1 7 NUMBERS (L080) K C Leung XB Soon led, pressed by rival middle stages setting a fast pace to the straight, kept going well passing 400M, found extra mid-straight to beat off his nearest rival, went clear late stages. Impressive.
2 5 SPEED DRAGON (H380) L Hewitson B Tracked leader in a fast run race, fought on in the straight to claim 2nd close home but couldn't get near to the winner. (Jockey : lay out under pressure for the majority of home straight.)
3 4 ENCOUNTERED (G236) K Teetan -- Settled towards the rear in a fast run race, last entering home straight, stayed on to take 3rd without troubling the runaway winner.
4 6 ENSUED (H452) A Atzeni P Caught wide early stages, improved to race outside leader, failed to pick up early straight and looked beaten, made up some ground late however and not beaten far by the placegetters at the line.
5 3 CHANCHENG GLORY (H212) Z Purton B/XB Chased leaders in a fast run race, came with a strong looking challenge 350M and got within 0.5L of the eventual winner mid-straight, run soon ended however and found not much closing stages.
6 2 BEAUTY JOY (E058) H Bowman TT Given a waiting ride at the rear, commenced his move 550M, came closest to leaders 250M but had nothing more to offer final stages.
7 1 STRAIGHT ARRON (G435) D B McMonagle V Obtained a midfield position 3-4Ls off leader middle stages, couldn't go on passing 300M. (Jockey - his mount reluctant to stretch out under pressure in home straight.)
