1 7 BEAR MACHO (CG152) A Delpech -- Went forward from wide alley and took lead 900 M out. Kept on well in straight and drew clear to win easily final 250 M.
2 14 THUNDER FLASH (CG270) S King -- Led or disputed lead early before sitting 2 to 3Ls off the speed from 900 M. Made up good ground 300 M out to secure a distant 2nd final 100 M.
3 4 HONG KONG LAD (CG221) G Schofield TT Soon led on rail. Headed 900 M out but maintained position just 1/2L back. Every chance turning in but unable to find an extra gear final 250 M and lost 2nd inside 100 M.
4 11 NORTHERN HERO (CG172) W C Marwing -- Lost considerable ground after jumping awkwardly. At least 10Ls back at 1000 M. Still 8Ls down turning in. Made up a lot of ground final 250 M but simply had too much to do.
5 8 BIG KAHUNA (CG177) C Munce -- Lost ground at start. Recovered to be around midfield at 1000 M. Checked at 800 M. Improved along rail rounding home bend to be 3Ls down turning in. Kept on steadily in straight despite having to steady 300 M out.
6 5 ACCELERATOR (CG179) S Dye -- Prominent. 2Ls off the pace rounding home bend. Kept on without threatening in straight before weakened inside 200 M.
