2 | 6 | SMOKEY BEAR (E126) | K De Melo | B/XB/TT | Settled in midfield on rails, saved ground turning for home, did not find much room over 200 metres out, improved well between runners to reach 2nd late but never able to threaten the winner. |
3 | 2 | CAPITAL DELIGHT (H262) | C Y Ho | TT | Niggled along after moderate start before settling in 9th behind midfield, made further headway rounding home bend reaching joint 7th 4-wide into straight, sustained progress under pressure but never threatening. |
4 | 11 | SPORTS LEGEND (H456) | M L Yeung | CP-/TT | Amongst leaders, taken back to 3rd coming onto home bend, remained 2-wide sharing lead into straight, unable to sustain effort inside final 150 metres. |
5 | 7 | TORONADO PHANTOM (E300) | A Atzeni | P/TT | Taken back to last few from a wide draw, switched out off heels for a run over 300 metres out, ran on steadily under pressure to be nearest at finish. |
