1 8 KINGSGATE GLORY (CH020) A Delpech B/TT Led by 1L easily along the rails and clocked very slow early sectionals, received some pressure 800 M, hung out abruptly 200 M, made all to score well.
2 2 EYE WITNESS (CG027) G Mosse XB/TT Midfield, 4Ls off the leader 2-wide, not suited by the slow pace, dashed strongly 300 M to finish a remarkable 2nd.
3 7 MAVERICK (CE199) W M Lai TT Settled in a prominent spot 2-1/2Ls behind the slow tempo 2-wide, travelled nicely, lacked turn of foot in straight but still managed to run on well to the line for 3rd.

5 4 SEASONS KNACK (CC242) H W Lai -- Very slowly away, hard ridden to keep up about midfield, 5-1/2Ls off the leader along the fence, progressed forward 3-wide steadily and made ground at Home Bend, little dash 300 M whilst hanging in, run ended 100 M.
6 3 FANTUZZI (CG187) E Saint-Martin XB Pushed to occupy the box seat, raced closer than usual but raced keenly, favoured by the slow tempo, ran on until 250 M flattened.
7 5 MATIRI KING (CE266) Y T Cheng -- Hard ridden to get across and sat outside the leader, helped by the slow pace, hard ridden again 800 M to increase the pressure in front, however soon weakened 500 M. (Lame.)
