1 2 LUNAR REFLECTIONS (CL009) M L Yeung B Settled well in mid-division, switched to 3-wide 500M out, moved into top gear inside 200M and stayed on strongest to hit lead 50M.
2 5 OTTIMO (CK238) K C Ng -- Always prominent, moved up to one out one back from 1200M, kept grinding away under pressure in straight, hit lead briefly near 100M, not pace of winner final 50M.
3 1 MR BOND (M098) G Mosse -- Held up in mid-division, not suited by the lack of pace and overraced from 900M, travelled wide from midway, chased winner from 300M but was always held.
4 4 MY MATE ADRIC (CL004) Z Purton CO Held up in 5th, raced a shade keen in middle stages and seemingly unsuited by the slow pace, kept on steadily final 300M.
5 10 NORDIC STAR (CH302) D Whyte TT Patiently held up, raced near the rear in the first half, moved closer making the home turn, steadied early straight, ran on final 250M.
6 8 LUCKY WARRIOR (M292) Y T Cheng TT Used a bit to find the lead then slowed things down, led unchallenged, headed inside 100M, weakened and was swallowed up late.

8 7 AMBITIOUS TREASURE (CJ173) O Doleuze B/XB/TT Soon taken across behind runners, settled near the rear about 6-7Ls back in a slowly run race, ,held up from 300M-200M but had little to offer once getting a clear run.

10 6 PERFECT SPRINT (CL107) T Clark TT Restrained after the start, settled behind midfield along the inside, plodded on one-paced final 300M, never likely.
11 3 ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) M Chadwick -- Dropped in behind midfield, travelled 3-wide without cover from 1300M, shuffled to near last turning for home, made limited progress final 300M, never threatened.
