2 | 9 | BUDDIES (C019) | Z Purton | H/TT | Pressed forward from draw 14 to be sitting on leaders' heels, couldn't quicken as well as the winner passing 300M, kept on for clear 2nd. (Jockey : abnormal breathing noise.) |
3 | 11 | CLEAR CHOICE (A426) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Away well from draw 1, chased leaders along the fence, not pace to challenge the first 2 on straightening, fought neck to neck with rival for 3rd placing over final 200M, gained upper hand late. |

6 | 12 | LUCKY TIME (A045) | M F Poon | B | Eased back to the rear early stages, waited with until passing 600M, still last at 400M over 8Ls to make up, stayed on down outside passing beaten horses. |
