2 | 1 | BEAUTY CRESCENT (H334) | H Bowman | B/TT | Restrained to race near the rear early stages, switched wide home turn, finished willingly to claim 2nd late. |
3 | 14 | GREENWICH (H328) | A Badel | TT | From wide draw driven to the lead, couldn't hold off winner 200M, kept on well late stages only to lose 2nd near line. |

5 | 10 | CALIFORNIA VANES (G160) | Y L Chung | B/TT | Chased leader, had every chance turning in, fought on steadily but held by leaders in the run home. |
6 | 9 | COTTON FINGERS (H398) | M Chadwick | TT | Held up behind mid-division, hung in in the home straight and proved difficult to ride, ran on mildly towards the finish. |

11 | 7 | SUPER HIGHWAY (G050) | C Y Ho | V/TT | Settled 3-wide in midfield, pushed along 450M but not quickened. Never dangerous. (Blood in trachea.) |
