2 5 JIMSON THE BEST (L016) T Angland -- Settled in midfield 5Ls or so away in midfield, strong tempo helped, made a 2 wide run before 400m, kept closing to take lead only to be outdone final 50m.

4 9 BEAUTY SUCCESS (L422) M Chadwick CP/TT Taken back from a wide gate, 10Ls or so away in run, aided by strong tempo, took inside runs approaching turn and made good ground late to share 4th.
4 10 BUCCANEER (CH214) M L Yeung B Took an ideal spot following pace trio 3-4Ls back, strong pace on to bend, kept on steadily without threatening and did enough to share frame.
6 13 QUANTUM EXPRESS (CK166) H W Lai H/TT Began well, used a bit early, took a nice spot on leaders back, on decent pace throughout, in mix for most of straight but just tired final 100m.
7 6 EASTERN EMPIRE (L172) G Cheyne TT Even break, taken back from an awkward draw, ended up sharing rear on rails more than 10Ls back, took inside runs and closed creditably from an impossible spot.
8 2 JOLLY GOOD (L134) C Y Ho SR/TT Ended up in midfield on rails 6ls or so back, speed suited and saved plenty of ground on bend, closed gradually before peaking at 100m.
9 7 ANCIENT KINGDOM (M210) Z Purton -- Drifted back from an awkward draw, nearly 10Ls away racing 2-3 wide in mid section, strong speed on helped, made some progress but unable to quicken, ground away.

12 12 HEALTHY BLUEBERRY (CK222) T H So V/TT Didn’t muster and was further back than usual, raced 3 wide with cover 7Ls or so back, still just off midfield turning, made no real impact in straight.
13 8 KICK SERVE (L385) J Lloyd H Positioned 3 and 4 wide without cover, best part of 11-12Ls back near rear in run, hard run took toll in straight and folded tamely.
