1 | 6 | STRAWBERRY (CK182) | Y T Cheng | B | Started fairly but mustered fast, sat just behind the leader, travelled well throughout, niggled along rounding bend, responded well when asked for efforts final 300 M, kept on well, just did enough to hold off challengers. |
2 | 2 | YUE LU TREASURE (CJ184) | M L Yeung | B | Awkwardly start, rearward 7Ls off the pace on rails, urged along from 700 M, dashed well when clear final 300 M, briefly held up near 150 M, kept on very strongly, post came too soon. |
3 | 11 | NEW CHAPTER (CH314) | Z Purton | B/TT1 | Jumped well, worked hard to occupy a 2-wide position with cover, 4Ls behind the leader, urged along turning for home, bumped near 300 M, finished off strongly final 200 M, narrowly beaten by the top two. |
4 | 10 | VILASOL (CK303) | M Chadwick | CP | Out in line, settled 2-wide within a striking distance from the leader, swung wide for home, ran on down centre of home straight, looked at least a place at 200 M, one-paced passing 100 M, lost 3rd in last few strides. |
5 | 3 | MINGS' HERO (CJ011) | O Doleuze | SR | Broke well, sat 3Ls off the pace on rails, travelled strongly in early stages, checked 1000 M, took time to obtain clear run early in straight, finished off fairly well final 150 M but lacked a kick to challenge the principals. |
6 | 5 | HORACE'S LEGEND (CK181) | J Victoire | B1 | Taken rearward from the wide barrier, patiently ridden until the home turn, responded well when asked for efforts final 300 M, checked at 200 M, soon recovered and made some more ground final 100 M. |
7 | 1 | REAL SPECIAL (CH320) | D Whyte | B | Out in line, settled in fence position 5Ls behind the pace, travelled nicely throughout, shifted wider for home, ran on well when clear final 250 M, held up when crowded near 100 M, turned one-paced. |
8 | 8 | KENOBE (CH222) | J Lloyd | XB | Jumped well, restrained 6 to 7Ls behind the pace, 2-wide with cover, swung wide for home, had his chance but gave very limited when asked for efforts final 300 M. |
9 | 12 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | D Beadman | B | Given a waiting ride as usual and settled last 10Ls behind leader, was blocked at the top of home straight until final 200 M, failed to make any impression. |
10 | 7 | THE GOODIES (CH097) | G Cheyne | B/H | Out in line, sat three from the rear 7 to 8Ls off the speed, 2-wide with cover, swung widest for home, only passed the tired runners in the straight. |
