2 12 GOLDEN HARVEST (N236) U Rispoli TT Began well, stayed with leading pack to back stretch before easing 2-back, one-off. Held in pocket entering final turn, switched out 250m, hit front 150m, run down near line.
3 6 STRAIGHT GOLD (N089) N Callan H/XB Jumped with field, cut to rail entering back stretch, settling midfield. No clear run early in straight, hampered 200m, finished off nicely when clear.

5 11 FIONN'S TREASURE (M386) M L Yeung B Began well, lost place first turn, mustered to grab box seat. Unbalanced, bumped 200m when shifting ground, rolled forward, looked chance before swamped 50m.
6 8 BULLISH FRIEND (N333) M Chadwick TT Ridden forward but held wide and unable to cross runners. Left without cover from 800m when leading pair crossed to rail. Kept on steadily early in straight before tiring.

8 7 IMPERIAL ROME (N012) K Teetan TT Slow into stride, taken across behind runners but held 3-wide back stretch. Swung very wide into straight but only one-paced.
9 9 LONDON CHINA TOWN (CL236) C Y Lui -- Pressed to go forward, taking lead on settling but very wide. Crossed to rail 900m, led field to 200m before tiring.
