2 | 11 | JOHNSON (CJ305) | D Beadman | B | Displayed usual speed, took a sit before moving forward to race outside leader, levelled up turning and shaded inside horse, drew clear and held narrow advantage before winner fought back late. |
3 | 12 | THE ONLY KID (CH173) | M Du Plessis | H | Standard jump, took a close spot than usual 4Ls back on fence, improved position on rails turning, kept closing to take place but well behind first two. |
4 | 9 | APPRECIATION (CK161) | J Winks | V/TT1 | Drifted back from an awkward draw ended up 3 wide 5 to 6Ls away with cover in midfield, bumped on bend, kept coming down middle to make frame. |
5 | 4 | SUNRISE (CK026) | K C Leung | H | Even jump, slotted into a midfield role 4Ls or so away, had a good run in middle stages, improved 3 wide from bend, didn't let down as usual and just held ground final 200 M. |

7 | 7 | STOLEN THUNDER (CJ003) | B Doyle | -- | OK getaway, pushed up to race 3Ls away on fence, used nothing in run, took inside run turning, lacked pull up in straight and just faded. |
8 | 5 | BAAZIGAR (CG171) | W C Marwing | -- | Reasonable break, posted 3 wide without cover 2Ls away, had a tough run to bend, same margin down and kept fighting to 200 M before run ended. (Bled.) |
9 | 13 | RED RULER (CH198) | C W Wong | TT | Lacked early speed, ended up 6Ls or so away on rails, saved ground on turning, made steady progress between horses to 100 M before run closed. Not fully tested thereafter. (See Racing Incidents.) |
10 | 2 | STRAWBERRY (CK182) | P H Lo | CP | Amongst first to jump, led before taking trail on leaders back, had every chance thereafter, struggling on turning, found little and dropped off final 300 M. |
11 | 8 | BEST POWER (CG006) | C K Tong | TT | No early pace as usual, ended up 7 to 8Ls away sharing rear, left with plenty to do and track pattern against, still well back at 300 M and lacked usual finish. |
