1 6 NEW DEERFIELD (N005) R Fourie B/TT Patiently ridden in a rearward position, found plenty when let down inside 300M, quickened well to cut down the leaders close to the line.
2 5 MI SAVVY (N138) O Doleuze SR-/B1 Chased leader one off the fence, quickened to a narrow lead near 200M, kept on well but couldn't match the finishing speed of the winner final 100M.
3 9 BRAVENESS (P148) T Clark -- Tracked leader, got a dream run inside passing 400M, dueled with the eventual 2nd from 200M but both were readily left behind by the winner over final stages.
4 7 PERFECT FINISH (N176) M L Yeung TT Fractious in stalls, slowly away, settled towards the rear, ran on well down inside.

10 10 XI YING MEN (CL352) C K Tong B Soon led, slowed things down from 800M, headed 250M, weakened out of contention.
