1 2 LUCKY ENCOUNTER (H274) K Teetan -- Jumped well, tracked leader on outside, responded strongly to lead mid-straight, continued on well final stages.
2 1 BEAUTY CRESCENT (H334) H Bowman B/TT Restrained to race near the rear early stages, switched wide home turn, finished willingly to claim 2nd late.
3 14 GREENWICH (H328) A Badel TT From wide draw driven to the lead, couldn't hold off winner 200M, kept on well late stages only to lose 2nd near line.
4 8 GOOD BUDDY (E097) L Ferraris CP Always in touch, moved up to 3rd 250M, kept on gamely towards the finish.
5 10 CALIFORNIA VANES (G160) Y L Chung B/TT Chased leader, had every chance turning in, fought on steadily but held by leaders in the run home.
6 9 COTTON FINGERS (H398) M Chadwick TT Held up behind mid-division, hung in in the home straight and proved difficult to ride, ran on mildly towards the finish.

9 11 FOOLISH HEART (J054) K C Leung -- From draw 1 raced in midfield early stages, shuffled back to near the rear home turn, not going the pace to challenge passing 400M. Never a winning chance.
