1 1 SUPER MISSION (D262) K C Leung H/TT Raced just worse than midfield away from rail. Moved wider on the track approaching the 400m mark, dashed strongly to charge to lead near the 100m mark before continuing on strongly to win with extra in hand.
2 10 HERCULES (C476) K Teetan B/XB/TT Drifted back to the tail after the start. Continued at the rail on cornering before shifting to be the widest runner in straight & closing very strongly down the outside to charge to fast finishing second late.
3 5 DURHAM STAR (E082) L Hewitson SR/XB Steadied at first bend & taken back towards rear. Shifted wider on straightening before closing well down the outside to move to third in concluding stages.
4 11 PEAK TO PEAK (D472) Z Purton V/TT Had a nice run in midfield along rail before improving to race on leaders back from 450m. Stayed along rail on straightening, moved up to share lead at 150m before over-powered by late closers in final stages.
5 2 SO AWESOME (D258) M F Poon B/TT Had a nice run 1,1 in early stages before a pair further back from 600m. Moved wider on track passing 500m, shunted very wide on straightening before finishing off only steadily to the line to be beaten just over 2L.
6 12 WHISKEY NEAT (D150) J Moreira TT Had a nice run in midfield away from rail. Moved closer to the lead passing 400m mark, dashed up to momentarily share the lead near 200m before getting tired & weakening a few lengths late.
7 4 MASTER OF LUCK (G276) C Y Ho H1/TT1 Bumped heavily at start, raced three deep without cover early before getting 2 wide from 800m when worse than midfield. Held up for clear running near 100m but was never going to play a part in the finish.
8 7 AURORA HERO (G024) B Shinn -- Drifted back to race rearward throughout. Stayed close to the rail in the straight, made up a length or so when running onto midfield but was never likely.
9 9 HAPPY MATADOR (G243) R Maia B/XB1/TT Had a soft run in midfield along rail. Flattened out on effort approaching the 200m mark before being quite badly held up between 200m and 100m. May have been closer but likely to have still finished in second half.
10 3 HAPPY SOUL (G249) A Badel CP1/TT Raced three wide without cover when sharing the lead early before crossing to race 2 wide & outside the leader from the 650m. Peaked on run at the 200m mark & weakened out quickly in last furlong.
11 6 OVERSUBSCRIBED (C361) L Currie XB Pushed forward to share the lead in a line of 3 when holding the rail. Peaked on effort 200m & weakened out sharply in concluding stages to be second last.
12 8 HANDSOME GUYS (G044) C L Chau -- Shared the lead when racing in the middle of a line of three at the front before being crossed & racing 1,1 from the 650m. Weakened out badly in the straight to be long last.
