2 | 3 | LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) | Y T Cheng | -- | Raced in 2nd position, 1 off. Hit the front near the 400m, stayed on soundly. |

6 | 12 | LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) | J Victoire | B | Travelled slightly worse than midfield the fence. Railed up early in the final stretch and ranged up as a place threat before ending its run over the concluding stages. |

11 | 11 | CLASSIC KING (CD256) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Settled at the rear of the field 1 off with cover. Never a factor. Found to be lame in the left fore leg the following day. |
