OASIS (D085) Y L Chung B/TT Shifted behind runners at the start & raced rearward. Continued in second half on straightening, was momentarily steadied mid-straight before shifting outwards but then finished off moderately late.
9 3 THE ROCK (D187) L Currie -- Raced second along the rail early before then racing third, on the leaders back in the middle stages. Didn't have much room fleetingly on straightening but did little in the last 250m & weakened to last.
