2 | 8 | SUPER FAMILY (CJ153) | D Whyte | B | Raced 2-wide in 2nd at 1000m; pace moderate; assumed the lead before the home turn but headed by winner about 150 M out; comfortably held 2nd. |
3 | 6 | MONTY (CH164) | K C Leung | -- | Caught 3-wide no cover for the duration; 3Ls back in 6th at and similar off last turn; did fairly well to take 3rd under circumstances. |
4 | 14 | KING OF TURF (CJ102) | W M Lai | -- | Taken back from widest gate; 10Ls last at halfway; still 7Ls adrift off last turn and widest; recovered good amount of late ground; never nearer. |

10 | 3 | WINNING STRATEGY (CJ353) | D Beadman | B-/V1 | Went back from wide gate to 12th or so; wide and 6Ls off leaders taking final turn; briefly loomed a place chance; run peaked final 200m. |

12 | 12 | MAGIC PRACTITIONER (CK125) | C K Tong | B/TT | A bit keen when 2Ls back in 3rd at the 1000m; checked soon after; still in front rank off last curve; surrendered; another poor run. |
