1 2 JOLLY WONGCHOY (CH076) C K Tong -- Out with rest, held a prominent spot behind leader, had run of race with steady tempo, tracked nicely on bend, eased out on turning, took over at 250 M and held on strongly to defy rivals. Much improved effort.
2 9 TELECOM OWNER (CH149) M Nunes B/TT Fastest out, took up running easily but pressured throughout by outside horse, kept rails and managed a moderate tempo, under a hold turning and fought hard but couldn't dash with winner, came again for 2nd.
3 4 MASCOT FORTUNE (CH221) B Prebble XB Shade tardy to begin, regathered to hold a spot behind speed 2 wide 2Ls back, lost ground at 700 M, 3Ls down on turning, switched out but lacked finish of previous start, closed steadily for 3rd.
4 7 STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) D Whyte -- Awkwardly out, ended up in behind main bunch 3Ls back racing 2 wide, travelled well on circle and tracked 3 wide 4Ls back on turning, gradually improved in straight to be nearest on line.
5 1 DANESIS (CH194) E Saint-Martin TT Away well, pressed on but didn't have enough pace to cross, posted 3 wide 2Ls back without cover for best part, did it tough to bend, switched to middle but lacked a turn of foot and just battled at same pace to line.
6 5 KEEP SMILING (CH200) D Nikolic -- Awkwardly away, failed to muster, raced at rear 5Ls back early but lost touch in mid-section, made plenty of ground to be 4Ls back turning, kept on to 200 M before run ended. Better effort.
