1 9 AURORA PATCH (K097) M Chadwick V/TT Tracked leaders in 4th, raced keenly middle stages, blundered and shifted out abruptly 500M causing interference to rivals, let down nicely from 400M and drew clear late stages to win pleasingly.
2 8 IGOR STRAVINSKY (K086) H Doyle B/TT Driven forward to find the lead, set steady pace middle stages, kept going well in the straight, headed by winner passing 200M, faded late stages just held onto 2nd.
3 6 LOYAL BRIGHT (K574) K C Leung CP Bumped at the start, from draw 11 moved forward chasing leaders, checked 500M to avoid rival, recovered and ran on well towards the line, just missed 2nd.
4 7 GALACTIC VOYAGE (K514) C L Chau TT1 Jumped only fairly, held up towards the rear, saved ground along the inside, came from well back and made solid inroads towards the line. Pleasing debut.
5 3 AKASHVANI (K234) Z Purton B Settled down in midfield along the 2-path, was severely checked 500M and ran wide, couldn't quicken enough after the interference.
6 1 CELESTIAL HERO (K363) H Bowman CP Jumped on terms, reserved in midfield along the fence, lacked the turn of foot to capitalise from 400M. Always held by leaders.
7 11 SUPER LEGENDS (H364) Y L Chung B/TT Stalked the lead in 2nd, kept battling early straight to stay in touch with leader, no extra late stage and weakened.
8 4 NEW FUTURE FOLKS (J418) J McDonald P/TT Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, ended up in last spot, checked 500M and had task in hand top of straight, ran past beaten rivals only.
9 2 LIFELINE EXPRESS (H439) B Avdulla E Jumped cleanly, held up behind midfield but couldn't quite finish off on straightening. (Jockey - would derive a fitness benefit from today's performance. / No Vet findings.)
10 5 SUNNY DA BEST (J118) C Y Ho TT Jumped awkwardly, settled near last, was severely checked 500M and ran wide, worked home only fairly after the interference. Never a threat to leaders.
11 10 ETERNAL RICHNESS (K557) M F Poon B- Tracked the pace in 3rd, was handy enough on straightening but didn't go on with it, weakened badly mid-straight.
