1 5 BOWSER (H460) A Hamelin TT Maintained a midfield position 3Ls away, responded well when driven near 300M, led 50M out and just held on at the line from the fast finishing 2nd and 3rd.
2 10 LUCKY SYMPHONY (J089) A Atzeni H1/P1/TT Jumped only fairly and settled towards the rear, charged home strongly final 250M, just missed in a desperately close finish.
3 14 PROSECCO (E457) K Teetan SR/V/TT Bumped after the start, soon shifted across to the outside rail 6Ls towards the rear, was badly held up for running until 50M then flew home to almost win it.
4 2 FUN ELITE (J042) H Bowman TT Jumped awkwardly, moved up to track leaders, loomed a strong chance 200M before outsprinted by first three close home
5 6 CHEERFUL WORLD (H352) L Ferraris -- Chased leaders along stands' rail, showed greenness when placed under pressure 300M, still in contention going into 150M but was outsprinted late. (Jockey : his mount lay in from 250M and proved difficult to ride out.)
6 1 THE GREAT MASTER (H457) Y L Chung H1/TT Soon led along the outside rail on jumping from draw 14, joined by rivals near 200M, grudgingly gave way final stages.
7 13 HELLS BELLS (H280) B Thompson SR/XB/TT1 Bumped at the start, showed speed to be racing just off the speed, had difficulty obtaining clear running 200M-100M but always held by leaders in the run home. (Roarer).
8 3 METRO WARRIOR (D387) E C W Wong CP Bounded on jumping and lost ground, restrained near the rear, made some ground final 250M but posed little threat to leaders.
9 8 PROSPEROUS SMILE (J014) A Badel CP- Moved forward to be pressing leader, hard driven to maintain its position from 400M, no extra 150M weakened away. (Bled.)
10 12 FANCY STAR (H428) M L Yeung P/TT Settled down midfield, unable to obtain clear running from 350M and couldn't be ridden out to the finish. Inconclusive run.
11 4 PANDA (H466) Z Purton B Bumped at the start, held up in midfield, found disappointingly little when asked and never able to challenge. (Jockey : didn't travel well amongst other runners and failed to finish to the race off.)
12 11 MARIO (J100) B Avdulla B Shifted in at the start and was bumped, ended up at the back 5-6Ls away, never near to challenge.
13 9 CERVIN (H253) K H Chan B-/TT1 Obtained a position midfield towards the center of track, failed to pick up when pushed along halfway, never dangerous.
14 7 DEEP PURSUIT (H288) H Bentley H1/TT1 Towards the rear, couldn't go on passing 400M. (Blood in trachea.)
