1 8 THUNDER BLAZE (L188) M F Poon XB Jumped only fairly, in midfield along the fence early stages, moved within striking distance home turn, loomed behind leaders mid-straight before proving too strong near line.
2 7 ROMANTIC THOR (K012) Z Purton XB/TT Raced in a handy spot behind leaders, well placed to strike 400M, fought well to wrestle the lead 100M out, all out final stages just couldn't hold off winner near line.
3 4 DEFINITIVE (K037) D B McMonagle B/TT Stayed close to leaders but raced wide without cover for the majority of the race, hard driven from 450M, responded well to be challenging for the lead final stages, held by first two at the line.
4 1 TALENTS AMBITION (J136) A Atzeni XB Settled near last about 6Ls off the pace, kept to inside on straightening, was making good progress when running to the back of the eventual winner near 100M. Could have finished closer.
5 9 THRIVING BROTHERS (J396) M Chadwick P1/TT Positively ridden, settled just outside the lead, fought hard to stay in contention from 400M, still with leaders 100M before run came to an end and faded.
6 5 SKY VINO (K054) B Avdulla TT From wide draw slotted into a 3-wide spot in midfield, 4-5Ls to make up 400M, ran on steadily to the line.
7 3 TELECOM FIGHTERS (D482) Y L Chung -- Soon led, set slow pace early stages before quickening up the tempo midway, fought on to hold lead until nearing 100M. No extra late stages.
8 11 ALLCASH (K190) L Hewitson B/TT Jumped only fairly, settled further back in the field than intended, near last turning for home, stayed on without posing serious threat to leaders.
9 10 STURDY RUBY (H207) M L Yeung B/TT Dropped back from draw 1 to race in midfield, had over 4Ls to make up 400M but couldn't muster the speed to challenge..
10 6 SUPER JOY N FUN (J164) C L Chau XB/TT Reserved in mid-division 4Ls off leader, couldn't go on passing 300M. Never reach contention. (Jockey fined for returning 3lbs overweight.)
11 2 DRAGON AIR FORCE (J279) H Bowman TT Settled behind midfield 3-wide, pace very slow in the first half of the race, couldn't improve position when driven along home turn, never dangerous.
12 12 OSI HONOUR (K232) K Teetan -- From wide draw taken across behind runners, raced as the back-marker 7-8Ls off leader, struggled to pick up pace when driven along 500M, failed to improve position. (Roarer.)
