2 14 CHARMING SPEEDY (CE186) Y T Cheng B/TT1 Slowly away, pressed on out 3-wide no cover to lead at 900 M, 1L clear turning for home and at 200 M, grabbed by winner a few strides from post.
3 12 RED WINE HONEY (CE287) S Dye B 3-back on fence about 3Ls or 4Ls off speed in midfield through to home turn when driven along, stayed on fairly well for a place.
4 9 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) A Delpech -- Stumbled at start, recovered to take box run on fence about 2Ls off speed through to home turn in 4th or 5th, plugged on at same pace.
5 6 SILVER MARK (CE226) B Prebble B-/V1/TT1 Didn't break fluently, keen at 1000 M when 3-wide with cover in midfield about 4Ls off speed, no closer turning for home, always held by principals.
6 1 QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) K L Chui -- Soon switched from wide gate to take 4-back on fence position worse than midfield about 5Ls off speed until home turn, stayed on only evenly.
6 13 FORTUNE GOLD (CD343) G Schofield -- 2-wide and no better than midfield about 5Ls from the lead from 1200 M to home turn, made some minor late ground without really threatening.
