| 2 | 9 | TURF EXPRESS (CL399) | C Y Ho | TT | Unable to slot in from a wide alley, posted 3 wide with out cover 4Ls back in midfield, worked and carried wider to 400m, kept fighting gamely and did well to snare a place. |
| 3 | 7 | HELENE SPIRIT (M310) | Z Purton | TT | Began well, assumed spot on leaders back, enjoyed a fair trip 2Ls back to bend, kept chasing leader and stuck to task well for a place. |
| 4 | 12 | FLYING SUPREME (CK226) | C K Tong | -- | Faded back to race behind midfield, 7-8Ls back 3 wide with cover, plenty to do when still last turning, motored down middle final 400m to make frame. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 5 | 8 | SEMOS (M125) | T Angland | B/TT | Taken back to rear, ended up 9Ls away racing two wide, swept wider approaching home bend, looked a big chance at 200m but peaked on run final 100m. |

| 8 | 1 | VOILE ROUGE (M343) | K C Ng | B/TT | Pressed on and took up running, set a decent gallop in front, kicked clear at 400m, defied them to 200m but overhauled and passed final furlong. |
| 9 | 13 | HELENE WITTY (CL228) | O Doleuze | TT | Slow into stride, took a midfield spot, 4Ls or so off front, no excuses in run, niggled turn and didn't find much just battling at same speed in straight. |
| 10 | 4 | DRAGON FIGHTER (CL260) | D Whyte | -- | Showed usual speed, ended up just off pace 3-4Ls back in running line, improved 3 wide rounding bend, looked a place chance at 300m but run tapered final furlong. |
