1 9 AMAZING KID (K434) A Atzeni -- Held up in mid-division, wide into straight before running on strongly to take lead nearing 100M. Won his 4th race of season with something in hand.
2 6 METRO POWER (K408) J Orman -- Moved up to press leader on outside, kept on well in the straight and led nearing 200M, couldn't hold off winner late.
3 8 STORMING DRAGON (J237) L Hewitson TT Bumped on jumping, held up near the rear 4-5Ls, switched away from fence turning home before closing off well to take 3rd near the line.
4 3 PEGAS (L075) H Bowman TT Caught racing wide no cover behind the pacesetters, fought hard to stay in contention early straight, lacked the extra from 200M and was only battling from there.
5 5 WINGS OF WAR (H162) M L Yeung XB-/B Fast away, held a prominent position on settling, 4th at 400M, fought hard to the line but wasn't gaining ground on leaders. Raced in restricted room 100M.
6 1 LUCKY PLANET (H235) M F Poon B/TT Slow to begin, settled behind midfield further back than intended, fought on steadily in the straight but couldn't quicken enough to get past leaders.
7 2 MATTERS MOST (K154) E C W Wong B/TT Soon in front, pressed by rival in the lead, headed nearing 200M before fading final stages.
8 7 BEAUTY GLORY (E459) A Badel TT From an outside draw obliged to settle back in the field, had some work to do 400M, couldn't launch a serious challenge. (Jockey - found it difficult to make up ground in the home straight.)
9 10 INVINCIBLE STARR (L078) R Kingscote TT Jumped only fairly, raced at the rear over 5Ls off the pace, plenty to do turning for home but was just fair through the line. Never threatened.
10 4 SPICY GOLD (H440) D B McMonagle B1/XB1/TT- Jumped awkwardly, settled down midfield along the fence, found little on straightening and was easily accounted for. (Jockey - no explanation for the horse's performance.)
