2 9 FLYING GENIUS (D071) K H Chan TT Pressed forward from a wide gate to lead crossing to the rail 800 metres out, went nearly 2L clear early in straight, tiring when outsprinted by winner and nearly caught for 2nd closing stages.
3 10 JUST NOT LISTENING (B192) N Callan CP-/V1 Jumped awkwardly from a wide gate sharing early pace, settled one back in 2nd 5-wide allowing race leader to cross for rails run, fought on steadily in straight without threatening.
4 5 HIGHLAND FORTUNE (C292) C Y Ho -- Moderate start from a wide gate, soon dropped to last few, 3-wide rounding home bend and into home straight, ran on quite well without threatening.
5 11 FLYING SWORD (C463) H W Lai CP Travelled mainly 3-wide in midfield despite ridden early, made headway rounding home bend to reach 4th just over 2L off the pace, kept on without quickening under pressure after straightening.

9 1 PATCH BABY (B303) B Shinn B-/XB/H1/TT Stumbled at start, quickly settled in midfield on the rail, drifted steadily backward rounding home bend, towards rear into home straight, made no further impression.
10 4 MEGA HEART (A148) J Moreira XB/TT Soon dropped to last few despite niggling along, carried backward to the last coming onto home bend, trailed the field into home straight and awkwardly placed behind runner 250 metres out, made no further impression.
