2 3 ELITE FORTUNE (CJ212) O Doleuze -- Slowest away, mostly one from rear at least 6Ls from the pace before final turn, no chance with winner but ran home strongly to nick 2nd on the line.
3 9 AMITYSHIP (CK023) Z Purton B/TT Settled 4th about 3Ls off pace out 2-wide at halfway, steadied slightly at point of home turn, finished off fairly well but just missed quinella.
4 11 FLORAL IMAGE (CK027) Y T Cheng XB/H1/TT 3-back the fence in 5th about 4Ls off pace at 1000 M and a little closer spinning for home, had his chance to place, failed narrowly. (Tactic questioned.)

7 10 VICTORY MASCOT (CJ243) G Cheyne TT Worse than midfield in a 2-wide position initially, 3-wide and 5Ls back in 8th off last bend, crowded at 200 M but well held in any case.
8 4 BREAKING POINT (CJ179) J Lloyd -- Led by 1L on the fence at the 1200 M, led or disputed the advantage before being headed just before 200 M then yielding ground rapidly.
9 12 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) C W Wong TT Went back from wide gate, detached and at least 8Ls adrift 600 M, posed no sort of threat from there.
