2 9 RIVER VIEWS (G212) K Teetan -- Showed speed after the start to lead. Continued in lead until being joined by the winner near the 150m, bounded the track close to line when holding down second, over a length clear of third but no match for winner.
3 5 FIGHT TIME (H409) M F Poon B1/TT1 Got back to race worse than midfield along the rail. Had clear running on straightening, was 4L from the lead entering last section before finishing well, closing to third in final 50m.
4 6 CALIFORNIATOTALITY (H418) Y L Chung B/TT Steadied after start & got back to race three wide with cover near the rear. Came wider to avoid incident on straightening, was 6L from lead entering last section before making eye-catching late ground to just miss third.
5 8 DEVAS TWELVE (H435) M Chadwick TT Raced in midfield between runners throughout early & middle stages. Was hampered & lost ground near 500m when rival horse went amiss, was nearly 6L from the lead entering last section before making eye-catching late ground.
6 12 NISHIKADO (H172) L Hewitson B Had a soft run on the leaders back throughout. Was in second place and only 1.5L from the lead entering final section before giving some ground in the run to the line to be well held in midfield.
7 2 CIRCUIT MIGHTY (G078) H Bowman TT Pushed forward but was caught racing three wide without cover outside the leaders. Hung out rounding the home turn, bumped with winner near the 400m when 2L from lead but weakened to midfield in straight.
8 3 FAST VICTORY (H393) K C Leung -- Shifted behind runners after start & raced third last between rivals. Had clear running on straightening when many rivals were forced wider due to incident, was just over 4L from lead at the 400m & held that deficit to line.
9 1 CHARITY BINGO (H254) J McDonald -- Drifted back & raced at the tail after the start. Shifted wider just before 500m, shifted outwards abruptly near 500m to avoid injured rival, was over 7L from the lead at 400m, passed a couple late but was never likely.
10 4 GALVANIC (H147) C Y Ho TT Raced three wide with cover in midfield early. Was checked & veered outwards near the 550m, was extremely wide entering straight, shifted back inwards & bumped near 400m before weaking in last furlong. Had some excuse.

12 10 SUNNY SHINES (H484) A Atzeni -- Raced three wide with cover in midfield throughout. Was badly hampered & taken outwards sharply near the 550m following incident, was just over 5L from the lead on straightening but weakened to be beaten over 10L on line.
