1 8 THE AZURE (J227) Z Purton -- On jumping was badly crowded for room, soon guided to the fence and obtained a run behind mid-division, held up 450M-350M, quickened up nicely when asked and got up just in time in a busy finish.
2 4 HIGHLAND RAHY (J298) L Hewitson CP-/B1/TT Prominently ridden, tracked leader from 1300M, poised to strike 300M, fought on under pressure to just go under in a busy finish. (Jockey : lay in in the Home Straight and as a result proved difficult to ride out.)
3 1 HARMONY GALAXY (J266) M F Poon TT From wide draw switched off to race in last, 8Ls off the pace home turn, swung widest for home before closing off strongly under top weight to take 3rd. Nearest finish.
4 2 LUCKY TOUCH (J203) H Bowman B/TT Shifted in abruptly on jumping, drifted back to race near last 7Ls back, had some work to do 400M, closed off well to claim 4th. Nearest finish.
5 9 CHARMING STEED (E494) E C W Wong TT Away well from draw 1, soon led and took them along at good pace under 7lb claimer, fought hard to hold the lead on straightening, headed nearing 50M, lost several places close home.
6 10 AMAZING AWARD (J236) A Atzeni CP/TT Severely checked on jumping when crowded by a rival, ended up near last, had some work to do top of straight, ran on mildly down the inside but was never close enough to challenge leaders.
7 6 YOUTH POWER (H358) M L Yeung B/TT Chased leaders in 4th, raced keenly early stages, had every chance turning home but lacked the extra gear to challenge leaders.
8 11 GOLDEN DARCI (H470) A Badel XB Reserved in a position behind midfield, 5Ls off leader middle stages, kept on only fairly final 300M and was never a winning hope.
9 12 YOU'REMYEVERYTHING (E413) M Chadwick B Taken back from wide draw, raced wide no cover in second half of the field, 6Ls to make up 400M, couldn't muster the pace to challenge.
10 5 GOOD GOOD (J224) B Avdulla B Settled down in midfield, a little further back than intended, hard pressed from 450M but closed off the race one paced.
11 7 GALE SAGA (J152) A Pouchin B Tracked leaders in a race run at good pace, little change in position heading to home turn, couldn't sustain run passing 200M, weakened towards the line.
12 3 PHANTOM CYCLONE (J271) B Thompson CP/TT Maintained a position ahead of midfield, came under pressure 500M, soon gave ground and weakened to last.
