1 11 FLYING ON THE TURF (C477) Z Purton B/XB/TT Had a nice run 1,1 for the majority. Swept to the lead at the 150m & went on to win cozily.
2 3 KOKUSHI MUSOU (G006) C Y Ho H-/TT Raced in midfield away from the rail throughout. Raced tight with rival near 450m, eased three wide just before straightening, closed off well down the outside to move to second near the 100m mark.
3 10 CORDYCEPS ONE (E107) R Maia B/H Began awkwardly & lost a length before racing worse than midfield when one off the rail. Eased wider passing the 400m when about 5L behind, was the second widest on straightening before making late ground down the outside.
4 4 FARIBAULT (D454) H Bentley B Had a soft run in midfield along the rail throughout. Moved off the rail on straightening when about 3L from lead before finishing off steadily to 4th but never looking a real threat.
5 9 COLONEL (D090) A Hamelin V Held the lead in early stages before being joined at 1000m mark & then crossed near the 800m. Only 1.5L behind at 400m, stayed near the inside in straight, just over-run in late stages when weakening slightly to be beaten 3L.
6 1 SUPER VINCE (G363) K Teetan XB/TT Bumped & badly crowded shortly after start & was then steadied back to the tail. Continued at rearward on straightening before being held up for clear running the entirety of the straight. Finished midfield without tested.
6 2 TELECOM SPEED (G259) H Bowman -- Raced in midfield along the rail throughout. Raced tight when trying to move away from the inside near the 450m, got off the rail on straightening, pretty much held beaten margin all the way to the line to finish midfield.

9 8 KING OF THE COURT (E384) L Hewitson B1 Began awkwardly & lost ground at start before crossing down to rail & racing third last. Stayed along the rail in the straight, was finishing off only steadily, unable to be ridden out final 25m but was never a threat anyway.
10 12 YOUNG HORIZON (G272) M L Yeung H1/P1 Pushed forward after start, improved to take lead near the 1000m mark before crossing to the rail when leading near the 800m. Continued in front until being passed by the winner at 150m before weakening out in late stages.
11 6 ISLAND SURPRISE (E429) S De Sousa B/TT Ridden forward after start & raced a touch wide early before easing & racing third, one horse off the rail from 800m. Slid up to race second near 650m when a length from lead, was beaten at the 250m & weakened out thereafter.
