1 1 WONDER KIT (G455) L Hewitson V Fast away from draw 1, led early stages until 900M, travelled smoothly behind leader 400M, quickened to lead inside 200M and continued on well under hands and heels riding late.
2 8 SUPER JOY N FUN (J164) C L Chau XB/TT Jumped on terms, never far off from the pace, 3rd turning for home, battled well to the line but always held by winner.
3 11 GOLDEN RISE (H242) A Atzeni B Settled down midfield, held up 300M-200M before closing off nicely to claim 3rd.
4 2 SUGAR SUGAR (G016) E C W Wong B/TT From wide draw pushed early to find the lead under 7lb claimer, led to inside 200M, couldn't hold off 2nd and 3rd late.
5 7 STORM RIDER (J027) B Thompson CP2 Jumped awkwardly, dropped back and given a waiting ride 6Ls back at the rear, made some progress final 300M to take 5th although never looked a winning chance.
6 5 NORDIC DRAGON (G467) A Hamelin TT Not hurried after the start, settled towards the rear 5Ls back, switched out to challenge passing 400M, disappointed for clear running 250M before finishing off reasonably well final stages.
7 6 REGAL GEM (K258) K C Leung -- Unable to slot in from draw 7, caught racing wide without cover in a position ahead of midfield, ran on one paced over final 300M.
8 12 HAYDAY (H321) M F Poon -- Driven forward, raced keenly behind leaders, battled hard to stay in contention passing 300M, always held by leaders and no extra closing stages.
9 3 HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203) H Bowman B/TT Dropped back and soon taken across to the fence, improved to a position behind midfield on settling, in touch behind leaders top of straight but run ended 200M and weakened.
10 4 GALLANT VALOUR (H323) B Avdulla B/TT Jumped on terms, settled down in second half of the field, swung wide into straight but only gave limited response when asked. (Jockey : no explanation for the disappointing performance.)
11 9 PRAWNS ELEVEN (J140) H Bentley XB/TT Unable to cross runners to its inside early stages, settled towards the rear further back than anticipated, had some work to do 400M, failed to close off the race. (Bled.)
12 10 CALIFORNIA DEEPLY (G451) M Chadwick B/TT Crowded at the start, restrained to race at the rear, 7Ls to make up 400M but failed to close off the race.
