1 11 JOLLY COMPANION (H454) P N Wong CP/TT Disputed lead until taking clear advantage 200m out. Ran on well for pressure to record first win.
2 1 BOWSER (H460) B Avdulla H-/PC1/TT Raced wide in rear of mid-field from outside stall. Stayed on strongly for pressure in home straight but unable to reel in winner.
3 10 COSMO NAVIGATOR (H156) Y L Chung B Tracked pacesetters but caught wide. Stuck to task in straight but lacked speed to challenge winner.

8 5 DAY DAY VICTORY (J423) L Hewitson XB A bit keen in early stages as he raced in mid-division. Failed to respond to pressure from final bend and no impression.

10 12 SONIC BOOM (H144) M Chadwick TT Wide early and dropped back into mid-field after soon pushed along. Never a factor.
