2 6 LUCRATIVE EIGHT (K542) K Teetan TT Ridden from a middle barrier to vie for lead early, gaining 1L 2nd 4-wide onto first bend, soon came to tackle leader in home straight and hit the front 300M out only to be outsprinted 150M out.
3 1 ISLAND BUDDY (J217) C L Chau CP Broke well from the one draw niggling along early, gradually settled about 2L back in 3rd from over 800M out, obtained a clear run over 200M out but unable to quicken to threaten.

5 9 STAR OF HEARTS (L271) Y L Chung -- Dropped to last early despite ridden along, made headway on rail after first 200M to reach 8th towards rear shortly afterwards, snuck up on inside in straight reaching within 2L of pace briefly 200M out, soon found no extra.
6 7 INCREDIBLE MOMENT (K275) R Kingscote -- Gradually shifted back early to rear of midfield very wide without cover, ridden slightly closer for 3-wide position with cover home bend, kept on under pressure from over 3L 5th into straight until faded inside final 100M.
7 10 FORTUNE SUPERNOVA (K287) M F Poon B-/TT Settled in last few 3-wide with cover, widest runner turning in for home, ran on steadily under pressure down the centre of the straight, never nearer.

9 5 SIGHT DREAMER (J542) H Bowman TT Began moderately settling towards rear sharing 8th, shifted 3-wide with cover rounding home bend, swung wider into straight making short-lived efforts before finding no extra 150M out.
10 8 LEAN FLYER (L386) E Brown -- Took up running over 1000M out setting a sound pace and led until weakened over 350M out.
