2 6 REGENCY HAPPY STAR (H248) Y L Chung CP/H/TT Raced in midfield along the rail in early & middle stages. Came off the rail approaching the 400m when travelling well, moved to narrow lead at the 200m, joined at 150m, beaten a neck on line.

4 7 MILLENNIUM FALCON (D281) K Teetan TT Bumped after the start before racing on the leaders back throughout. Stayed close to the rail on straightening, finished off only fairly & was well behind the first three.
5 1 CORDYCEPS ONE (E107) Z Purton -- Began awkwardly before being ridden forward & getting 1,1 position from the 1300m. Shuffled a pair further back near half-way, forced outwards near 400m before finishing moderately to midfield, rider questioned, see report.
