1 4 BAJAN BELL (CG142) D Whyte B Slowest away, 2-wide and 5Ls back in midfield at halfway and edged a little closer in 4th turning for home, led 200 M out and only just repelled MOONGLOW in tight finish.
2 9 MOONGLOW (CG008) Y T Cheng B/XB/TT Trapped 3-wide without cover down backstretch, 3Ls back in 4th and 2-wide at 700 M, 2Ls down in 3rd off home turn, headed by winner at 200 M but rallied strongly and only just failed.
3 10 WAIT FOR ME (CE332) C W Wong -- 8Ls last at the 1000 M, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home when 6Ls last, made some good late ground for a place but failed to reach to quinella pair.
4 1 I'M NO SQUARE (CG078) C K Tong TT Towards rear on fence about 6Ls adrift of the lead at 1000 M, 5Ls down on straightening, ran on fairly but not quickly enough to place.
5 7 LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) G Mosse B/TT Raced too freely in 2nd place about 1L off the speed early on, pressed on to lead briefly about 300 M out but headed at the 200 M, one-paced closing stages.
6 2 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) O Doleuze B Never any better than midfield, one from rear and 7Ls down at 1000 M, short-lived effort when 3Ls off speed at the 300 M but the run faded in concluding stages. (Bit pulled through.)
7 6 STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) K Shea -- Slowly away, 3-wide without cover when 6Ls back in 9th at halfway, 5Ls down in 6th or so swinging for home, faded final 200 M.
8 3 SOLAR EMPIRE (CB299) P H Lo -- Led by 1L on fence at 1200 M, held similar margin until home turn and headed at the 300 M, faded.
9 8 HAPPY GO LAGO (CE310) K L Chui B/TT Keen at 1000 M when 4Ls off speed in 5th, hard pressed to maintain this proximity at home turn, very weak final 200 M.
10 11 STARFINDER (CH074) S K Sit TT- Broke well but steadily lost position and 5Ls down in midfield inside the winner at halfway, continued to lose his place, poor effort.
11 5 FULL BLESSINGS (CH238) E Saint-Martin -- 1L off pace in 3rd when 3-wide without cover at 1200 M, soon gained cover and 3Ls back in 3rd at 800 M, under pressure to lie up off home bend, very tame finish.
