1 9 NORDIC STAR (CH302) D Whyte TT Patiently ridden in the early stages to settle in 2nd last position. Came to the outside in the straight and closed off strongly to gain an advantage in the shadows of the post.
2 10 DIVINE TOUCH (CG291) G Mosse P/TT From a wide gate was taken back to settle in last position, commenced to improve after the 500 M. Shifted to the outside in the run home and looked the winner before being caught close to the finish.
3 6 MAGIC TURBO (CJ098) O Doleuze SR Eased at the start and was taken back behind runners landing midfield the fence. Didn't obtain the clearest of passages early in the straight, but after switching out near the 100 M, went to the line only fairly.
4 7 WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) F Coetzee TT Settled midfield then near the 800 M was left racing wide and without cover, battled away in the straight.
5 4 SOU MA TAM (CH253) B Prebble B Bumped at the start, then recovered to race 1 out 1 back. Had every chance.
6 2 CASH MONEY (CH030) C W Wong H1 Enjoyed a nice run in the race behind the leader along the fence. Found little when asked for an effort in the run home.
7 5 CLASSA FOR EVER (CD085) H W Lai TT Worked forward to race as joint leader, 1 off. Was challenged near the furlong and gave in quickly soon after.
8 8 GOLDEN WIN (CE062) Y T Cheng B Checked soon after the start then raced 3 back, midfield, 2 deep with cover. Weakened over the final stages. Returned after the race with blood in the trachea.
9 3 BE MY SONG (CH272) M W Leung V/H Wasn't suited by being taken on in the lead along the fence. Was a beaten horse after the 500 M. Pulled up with blood in trachea. To trial. (See Racing Incident.)
