4 4 SECRET WEAPON (S217) D Whyte B-/TT Towards the rear 7Ls behind leader in a slowly run race, inclined to lay in early straight, had no clear run until 150M then finished well to go 4th near line. Would be closer.
5 12 ANTICIPATION (T198) C Williams B/TT In rear group early, left with no cover 1100M when pace slackened, strolled forward to reach leaders 600M, continued with the chase final 400M but was always held.

9 11 BASIC TRILOGY (V133) K K Chiong B Crossed to the lead 1200M and slowed things down, joined by rivals 600M, lost lead early straight, fought on to 150M, no extra towards finish.

12 13 RENAISSANCE ART (T197) H W Lai H/P Behind mid-division in a slowly run race, saved ground on the inside, gave limited response to urging passing 400M, never threatened.
