1 12 MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) T H So -- Eased to rear, 7Ls off the leaders along the fence, favoured by the fast tempo, progressed steadily 300 M, drifted away 100 M to score comfortably.
2 6 VICTORY CONQUEROR (CJ230) D Beadman XB/TT Prominent, 2-1/2Ls off the leaders on the rails, benefited by the fast pace, closed the race off strongly, led briefly 150 M, overhauled 100 M, ran on for 2nd.
3 10 LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) O Doleuze -- Pushed to take a prominent spot as usual, 1L off the leaders 2 to 3-wide, not suited by the fast sectionals, ran on well to the line and grabbed 3rd without much threat to the winner.
