1 | 12 | CITRON SPIRIT (T286) | C Schofield | H/XB | Crowded on jumping, off heels and dropped back, before recovering quickly to push to midfield. Went searching in the straight and found room from 200m. Good turn of foot, grabbed leader at 50m and was comfortable late. |
2 | 4 | SOLAR HEI HEI (T242) | H T Mo | -- | Pushed forward early to lead, and set a slow tempo. Stayed on strongly in the straight. Faded late, and just held onto 2nd. |

4 | 11 | HEALTHY JOYFUL (S358) | H N Wong | B/H/TT | Pushed out from the wide draw to sit around midfield. Prominent in the straight and ran well to the line. Jockey lost left rein at 50m, and horse peaked late. |
