| 2 | 4 | SOLEIL FIGHTER (J127) | K C Leung | XB | Close up early, raced keenly mid stages and drifted back to midfield entering home turn, headway from 450M on outer, gained narrow lead near 200M but winner fought back to win in a close finish. |
| 3 | 9 | BEATO (H090) | Y L Chung | V/TT | Drifted back to race in second half of the field 7-8Ls away, checked 700M lost ground, had some work to do top of straight, closed off best down the outside to go 3rd near line. |
