2 4 GOLDEN SAMURAI (H024) C Y Ho B/TT Raced worse than midfield away from the rail. Had clear running on straightening when 3.5L from the lead before making strong late ground to close to second passing the 75m mark before reducing margin to under 1L late.
3 3 CALIFORNIA VANES (G160) B Avdulla B/TT Had a soft run in midfield along the rail. Stayed along the rail on straightening, entered last section 3L from the lead before closing well to move to second at 200m before holding third on line.

5 12 NOBLE BOYZ (E156) M Dee B/TT Raced in midfield between runners. Raced a touch keenly passing the 850m, was afforded clear running on straightening when just over 2L from the lead before battling away fairly to be beaten just over 3L in midfield.
