1 4 TURIN MASCOT (H165) Z Purton SR/TT Closed up to pace early stages, fell back to midfield halfway, held up 500M-350M, stayed on strongly to get up close home.
2 5 MAJESTIC VICTORY (E441) Y L Chung TT Soon led, overtaken passing 1600M but remained prominent to home straight, responded well to lead near 200M, soon challenged by eventual winner, went down narrowly. Clear from remainders.
3 1 NATURAL STORM (C461) K Teetan B Jumped awkwardly, raced near the rear early stages before making an early move 1100M, in 2nd spot making the final turn, outstayed by first 2 final 200M.
4 2 PACKING HURRICANE (H137) H Bentley TT Always in touch, driven along 500M but not quickened, raced tight 200M, kept on same pace towards the finish. Never dangerous.
5 8 TOTAL POWER (D138) M F Poon B Dropped back to race as the back-marker, 5Ls to make up 400M, stayed on fairly down outside, lay in final 200M proving difficult to ride out.
6 3 S J TOURBILLON (G138) K De Melo SR/XB/CP2/TT Behind midfield early stages, shuffled back to near the rear passing halfway, ran on one paced turning home, never a threat to first few.
7 6 YOUNG BRILLIANT (H135) A Atzeni -- Pressed leader on outside before striding to the lead 1600M, fought hard to hold lead early straight, caught by rivals 200M, no extra late stages.
8 7 SUPER HONG KONG (D241) M Chadwick B/TT Settled behind mid-division, driven wide to challenge 500M, run ended mid-straight, weakened. (Jockey : his mount may not have appreciated steeping up to Class 3.)
