2 4 ELEGANCE DESIRE (L102) D Beadman XB Held up behind midfield about 4 back on the fence, into clear 300M and was produced with every chance, briefly led 100M but was nailed by the winner close home.
3 1 MAELSTROM (CK370) J Victoire -- Always in touch 2Ls behind leader, accelerated well once driven and quickly moved to the front passing 250M, couldn't match strides with the first two but found enough to hold on for 3rd.
4 12 LEGEND EXPRESS (CK224) H W Lai B Slowly away then checked shortly after jump, ended up in last about 7Ls behind leader, fanned 3-wide into straight, made good headway final 400M to finish closest on the line.
5 8 ROMA THUNDER (L109) B Doyle TT Switched off towards the back and waited with till 450M, was momentarily steadied near 300M before staying on to go 5th just before the line.
6 11 MY MATE ADRIC (L004) W M Lai H1 Pushed along to a prominent position just behind leader, had every chance turning in, kept battling towards the finish but no extra pace to seriously challenge.
7 3 CAT STORM (L082) M Chadwick TT Never far off the pace but raced 3-wide without cover, briefly threatened early stretch but unable to sustain run inside 200M.
8 2 FERRO BEAU (CG244) K W Leung -- Held up towards the tail of the field in early and middle stages, saved ground on the inside, made some headway inside 400M without reaching the leaders.
