1 4 BIG RED (H299) E C W Wong -- Tracked leaders along the 2-path, worked nicely into the race passing 400M, stuck to task well hitting the front 150M out, was strongly challenged late but managed to hold on.
2 1 I CAN (H381) A Atzeni H/TT Jumped only fairly, settled behind midfield slightly further back than anticipated, swung wide for home, did best work late under big weight, just missed out.
3 6 SUPER BABY (G364) L Ferraris B/TT Went forward to be sharing lead on the inside passing 1400M, kept fighting hard on straightening, couldn't hold off first two over final 150M.
4 9 RUNNING BOY (J041) C Y Ho XB From draw 1 moved up to chase leaders on inside, close up 3rd turning for home, ran to the line one paced.
5 5 STRONGEST BOY (H027) Z Purton B/TT Jumped on terms, settled down midfield on the inside, briefly held up on the home turn before finishing off the race fairly.
6 2 SNOWALOT (E397) K Teetan B Maintained a midfield position along the 2-path, couldn't muster in the straight and was never a threat. (Jockey : may appreciate a surface with more give.)
7 3 TRADITION (J111) M F Poon -- Reserved in a rearward position, little change to the turn, briefly held up 350M but worked home only fairly afterwards, always held by leaders.
8 10 FRUITY WARRIOR (J035) L Hewitson TT Taken across on jumping from wide draw, settled at the rear 8Ls off leader, wide into straight and couldn't go on. Never involved. (Blood in trachea.)
9 7 FORTUNE COOKIES (J032) B Thompson B/TT Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, ended up racing at the rear 8Ls away, under serious pressure home turn, soon left behind by rivals.
10 8 FOREMOST TEDDY (J058) K De Melo B/TT Moved forward to race outside the lead, came under pressure from 600M, soon gave ground and was eased down in the home straight. (Irregular Heart Rhythm.)
