1 | 13 | ALPHA GRAND (N127) | C W Wong | -- | Went forward to race outside leader, fair run with even sections, took over turning in and had them chasing at 300m, did enough to hold off fast finishing rival. |
2 | 10 | MR GNOCCHI (P080) | Z Purton | B/TT | Began well, took a trail 3ls back on rails, difficult to settle early, improved approaching turn, got clear final 300m and chased hard just unable to wear don margin late. |
3 | 3 | POLYMER WIN (M399) | B Prebble | -- | Slotted into ideal spot 1 out 1 back, all favours in mid-section, set out after eventual winner in straight and moved into 2nd briefly, no match for first two final 200m. |
4 | 2 | EXCITING DREAM (P191) | T Berry | -- | Landed a midfield spot 4ls back in 2 wide line, fair run in mid-section, improved rounding bend, looked to factor at 300m but couldn't lift final furlong, kept on but just missed place. |
5 | 14 | DRAGON GLORY (P130) | C K Tong | H-/B1 | Positioned behind midfield on rails, 6ls or so from top end, quiet trip and made some ground turning, closed best off rest to be nearest on line. |
6 | 9 | GREAT STORIES (N181) | A Suborics | H/SR | Average break, pressed forward and used a bit to cross to lead, set even sections thereafter, lost advantage at 300m but didn't weaken entirely and kept on for a better effort. |
7 | 5 | FIGHTER CLASS (P196) | T Angland | P1 | Drifted back to race behind midfield, 6ls back racing 2 wide, switched out turning, made some ground to 200m but peaked on run and had no extra thereafter. |
8 | 12 | TURIN PEARL (P267) | R Fourie | SR | Raced 3 wide behind midfield, 6ls or so back with cover, ok trip but lost position approaching bend, switched wider but only made minor progress without threatening. |
9 | 4 | BEAUTY JOURNEY (P386) | M Chadwick | TT1 | Showed speed, elected for a trail when pressured, reasonable run throughout on leaders back, right there turning but condition gave out and dropped away. |
9 | 7 | DUAL HAPPY (N427) | H W Lai | B1 | Shared rear 8ls back racing 2 wide, difficult to settle early, made ground between horses turning, passed a few to 200m when run ended. |
11 | 1 | MY NAME IS BOND (M287) | C Y Ho | H/P | Taken back from a wide alley, raced 3 wide at rear 7ls or so back, set a task when forced wider turning, made progress to 200m but no extra thereafter. |
12 | 11 | MR GOURMET (P261) | D Whyte | -- | Unable to slot in and forced to race 3 wide behind midfield, 5ls back, checked in middle stages and lost ground, shuffled right back turning, unable to get into it from that point and just battled in straight. |
13 | 8 | FIGHTING BOY (P376) | K C Ng | -- | Lost ground at start, settled at rear 8ls back on rails, saved ground on fence turning but produced little and gradually lost touch in straight. |
