1 8 LET ME HANDLE IT (CL287) B Doyle -- Towards the rear and not used in early stages, picked up very strongly on straightening, drew away from the field and had the race won with 250M to go. Impressive.
2 1 LUNAR REFLECTIONS (CL009) H W Lai -- Dropped back to last about 7Ls behind leader, ran on from off the pace to take 2nd close home, beaten 5Ls by the winner.
3 4 KING OF SCOTS (CK084) G Cheyne -- Tracked leaders, driven 450M, briefly led near 300M but was no match with the runaway winner, kept on to the line.
4 6 SPINNAKER (CK305) D Whyte TT Placed 3-wide in midfield, had a rough run down the back straight due to the slow early pace, made progress from 400M but was severely checked near 300M, recovered to finish 4th.
5 9 THE ONLY KID (CH173) C K Tong B2/H/TT Slow to muster but gradually improved to a midfield position along the fence, kept on one paced in straight and was never a danger.
6 2 TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) C Y Ho B/H Positioned 2-wide in the group chasing the pace, bumped near 300M, kept on one paced.
7 3 RIVER CAPTAIN (CL130) O Doleuze B Towards the rear, headway from 400M but was severely checked passing 300M, had to shift out for a clear path and not able to be tested until 150M.
8 5 MASTER KEY (CK387) Z Purton P/H/TT Led slowly to 1200M then raced one out one back to straight, faded out of contention passing 300M.
9 7 BRAVE SPIRIT (CJ258) M Chadwick B2/TT Led from 1200M and took them along steadily, headed nearing 300M and no extra.
