| 2 | 2 | SPEARHEAD (M083) | D Beadman | SR/TT | Away in line and was gradually taken to behind midfield. Improved outside and reached leading section home turn. Kept giving home straight but was fended off by the winner. |
| 3 | 7 | ABLE MAGIC (CL290) | M Du Plessis | XB | Checked at start and resumed to race behind midfield on fence from 1000M. Checked again at 350M. Closed off strongly when clear and was nearest at finish. |
| 4 | 12 | EKRAAR EMPEROR (M081) | H W Lai | SR1/TT | Out nicely, elected to sit 2-wide at midfield approaching home turn. Shifted 3-wide 700M. Kept on satisfactorily down the centre of home straight without seriously threatened the front trio. |
| 5 | 11 | NICHOLSON (M173) | K C Leung | -- | Switched to rear from highest draw. Swung wide into final stretch. Covered good ground thereafter and nearly made frame. |
