3 2 HARMONY FIRE (E175) C Y Ho XB Raced wide when between runners in midfield before becoming keen, & being tightened & checked near half-way. Entered last section 3.5L from the lead before closing strongly to be narrowly beaten with legitimate excuse.

8 1 CANTSTOPTHEFEELING (C432) N Callan B/TT Raced just worse than midfield early before being forced 4 wide with cover after the first bend when racing tight with hampered opponent. Forced second widest on cornering before finishing only one paced in last furlong.

10 11 GOUTEN OF GARO (A291) M Chadwick B/TT Crowded on jumping before mustering speed to midfield when racing between runners. Crowded near the 600m mark before entering last section only 3.5L from lead. Peaked on effort soon after straightening & weakened late.
11 7 FOURAWARRIOR (E081) K Teetan -- Began only fairly & raced very wide in midfield throughout. Left without cover after the first bend, widest runner on cornering before playing no part in dash to line after having poor run in transit.
12 9 TOWARDS SUCCESS (E036) H W Lai H Slowest to begin & consequently raced at the tail early before moving slightly closer near half-way. Steadied at first bend when continuing along inside. Cornered around 4.5L from lead before weakening to last in straight.
