2 13 TRAVEL GLORY (E170) H W Lai B Had a nice position in midfield away from the rail. Eased three wide near the 600m, straightened just under 3L from the lead before closing strongly all the way to the line to just miss in a bob of the heads on the wire.
3 3 MAXIMIZE HEART (D311) H Bowman -- Raced just worse than midfield early before improving along the rail to race in midfield on middle stages. Stayed close to the inside on straightening, closed well all the way to the line to move to third in final 25m when beaten under 1L.
4 9 APEX TOP (D136) L Ferraris B Began very fast and came across from gate 14 to lead. Continued to lead until being passed quickly by the first two inside the last 75m, boxed on well to only be beaten 1.25L on line.
5 7 SMART BEAUTY (G477) Y L Chung B/H/TT Raced just worse than midfield between runners. Eased wider passing the 550m, was the second widest on straightening when around 4.5L from the lead before making late ground down the outside to only be beaten 2.25L into fifth.
6 1 WINWIN THIRTYTHREE (C110) E C W Wong V Drifted back to race in a rearward along the rail. Stayed along the inside, held up on straightening, was making steady ground along rail before being crowded, checked & losing ground near the 200m before finishing ok late.
7 4 PEAK TO PEAK (D472) C Y Ho B/TT Pushed forward, raced third early before improving to race outside the leader from the 900m. Peaked on effort at the 250m when about a length behind before weakening out in last furlong to be beaten over 5L in midfield.
8 10 INSPIRING CITY (G267) L Hewitson -- Began awkwardly & lost a few lengths before racing rearward. Shifted outwards after straightening when over 5L behind before managing to pass a few tiring rivals when running onto midfield but only maintaining margin.
9 11 YOUNG SPARKLE (G066) K Teetan B Pushed forward, raced second, crossed by leader near 1100m, moved off rail & raced 1,1 from about the 900m. Raced tight & bumped a few times on straightening before weakening out pretty poorly in final 250m.
10 5 NORDIC COMBINED (G015) A Hamelin B/TT Blundered after start before being steadied & taken back to race in a bunch at tail. Was a clear last on straightening when 7L behind before shifting to be the widest, passed a few tiring rivals without making any ground.
11 8 GREEN LASER (E409) Z Purton B/TT Got back to race worse than midfield when three wide with cover. Was forced wider passing the 600m, was the widest runner on straightening when just under 6L from the lead before weakening a length in the run to the line.
12 14 GIVE WAY PLEASE (E035) M Chadwick B/H/XB/TT Was trapped racing three wide without cover in midfield in early & middle stages. Shifted out to be five wide on cornering & came under immediate pressure before weakening to be beaten 8L (roarer again).
13 2 TURTLE AGAIN (H083) K C Leung B/TT Raced midfield between runners for the majority. Straightened just under 4L from the lead, was finishing off only moderately & was no factor before being slightly short of room in final 150m & not ridden out thereafter.
