2 2 SAVVY DELIGHT (E386) B Avdulla P/TT Got back to race third last away from the rail. Was 6L from the lead entering final section, moved over heels at the 200m before closing well late to halve deficit when running onto well beaten second.
3 4 KING ECCELLENTE (G264) H Bowman B/XB Had a nice run in midfield away from the rail. Was 3.5L from the lead entering final section, moved to second fleetingly in final furlong before holding deficit in the straight when finishing third.

5 9 MILLENNIUM FALCON (D281) C L Chau TT Raced rearward after the start. Was over 6L from the lead at the 400m when galloping along the rail, stayed nearer the inside on straightening before passing a few tiring rivals when running onto well held fifth.
6 8 DIAMOND SOARS (G201) Y L Chung H/P/TT Showed customary early speed, led early before racing outside the leader/winner after 150m. Couldn't go with the leader approaching the corner, was about 2L behind on straightening before weakening to be beaten over 5L.
7 1 FLYING DRAGON (E360) A Hamelin B/XB Raced in midfield along the rail. Was 4.5L from the lead entering final section, moved away from the rail & into clear running on straightening before weakening a length or two late to be well held.
8 11 ABOVE ALL (D397) K Teetan H/XB Was slow to begin & raced at the tail. Was just under 8L from the lead entering final section & never really got involved.
9 12 MODEST GENTLEMAN (G352) M L Yeung P-/PC1/TT Jumped only fairly & then improved position after the first furlong to race in midfield away from the rail. Was just under 5L from the lead entering last section, shifted wider on straightening but weakened to second last.
10 10 STRIVE FOR GLORY (D186) M Chadwick P/TT Raced worse than midfield early when wider on the track before drifting back around the first bend to be relegated to second last from the 500m. Was last on straightening & was never in contention.
