1 8 MARKWIN (J420) H Bentley TT Settled just behind midfield, quickened up well when driven out 400M, got past leaders nearing 50M, kept on final stages.
2 7 CHIU CHOW SPIRIT (H175) A Badel B/TT Jumped only fairly, dropped back to race at the rear, 8Ls off the pace middle stages, had difficulty obtaining clear running 250M before closing off well to take 2nd close home.
3 2 PRAY FOR MIR (J245) M Chadwick CP Always in touch chasing leaders, fought well on straightening to be challenging for the lead, raced in restricted room 100M and outpaced by first two close home.
4 1 FAST NETWORK (J358) Z Purton B-/TT Jumped nicely to be holding a position outside the lead, travelled well under top weight and took over 300M, got tired late and couldn't hold off first few near the finish.
5 9 MICKLEY (K082) A Atzeni TT Bumped at the start, settled near the rear 6Ls off the pace, stayed on well enough over final 300M to take 5th.
6 3 TAJ DRAGON (H164) E C W Wong -- From wide draw shifted across behind runners, near last turning for home, ran on moderately final 400M but never likely.
7 4 YOUNG CHAMPION (J195) B Avdulla B Chased leaders on the inside, close enough 400M but failed to pick up pace under pressure. (Jockey : would derive benefit from the performance.)
8 5 HEALTHY HAPPY (D435) K Teetan B/TT Bumped at the start, went for the lead and soon joined by rival on outside, driven out 350M then headed by rivals and faded towards the finish. (Jockey : disadvantaged by being taken on in the lead.)
9 6 WONDER KIT (G455) L Hewitson V Settled down midfield 2-wide, kept on well enough early straight to stay in contention, no extra closing stages.
10 10 MUST GO (J133) M L Yeung E/PC/TT Held up in midfield, gave ground rapidly inside 350M and finished last.
