5 5 HAPPY HORSE (H061) M F Poon H/TT Was trapped racing three wide without cover outside the leaders throughout. Continued close to the lead at the 200m mark and battled away ok in final stages considering wide run.
6 1 CHARMING STEED (E494) K H Chan H1/B2/TT Ridden along in early stages to maintain position before drifting slightly further back after the 800m. Was second last of the main bunch from 600m, was 6L behind at the 400m before making some late ground to halve deficit late.
7 11 VIVA A LA (G282) A Badel P/TT Raced in midfield along the rail throughout early & middle stages. Moved away from the rail on straightening when around 3.5L from the lead before only maintaining margin to the line despite having limited room in final few strides.

9 6 DASHING TRIUMPH (G341) A Atzeni TT Drifted back from the widest gate & was soon last of the main field. Was just under 8L from the lead entering final section, moved wider in the straight before passing only one or two tiring rivals but never getting involved.
10 7 HAR HAR AT HEART (H035) B Avdulla E Drifted back after the start & raced worse than midfield along the rail. Was 4.5L from the lead entering final section & could only maintain that deficit to the finish when beating only two rivals home.
