1 8 CASA LEGEND (G126) M F Poon P/TT Bumped on jumping, settled midfield always close enough to leaders, loomed 300M, quickened past leader 150M and continued on well closing stages.
2 6 CHARMANDER (G437) Z Purton V Tracked leader 2-wide, responded well to lead 250M but was outstayed by winner final stages.
3 7 GO HERO (H315) Y L Chung B/TT Had uncontested lead, headed 250M by first two, fought on to hold 3rd.
4 3 INVINCIBLE MISSILE (C037) A Badel XB Slow to begin, given a waiting ride at the rear, swung wide into straight then closed off the race moderately for a non-threating 4th.
5 4 MERCHANT PRINCE (H268) B Thompson V/TT Held up in second half of the field, ran home only fairly over final 400M, never a winning hope.
6 2 NICE BIRDIE (G470) P N Wong TT From draw 1 moved up to track leaders on inside, failed to respond to riding passing 400M, soon drifted out of contention.
7 9 HAPPY HUNK (H101) M Chadwick CP-/B2/TT Bounded on jumping losing ground at the start, settled towards the rear further back than intended, couldn't finish it off on straightening. (Blood in trachea.)
8 1 GAMEPLAYER WARRIOR (J178) L Ferraris B/XB/TT Jumped awkwardly, raced keenly in midfield, caught wide no cover from 1000M, had nothing to offer turning home, weakened away.
