1 1 NICE MEMORIES (BV152) K H Ting -- Ridden forward. Well there. Dropped back steadily from 900 M to midfield or better rounding home bend. Quickened well final 200 M to snatch win just before the post and held off challenge from 2nd horse.
2 3 WINNING YEARS (BP249) W S Yu B Broke well from wide draw but soon settled behind midfield. Went widest turning in. Responded well final 200 M and grabbed 2nd place final strides while being just held off by the winner.
3 2 ELECTRONIC DRAGON (BP019) S King B Mainly in touch. Ran on well and took lead 100 M out. Kept on but was outsprinted by the first pair close home.
4 10 DR WIN (BT203) R Fradd B Soon outpaced to the rear. Steady progress rounding home bend to be behind midfield turning in. Ran on steadily to be nearest at finish without threatening placed horses.
4 14 SIMON'S DECISION (BS071) D Whyte B/TT Bumped at start and remained at rear. Awkwardly placed for some distance after 600 M. Made up good ground from 300 M despite being steadied and shifted out at 100 M.
6 12 INTRIGUE (BV018) J Quinn -- Jumped well from widest draw and moved across gradually to be just off the pace. Improved to 2nd from 850 M. Ran on well upon straightening and led 300 M out. Kept on until no extra final 100 M.
7 5 STAR DRAGON (BV078) W Woods -- Soon moved up and led briefly at 1200 M before settling behind the leaders. Kept on well in straight until effort not sustained in the closing stages.

9 7 CHAMPION BOMB (BV128) B Marcus B1 At back. Made up some ground final 200 M.
10 4 HARVARD (BP081) D Harrison B Broke best. Led or disputed lead to home straight. Headed 300 M and then got crowded. Not a factor afterwards.
