1 9 SUPREME PROFIT (P230) C Schofield B/TT Broke well but eased to behind midfield in one-of position. Not happy with pace and took off passing 1100m to lead 950m, crossing to fence 700m. Kept finding in straight to hold off late challenge.
2 6 BASIC TRILOGY (V133) S Clipperton B Jumped with field, ridden to hold rail, sliding into box seat 2L from leader passing 1500m. Shuffled back to 5th rounding turn, blocked for run early in straight, got split 250m and finished off strongly.
3 5 ROMANTIC TOUCH (S393) D Whyte TT Quickly into stride, pressed forward from widest draw, settling outside leader passing 1500m. Shuffled back to 5th when rivals moved forward, picked up momentum on straightening but only one-paced final 200m.
4 7 HELENE SUPER STAR (S152) K Teetan CP-/TT Hard ridden from wide draw to lead on settling, then slowed pace to a crawl. Overtaken passing 950m but kept battling until flattened close home.
5 3 THE ALFONSO (V627) Z Purton PC/TT Away nicely, settling one-back, one-off 1500m. Got shuffled back when several rivals moved forward before turn, shaken up entering straight but only one-paced.
6 2 FLAME HERO (P294) K C Leung V Jumped OK, ridden to hold midfield position before crossing to fence 1600m. Lost position after 1000m when rivals moved forward, left fence 600m to make run but only one-paced.
7 8 HELENE CHARISMA (A129) J Moreira H Crowded out start, dropping to rear between horses then checked 1500m. Unhappy with slow pace and over-raced until 1000m when tempo increased. Lay in top straight but boxed on one-paced.
8 1 HORSE OF FORTUNE (T118) S De Sousa -- Ridden early to obtain a forward position but did not respond and shuffled back to rear. Clear last entering home turn, found nothing when asked in straight.
9 4 HARBOUR MASTER (S145) N Callan SR Began OK but not asked for an effort, dropping to rear in a 3-wide position. Rolled forward passing 1100m to sit 2L behind leader turning for home. Spent force on sraightening and plodded home.
