| 2 | 9 | SUNNY FAY (M119) | K C Leung | H/XB/TT | Placed in midfield along the 2-path, crept into contention passing 600M, accelerated to the lead 250M, was tackled by the winner and eventually outbattled over final 200M. |
| 3 | 13 | BUDDY BUDDIES (M021) | Y T Cheng | H | Settled near last, switched wide 450M, 6Ls to make up on leaders, finished fastest, nearest finish. |
| 4 | 11 | SUPREME WINNER (M014) | R Fourie | B/TT | Held up behind mid-division, ran on nicely final 300M, good effort having been off the track for 9 months. |
| 5 | 4 | HELENE FUN STAR (N105) | D Whyte | TT | Chased the pace in early stages, within 3Ls of leader making the turn, stayed on evenly final 300M and narrowly missed out on 3rd. |
| 6 | 12 | CALLING WITH LOVE (N288) | B Prebble | H | Restrained in midfield, caught 3-wide early but able to slot in before the turn, responded well to riding early straight but could not sustain the effort final 100M. |

| 10 | 8 | OTTIMO (CK238) | C W Wong | -- | Guided to a 2-wide position towards the rear in early stages, did not travel well and had to be niggled along 600M out, kept on same pace in straight. |
