2 | 3 | HAPPY FAT CAT (G166) | H N Wong | P-/PC1 | Driven forward from draw 11, caught wide no cover chasing leaders, fought on steadily in the straight, no match for winner, held on for 2nd at the line. |
3 | 12 | RAGING BLAZE (E258) | A Badel | TT | Reserved behind midfield, held up from early straight to near 200M, closed off well to claim 3rd near line, just missed 2nd spot. |
4 | 5 | DIAMOND SOARS (G201) | S De Sousa | H/TT | Up with early pace before emerging as leader passing 800M, headed by the fast finishing winner 200M out, faded closing stages, lost 3rd near line. |
5 | 1 | GOODMANSHIP (E208) | L Hewitson | B/TT | Bustled along after the start, settled ahead of midfield, stayed on moderately under top weight, not beaten far by place-getters but no threat to runaway winner. |
