2 | 6 | HOWDEEPISYOURLOVE (H093) | K Teetan | -- | Settled ahead of midfield, responded well turning for home, came close to score his 5th win was just denied at the line. |
3 | 12 | HARMONY AND RICH (D110) | L Hewitson | B | From draw 1 moved forward to be vying for lead along the inside, drifted out on straightening, kept on well to line but couldn't hold off first 2 late. |
4 | 8 | ADIOS (G338) | K C Leung | TT | Moved up to chase leaders, responded well from top of straight to be challenging for the lead, couldn't hold off first 2 late and just missed out on 3rd. |
5 | 2 | MAJESTIC STAR (E203) | Z Purton | TT1 | From wide draw shifted across behind runners, 10Ls off the pace on settling, came wide home turn, made some progress in the straight, went 5th near line. |
6 | 3 | WHIZZ KID (E392) | B Avdulla | B/TT | Pressed the lead on outside, batted on one paced in the straight, out of contention final 100M. |

10 | 7 | PACKING TREADMILL (G161) | H Bowman | SR | Dropped back to race at the rear, failed to quicken in straight, never a factor. (Jockey : did not travel well at any stage with the genuine pace, raced in a disappointing manner.) |
