1 14 STRATHPEFFER (H095) M Chadwick B/TT- From draw 12 caught racing wide behind midfield 5-6Ls , let down in good style on straightening, hit the front 150M out putting a good gap on the field towards the finish.
2 11 MISSION VOICE (H444) L Ferraris B1 Chased the pace 2-wide, battled on well early straight, led by a slim margin inside 200M but couldn't hold off winner late stages.
3 8 SUPER UNICORN (H481) C Y Ho H/TT Settled towards the rear 5-6Ls away, ran on steadily from top of straight, steadied 150M, not pace of winner final stages.
4 7 LUCKY TOUCH (J203) Z Purton B/TT Slow to begin, settled towards the rear of the field along the inside, had big task in hand 400M , unable to obtain clear running 300M-200M then finished off pleasingly to take 4th.
5 12 YOUNG HORIZON (G272) E C W Wong -- Failed to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position, caught racing wide towards the rear, had some work to do 400M, made steady progress towards the line.
6 5 SUPER LEGENDS (H364) H Bowman B-/TT Caught racing 3-wide in midfield on settling, little change to the turn, responded well early straight when asked but run ended 150M and no extra towards the finish.
7 9 VANTASTIC CHOICE (G401) C L Chau -- Sent forward on jumping from wide draw, tracked leader into straight, kept battling to stay in contention early straight, outpaced by rivals final 150M.
8 1 SUNNY DA BEST (J118) K De Melo TT Soon led setting a good pace, driven inside 300M found less than expected under top weight, faded towards the line. (Jockey : raced too keenly in the lead and left without a finishing effort.)
9 13 ISLAND GOLDEN (H018) L Hewitson B-/TT Stayed close to leaders early stages before dropping back to a position ahead of midfield, couldn't quicken enough on straightening. Never threatened.
10 2 FOOLISH HEART (J054) K C Leung V From wide draw chased leaders in a 3-wide spot without cover, couldn't rally under a big weight, faded to 10th closing. (Jockey : made abnormal breathing noise during race / Vet - no abnormality.)

12 4 CELTIC TIMES (G230) K Teetan B/TT Jumped only fairly, maintained a position behind midfield, similar position turning home but offered little when it mattered. (Jockey : prefer a firmer surface.)
13 3 D STAR (G374) Y L Chung B/TT Switched off to race at the rear, came under serious pressure home turn, well beaten.
14 6 WINNING TURN (J163) M F Poon -- In midfield early stages, lay out making the home turn and soon pushed along, already beaten top of straight.
