1 3 BEAUTY LIVE (G057) J Moreira TT Soon moved up to 2nd spot tracking leader in a slowly run race, challenged for the lead early straight, fought hard to gain upper hand 100M, held on well from 2nd and 3rd late.
2 7 GOLDEN EMPIRE (E490) Z Purton -- Settled down in 4th ahead of mid-division, driven from 400M to chase eventual winner, kept on well over final 200M, nearest finish.
3 9 ORIENTAL SMOKE (E467) L Currie B From draw 1 went forward to track leader in a slowly run race, stayed on under pressure final 400M to go 3rd just before line.

5 8 STORM LEGEND (G139) A Badel -- Took up running in midfield along the fence, tried hard chasing leaders passing 400M but was always held towards the finish.
6 5 RUNNING AHEAD (G313) K C Leung -- Restrained to race behind midfield, 4Ls to make up 400M, ran on fairly, never a threat to leaders. (Blood in trachea.)
