2 7 SEASONS WIT (H223) Z Purton B/TT Restrained to a rearward position after jumping from draw 10, 3-wide making the turn for home, closed off well down outside of straight, nearest finish.
3 5 LIGHTNING STORM (E454) L Hewitson TT Went forward for the lead, slowed things down 700M, kept on well turning in, headed by winner near 150M before losing 2nd close home.
4 1 CALIFORNIA DEEPLY (G451) M Chadwick TT Reserved in midfield 4Ls off the pace, ran on under top weight passing 300M, just missed 3rd.
5 2 SPECIAL M (E271) H Bowman PC/TT Settled in 4th, always in touch, put in a mild bid passing 400M, peaked on its run 100M from home.
6 9 HARMONY FIRE (E175) A Hamelin SR/TT From draw 1 moved up to track leaders, lacked a finishing kick passing 300M, always held by leaders in the run home.
7 8 FLYING DRAGON (E360) C Wong XB/V1 Dropped back towards the rear, raced keenly early and middle stages, ran on fairly over final 300M, not reach contention.
8 4 GORGEOUS VITALITY (G051) S De Sousa -- Unhurried after the start, unable to slot in from draw 11, raced 3-wide without cover in midfield, not quickened passing 350M, faded final 200M.
9 3 MARK THE MOMENT (H088) A Badel V/TT Crossed to race along the rail in mid-division, fought on one paced turning in, steadied 150M and quickly out of contention.
10 11 LUCKY FUN (E013) H W Lai V2 Settled towards the rear, 6Ls off the pace 400M, failed to make much progress on straightening. Never a factor.
11 10 THE RUNNER (D042) H T Mo V Failed to muster speed despite ridden along, fell back to last 600M, soon left behind top of straight. (Jockey : failed to stretch out and raced in a disappointing manner.)
