1 5 WHAT YOU DREAM (P375) H Bowman H/XB Began OK, allowed to settle at rear in one-off position. Dropped to last entering turn, switched wide for clear run in straight and finished off strongly.
2 7 SMART BALL (P277) K C Ng TT Jumped best, led to 1200m when put under pressure by another runner. Kicked clear 1000m, led to 200m, outsprinted final stages but kept on well.
3 4 REDWOOD BABY (P358) J Moreira H/TT Began fairly, ridden to hold rail 3-back from leader. Edged closer at turn, lay in 400m, then lay out under pressure in straight, doing best work final 200m.
4 3 WHY NOT (N053) A Suborics TT Ridden along between horses early to obtain forward position before switched off back stretch 5L from leader. Turned wide, had clear run and finished off nicely.
5 1 GALLANT TRIUMPH (P173) Z Purton B/TT Jumped OK, outpaced and soon last. Inched forward turning for home, widest into straight, ran on steadily.
6 6 JAEGER BOMB (P281) T Clark B/H Pressed forward to put pressure on leader from 1200m to 1000m before easing a length back. Kept on gamely to 200m before giving ground gradually.
7 10 OWNERS' PRIDE (N044) C Y Ho -- Jumped with field, ridden to hold rail grabbing box seat on settling. Shuffled back slightly final turn, boxed on fairly in straight.
8 8 GRACEFUL KINGDOM (P145) T Berry -- Jumped well, racing alongside leading pack before easing to 5th. Put under pressure 600m but only one paced. (Rider said horse sweated up badly and firm ground did not suit).
9 2 RED DANCER (P264) O Doleuze P/TT No early pace, settling at rear before edging forward but wide from 800m. Taken wider entering straight but little response to hard riding.
10 9 WINNING MASCOT (CL342) W M Lai -- Ridden aggressively to obtain forward position but unable to cross to rail and left wide without cover from 1500m. Gave ground steadily from 800m.
