2 3 SHARP HUNTER (P097) H W Lai -- Began awkwardly, then settled 2.5Ls behind the leader on the fence, benefited by the fast pace, dashed well to get 2nd.
3 10 LOVELY BOY (N322) C Y Ho B Sent forward to share the lead without cover, despite harmed by the fast pace, hung on well for 3rd but without any threats to the first two.
