| 2 | 5 | ROMA PEGASUS (CK115) | B Prebble | -- | Out in line, ended up 5Ls away in midfield on rails, settled better than previous runs, used little in middle stages, clear soon a few turning and kept to task well chasing gamely for 2nd. |
| 3 | 3 | FEARLESS (CH301) | W C Marwing | B | No early speed and allowed to fade back, shared rear 8Ls or so from top end, helped by reasonable tempo, 3 wide with cover on circle, made nice ground from well back to take place. |
| 4 | 4 | MR MEDICI (CK218) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Reasonable break, had an easy time 4Ls away on rails, consevered energy to bend, held up behind horses from 400 M to 200 M, made nice ground when clear and unlucky not to place. |

| 6 | 9 | REAL SPECIAL (CH320) | M Du Plessis | XB | Awkwardly away, ended up best part of 8Ls away sharing rear, aided by speed but still well back to bend, shifted widest turning and closed soundly down middle making many lengths to be nearest on line. |
| 7 | 11 | GALLANT CHAMPION (CJ002) | K C Leung | V/TT | Reasonable break, pushed forward to take spot 1 out 1 back, used a bit on speed, there to 200 M but didn't find extra turn of foot, just plugged away late. |
| 8 | 14 | PRINCE KALAMOUN (CK178) | W M Lai | CP | Slow into stride, ended up behind midfield 6Ls away in running line, back in pack in middle stages, just kept on between horses in straight lacking the extra gear to factor. |
| 9 | 10 | LU YUE (CH278) | C W Wong | B/H | Showed usual pace to work forward in search of front, eventually took over at top bend, did plenty of early work, kept on to 200 M before tiring when workload took toll. |
