1 6 JOYFUL HUNTER (H198) C Y Ho XB Caught wide from outside gate, dropped back and settled at the rear further back than intended, plenty to do 400M, finished determinedly from last place to lead the field near 50M. Nice win.
2 7 ARMOUR WAR EAGLE (J039) M L Yeung H1 From wide draw taken back to a rearward spot, brought wide 500M, came with a good rally to take 2nd. Encouraging debut.
3 11 SWIFT ASCEND (H395) K Teetan XB Settled down midfield along the fence, switched out 450M to challenge, ran on well to go 3rd near line.
4 9 CAPITAL LEGEND (G333) M Chadwick TT Held up in mid-division, kept on steadily over final 300M, got up for 4th late.
5 3 I GIVE (H036) A Atzeni -- Soon led, kept on well turning for home, caught by first few final 50M.
6 2 COTTON FINGERS (H398) J McDonald TT In 5th place on settling, always in touch, responded well early straight to go 2nd, couldn't sustain the challenge past 150M.
7 8 MAGNIFICENT NINE (H433) Z Purton H1 Given a waiting ride towards the rear, 8Ls off the pace 400M, was making good progress when checked 150M and lost all chance.
8 4 WINGS OF WAR (H162) K De Melo B/TT From wide draw went forward to race outside leader, held on to 2nd until nearing 200M, had little left late.
9 10 SPEED SWORD (H397) A Badel TT Chased leaders on inside, couldn't keep up passing 200M, faded towards the finish.
10 5 PULSAR STRIDER (G407) L Hewitson TT Tracked leaders along 2-path, fought hard to stay in contention early straight, no extra final 150M.
11 1 TRUE GENIUS (J073) Y L Chung H1/TT1 Jumped only fairly, settled near last, driven along 550M but failed to respond to riding. Made no impression on debut.
