1 2 BEAUTY DESTINY (H281) A Atzeni H/P/TT Slotted into a 3-wide position in midfield, worked into the race well passing 500M, let down well early straight and battled his way to the lead near 50M. Gamely prevailed.
2 10 HAPPY FAT CAT (G166) A Hamelin TT Away fast and led 1L on settling, tried hard passing 300m and maintained the lead until near 50M when winner battled past. Good effort.
3 11 YOUNG ARROW (J401) H Bentley CP/XB Taken back from wide draw, settled near last early stages before moving closer to midfield passing 600M, wide into straight then drove hard to go 3rd near line.
4 7 MOJAVE DESERT (J330) M Chadwick XB Jumped awkwardly, settled towards the rear early stages, improved to midfield mid-race, came with a decent finish passing 300M to just miss 3rd in a tight photo finish.
5 12 MAGNIFICENT NINE (H433) A Badel B/E Broke well, restrained to race behind midfield on settling, 4Ls to make up on leaders 400M, worked home steadily but always held by first few.
6 8 RIGHTEOUS ARION (H059) Y L Chung TT Jumped on terms, caught racing wide without cover from draw 11, moved forward 550M to press leaders, fought hard to mid-straight but was overrun late.
7 3 RIDING TOGETHER (K081) Z Purton XB/TT1 Pressed on after the start to be chasing leader on outside, stayed in touch with leaders early straight but lacked a kick final stages and was safely held in the end.
8 5 REZEKI (J340) K Teetan -- Jumped well enough from draw 1, chased leaders into straight, could not pick up well enough and just battled to the line.
9 1 SUGAR SUGAR (G016) K H Chan B/TT Reserved in second half of the field, got shuffled back to the rear over the home turn, lacked a finishing response on straightening. (Jockey : no explanation for the disappointing performance / No Vet findings.)
10 9 THUNDER PRINCE (K017) C Y Ho TT A little slow to begin and ended up last on settling, raced keenly throughout the early and middle stages, swung wide into straight but the finishing response was only fair.
11 6 MIDORI GLORY (J248) M F Poon PC-/TT Tracked leaders in 3rd place early, shuffled back passing 700M, failed to respond and drifted out of contention early straight.
12 4 VON BAER (K198) M L Yeung -- Jumped fairly, settled at the back of the field, saved ground on the turn but showed no turn of foot on straightening. Never involved.
