1 10 SPEEDY DRAGON (B185) M F Poon -- Began well and settled in midfield on rail. Was 3.5L from lead and staying close to fence on cornering. Raced tight when improving along rail at 200m, before snatching lead in final 25m to score.
2 7 SOLAR WAI WAI (C111) Z Purton -- Was hard ridden for first 200m before eventually getting across to the fence & the lead at the 900m. Was challenged for lead from 800m. Kicked strongly & shook off challengers at 300m before being caught late on the line.
3 1 SUPER STAR (B380) K Teetan -- Was the last horse into stride before making ground quickly to settle worse than midfield one horse away from rail. 5 lengths from the lead & made the turn the widest runner before getting home strongly from rearward position.
4 2 LUCKY GUY (T349) U Rispoli B2/TT Began fairly and ridden up for 150m before settling in midfield on the outside. Moved three wide at the 600m. Was 4L from lead on cornering before battling on well in the final section.
5 8 VOYAGE STAR (C098) K C Leung CP Began well and showed good speed to come across from wide barrier before racing three horses wide without cover 1L from lead. Was still prominent until the 200m before getting tired late after covering ground on good speed.
6 11 BINGO (A301) S De Sousa B/TT Hard ridden early before coming across to position outside the leader after 250m. Challenged for lead approaching the 800m. Continued to challenge for lead until tiring out over the final 250m.
7 5 JUNZI (V274) A Sanna -- Wasn't fast to begin and settled around midfield on the rail. Was around 5L from lead on cornering before coming around heels at the 150m but only slightly reducing that margin in final section.
8 9 FLYING LOVER (B058) N Callan B Jumped fairly but gathered speed to go forward before settling in good position behind leaders. Moved three wide at the 500m when only 2.5L from lead but never threatened to join lead in final section and got tired last 150m.
9 12 BULLISH BROTHER (C034) C Y Ho B/TT Showed good natural speed before being crossed after 300m and travelling on leaders back from that point. Moved away from fence on cornering and had clear running but was under pressure before weakening out in final section.
10 4 GOLDEN MISSION (C106) C Murray -- Bumped at the start before being eased back behind runners settling at the tail. Was around 9 lengths from the lead on cornering and passed a few in the straight but was never likely.
11 6 LET'S COME BACK (B367) C Schofield TT Was eased across after the start before settling with only one pair behind after 300m. Was around 7 lengths from lead approaching the corner and never threatened in the straight.
12 3 BREAK RECORD (C168) M Chadwick -- Had no early speed and settled in second last pair on the rail. Was always well back in middle sections and was under pressure a fair way.
13 13 TOUCHDOWN STRIKER (B346) D Whyte CP Shifted in and became unbalanced at the start before easing back behind runners to settle at the tail on the fence. Conceded a huge margin approaching the corner and never made any ground in final section.
