2 6 CHEER (CL277) D Whyte TT Slow to begin but not hurried, raced at the back 6Ls off leaders, no clear path in straight and had to weave his way through, ran on strongly final 100 M, just failed.
3 12 MOON CHASER (CK013) K C Leung -- Well covered in midfield and was never far off the pace, responded well inside 300 M, dueled with the eventual winner to 50 M and only lost 2nd place close home.
4 3 HOLD HANDS (CH116) C Y Ho B Niggled along in early stages to maintain his position behind midfield, turned 3-wide passing 1100 M, swung widest to straight and stayed on well final 300 M.

7 10 BUCCANEER (CH214) C K Tong -- Slow to begin, taken across behind runners and remained at the back to home straight, held up to 300 M but could only make limited progress when clear, no impression.
8 5 CARS KING PRAWN (CK348) F Coetzee V Unable to slot in from draw 12 and travelled 4-wide without cover in the first half, driven nearing home straight but didn't pick up, ran home one paced.
9 2 VIVA FIGHTER (CG307) Z Purton B2/TT Raced in mid-pack along the fence, switched out inside 350 M to find clear passage but not quickened under pressure, eased when no chance over closing stages.
10 1 HAPPY SEVEN (CK155) O Doleuze B Away in good order, bagged the rail and moved to a forward position just behind leaders, shuffled back to midfield entering the home turn, driven out 350 M but didn't respond, eased 100 M.
