1 4 RELENTLESS ME (A178) C L Chau B/XB Began well from the one draw, niggled along on the rail about 2L off the pace in 4th, became 3rd rounding home bend, sustained good progress inside the final 200 metres to just get up on line. (Jockey lost whip 100 metres out.)
2 2 STANLEY PARK (C446) C Wong H-/V1 Soon took up running, obtained rails run 1000 metres out, kicked over 2L clear inside the 300 metres, unable to sustain effort closing stages and pipped at post.

5 1 FANTASY (D100) J Moreira B/TT Settled in midfield, widest runner into straight, inconvenienced 300 metres out, fought on well without threatening, tightened close to home.
6 7 CALIFORNIA LEVEE (C523) K Teetan CP-/B1/H1/TT Recovered quickly from a moderate start to reach 1L 2nd after the first 200 metres, chased the leader into straight, kept on before finding no extra inside the final 200 metres.
