1 10 LUCKY SELECTION (CK228) B Prebble B2/TT Raced within 2Ls of the pace early. Commenced his run from 500M and reached the leading section at 300M. Had a duel with the runner-up final 100M and prevailed closing stages. (Distressed.)
2 7 BET ON ME (CK376) O Doleuze XB1 Sat behind the speed near the stands' rail. Hard ridden from 400M and responded well. Fought determinedly with the winner final 100M. Beaten narrowly at the line and left the rest of the field far.
3 4 SHY BALDY (CH168) C K Tong TT Quickly into stride. Shared lead on stands' rail until headed 300M. Barely hung on for a non-threatening 3rd.
4 3 WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) C Y Ho -- Closed to the pace near the far side early. Lacked the turn of foot to sprint with the front pair passing 300M. One-paced to conclude.
