1 | 9 | HAPPY INDEX (N162) | G Mosse | CP | Pressed on from a wide gate, worked hard to eventually cross, set tempo to suit, kicked on turning and stayed on well enough to hold off fast closing rival. |
2 | 5 | COSMIC BOOM (N019) | B Prebble | H/XB/TT | Drifted back from an outside alley, raced 3 wide 7ls back towards rear, same margin back turning, made a wide run and closed off strongly in straight to just miss. |

5 | 10 | HAPPY TUMBLER (CL048) | C Y Ho | -- | No pace as usual, took up spot at rear, 7-8ls back, still had plenty to do turning, weaved a passage clear between horses and closed best to be nearest on line. |
6 | 2 | HORSE GALORE (CL220) | C Y Lui | B | Lobbed good position 1 out 1 back, had an ideal run to bend, moved into 2nd chasing leader, tired final 200m and missed frame. |
