1 3 BEAUTY WAVES (H294) Z Purton TT Soon led, set good pace to straight before quickening up impressively from 250M, opened up a big lead and maintained the advantage to the line. (New Track record.)
2 8 TOMODACHI KOKOROE (H303) H Bentley BO1/TT Chased leader on outside in a race run at good tempo, couldn't keep up with leader from 250M but fought on steadily to hold 2nd.
3 6 AURORA LADY (J066) A Atzeni CP/TT From wide draw obtained a midfield position along the 3-path, ran on mildly over final 300M for 3rd. Not reach winner.
4 5 KAHOLO ANGEL (H216) E C W Wong TT Jumped on terms, guided to a rail spot in second half of the field, briefly held up for clear running approaching top of straight, ran on evenly to take 4th without troubling winner.
5 1 MAGIC CONTROL (J333) K H Chan CP1/TT Jumped well from draw 2, chased leader on inside, raced keenly in the middle stages, battled hard early straight and held 3rd to 200M, faded late stages.
6 11 AERIS NOVA (J534) M Chadwick B/XB/TT Jumped only fairly from draw 1, settled down in midfield about 3Ls off pace, kept on one paced in the straight. Never a serious threat.
7 2 RAGING BLIZZARD (H368) H Bowman P Jumped only fairly, settled back in the field about 6Ls off the good pace, waited with until a gap opened up at 300M, made some progress without threatening. (Jockey - not too disappointed with the performance.)

9 4 MAJESTIC KNIGHT (G258) L Ferraris B Jumped well and ended up more forward than intended, raced wide no cover chasing leaders throughout, 4th top of straight, couldn't sustain run 200M and weakened.
10 12 STORM RIDER (J027) K Teetan B Travelled in a 2-wide spot behind midfield, ran on fairly final 300M. Never likely.

12 7 FULL CREDIT (J185) M F Poon TT In the group chasing leaders, raced keenly early stages, came under pressure nearing 400M, soon weakened out of contention. (Jockey - made respiratory noise during race / Roarer.)
