| 2 | 2 | TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) | M Chadwick | CP | Duelled for the lead in the 1 off line. Pinched a break early in the straight but was nabbed close to the winning post. |
| 3 | 3 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | B Prebble | B | Knuckled over at the start then was beaten for speed settling midfield, 1 off with cover. Closed off soundly. |
| 4 | 4 | MAGIC KING (CH182) | K C Leung | B/XB | From a wide gate managed to race just off the speed before settling 3 back, 2-wide with cover in a trailing position. Battled away one paced in the final stages. |
| 5 | 1 | FLY HIGH (CH126) | J Winks | V | Not the best away and after receiving at bump the start settled behind midfield 2-wide with cover. Never really threatened. |

| 10 | 12 | SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) | S K Sit | B | Wasn't the best to begin and took up last position. Never a factor. |
