1 5 CAPITAL DELIGHT (H262) C Y Ho TT From draw 1 jumped only fairly, moved up to track leaders home turn, held up 350M-250M then closed off strongly to score.
2 7 SELF IMPROVEMENT (H337) K Teetan B/TT Vied for the lead on inside, kicked home strongly passing 300M, only caught by fast finishing winner late.
3 1 VICTORY MOMENTS (H142) Z Purton B/SR/TT Tracked leaders along the 2-path, loomed a serious threat 400M, chased hard but couldn't get near to winner, lost 2nd 150M out but held 3rd comfortably.
4 4 SUPER WIN DRAGON (E253) K De Melo V/TT Settled down midfield, ran home one paced and never posed any threat to first three.
5 2 YOUTHFUL DEAL (G340) B Avdulla B-/SR-/V1/TT Slow to begin, towards the rear early stages before moving closer to midfield home turn, couldn't quicken enough on straightening, never a threat to leaders.
6 8 MUST GO (J133) A Atzeni E/PC/TT Dropped back to race at the rear, plenty to make up 400M, failed to run on.
7 10 JOY COMING (H149) B Thompson B/TT In mid-division, came under pressure home turn and was already beaten top of the straight.
8 6 HONG KONG HALL (G315) A Badel TT Vied for lead on outside, failed to respond to riding early straight, weakened rapidly nearing 200M. (Jockey : not able to obtain a position on the rail and performed disappointingly.)
9 9 HIGHLAND RAHY (J298) L Hewitson TT Caught wide chasing leaders and had no cover for the majority of the event, had enough nearing 400M, weakened away. (Unacceptable Performance.)
10 3 MAGNIAC (H141) H Bowman V/TT Unable to slot in from wide draw, raced very wide and no cover for the majority of the event, dropped to last 500M, eased top of straight. (Unacceptable Performance.)
