1 3 CHOICE TREASURE (N436) G Mosse -- Began fairly, raced 5 lengths or so back behind midfield, slightly improved along the rail on turn, finished off very strongly in straight to score by a neck.
2 1 STARTLING POWER (S204) M L Yeung B Jumped well from a wide draw, sent forward to race prominently, took the clear lead on turn, kept on well in straight, but couldn't hold off the winner late.
3 5 SEA RUBY (S238) N Callan H/TT Moderately away from gate 1, positioned a length behind the leader, travelled well throughout, kept on well in straight to hold 3rd.
4 7 HIT THE BID (P214) A Suborics V Bumped start, raced 2 to 3 wide with some cover behind midfield, 8 lengths back on turn, taken wide in straight and finished off very strongly to make frame.

9 11 EXPEDITE (N111) K C Leung B-/H/XB/PC2 Crowded out start, raced at tail throughout, taken wide in straight and finished off one-paced, never a factor.
