1 11 ACE CHAMPION (K379) C Y Ho CP/TT Raced keenly early stages when being restrained to obtain a position behind midfield, had over 5Ls to make up 400M, came with a strong finish and drove hard late stages to just get the verdict.
2 4 TYCOON RESOURCES (L234) Y L Chung TT Jumped on terms, settled down 4Ls in mid-division, found the line well from 300M and only narrowly lost out to the winner after a tussle.
3 1 AURIO (K056) Z Purton SR/TT Dropped back from a wide draw, held up in last 6-7Ls off the pace, picked up nicely in the straight and made nice inroads under top weight 135lb to take 3rd just before line.
4 8 MATTERS MOST (K154) E C W Wong B/TT Began well from draw 1, vied for early lead before easing back to track leaders, driven to challenge for the lead again early straight, proved no match for first two passing 200M, lost 3rd near line.
5 6 POWER KOEPP (E301) A Badel B Sat ahead of midfield just over 2Ls off leader, brought wide from 400M, loomed up and fought hard, briefly in front 150M but run ended passing 100M and weakened.
6 2 HARMONY N BLESSED (E061) H Y Yuen B/TT From wide draw driven along to take up a position outside leader, fought hard to stay in contention early straight, no extra passing 100M.
7 10 TANG HEART (L373) A Atzeni TT From draw 3 obtained a midfield position along the fence, driven along 400M but only showed limited response. Never a threat to leaders.
8 9 STORMING DRAGON (J237) B Avdulla B/TT Away in line, restrained to a rearward spot 6Ls off the pace, had task ahead top of the straight but was just fair through the line. Never reached contention.
9 7 KING MILES (J158) C L Chau B-/V1/TT- Stayed close enough behind leaders, held up for clear running 300M to 100M before fading away final stages.
10 5 NORTHERN FIRE BALL (J488) P N Wong TT Went forward as expected and led steadily to the home straight, kept to the task from 300M, lost lead nearing 150M and weakened.
11 12 DEVAS TWELVE (H435) H Bentley TT Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, raced near the rear always, failed to pick up in the straight.
12 3 MOTOR (K165) K Teetan B/TT Caught racing wide behind leaders and had no cover in the middle stages, driven to challenge for the lead 400M, began to weaken 150M, checked 100M losing momentum. (No Vet findings.)
