1 6 WATCHMAN (CB327) Z Purton B/SR 4-back on fence about 5Ls or 6Ls off speed down backstretch, snuck a little closer turning for home and hit the front 100 M out, ridden out.
2 9 DIAMOND FLYER (CG199) G Boss TT Eased back from a wide gate, 7Ls last at halfway when niggled along, steadily made ground but disappointed for running at 200 M, ran on well again for a place once clear.
3 2 SABRE AND GOLD (CE179) C W Wong -- 3-back on fence about 4Ls off the lead in mid-division at the 1000 M and about 3Ls down in 6th turning for home. Challenged for the lead 150 M out but couldn't sustain the run.

9 10 WINNING PATTERN (CG125) W M Lai PC-/B2/H/TT Led by 1L from wide gate at 1200 M and soon crossed to fence about a neck clear turning for home but soon headed and weakened.
10 3 SILVER WRAITH (CE178) M W Leung B Caught 3-wide without cover at 1100 M and pressed on to race out 2-wide in 2nd a neck off pace from 800 M to home turn, led about 300 M out but faded fast once headed inside final 200 M.
