2 | 5 | ENSUED (H452) | K Teetan | -- | Maintained a position just off leaders, worked into the race nicely passing 500M, kept battling to the line, just couldn't hold off winner in concluding stages. |
3 | 4 | C P BRAVE (E306) | J McDonald | V | Reserved behind midfield 5Ls back on settling , swung wide passing 500M, picked up well when asked, lay in under pressure final 300M, dug deep to get up for joint 3rd at the line. |
3 | 11 | WOODFIRE BRO (G115) | K C Leung | TT | Soon prominent and sat in behind leader, fought on well to hit lead 150M, tried hard late stages but was collared close home. |
5 | 3 | BUTTERFIELD (C462) | Z Purton | CP/TT | From draw 1 jumped on terms, maintained a midfield spot 3-4Ls off the pace, responded well early straight and looked a threat, wilted in the chase late stages. |
6 | 1 | BOURBONAIRE (E365) | B Avdulla | H | Crossed to the lead nearing 1600M, led at good pace before slowing down the tempo middle stages, fought on under top weight early straight, headed inside 200M and had no extra late. |
7 | 13 | KA YING GENERATION (J075) | A Atzeni | B-/PC1 | Soon taken across to the fence, behind midfield early before falling back to a rearward position, came with an even run from well back but never looked a winning hope. |
8 | 2 | THE BEST PEACH (H139) | H Bowman | TT | Switched off to race at the rear, long way off the pace early stages, moved closer home turn but still had task in hand 400M, stayed on without really threatening. |

10 | 8 | HAMERON (H265) | L Ferraris | B/TT1 | Away well enough, restrained to race in midfield, swung wide for home but couldn't quicken as required and was never a real threat. |
11 | 12 | LOOKING GREAT (E053) | M F Poon | TT | Dropped back from wide draw, settled near last, bustled along 550M but couldn't muster any sort of challenge in the straight. |
12 | 9 | BEAUTY LIVE (G057) | A Badel | TT | From draw 7 ended up racing 3-wide in midfield, widest turning into straight but offered little and was easily accounted for. |
13 | 6 | COLUMBUS COUNTY (C465) | H Bentley | V/TT | In the group chasing leaders, caught wide no cover until near 1200M then stalked the leader into straight, failed to finish the job and weakened rapidly passing 400M. |
