1 1 SAVVY CHIC (G261) H Bowman TT Raced outside the leader. Moved to narrow lead mid-straight & had enough in hand to win by half a length from late challengers.
2 3 JOY OF SPRING (H383) B Avdulla TT1 Raced just worse than midfield along the rail. Stayed near to the rail on straightening before closing off well into tight running in final 100m to steal second on line.
3 4 WOOD ON FIRE (C460) K Teetan H/TT Raced on the leaders back throughout. Continued close in the straight, had no room approaching 200m, shifted outwards abruptly at the 125m before closing well all the way to the line to hold close up third.
4 6 COLONEL (D090) Y L Chung V Showed customary early speed to lead. Joined by the winner the 200m, dug deep before being over-run in final 50m but was not beaten far on the line.
5 7 DIAMOND DIAMOND (H189) C L Chau B Raced in midfield along the rail. Had clear running on straightening, hampered near heels at 125m, closed off well all the way to line to be beaten only 1.25L.
6 10 YOUNG HORIZON (G272) M L Yeung -- Got back to a clear last after the start. Moved wider on the track passing the 400m, was a long way back on straightening before making late ground down the outside to be closest on the line.
7 9 DAILY TROPHY (H283) L Currie H1/PC1/TT Got back to race third last away from the rail. Closed off steadily to be beaten just over 3L.
8 11 MR MAJESTIC (G145) L Hewitson CP/SR/TT Had a nice run 1,1 throughout. Never really challenged in the straight & was beaten just over 3L.
9 2 HERO STAR (D033) A Badel XB/TT Raced in midfield away from the rail. Failed to challenge in the straight & only beat two runners home (coughed during race – rider).
10 8 STOICISM (E223) K C Leung B/TT Was trapped racing three wide without cover just forward of midfield. Was ridden along before the 400m, was wide on straightening before weakening in the last furlong.
11 5 STORMTROUPER (E100) Z Purton XB Was taken back to second last after the start. Was badly checked & lost ground just prior to straightening & was eased out of the race thereafter (concerned with action after incident – rider).
