3 3 MARZOUQ (B094) J Moreira -- Guided to a midfield position along the 2-path, driven along 550M, stayed on mildly to claim 3rd before line but no impression on first 2.
4 8 EARTH TRILOGY (C211) K C Leung XB2 Close up behind leaders, 5th on home turn, kept battling on straightening but couldn't match finishing pace of first 2 mid-straight, held 3rd till last stride.
5 13 AMAZING CHOCOLATE (C059) M F Poon B/H Switched off to the rear after the start, 10Ls off the pace on settling, still last at 400M, worked home well but too far back to threaten the runaway first 2.

11 9 FARSHAD (B238) H N Wong P-/B1 Pressed forward to be sharing the lead on outside, had little left and gave ground from 350M, eased final 200M as jockey felt the horse may have been galloped on.

13 4 KUNGFUMASTER PANDA (C153) M L Yeung XB/TT Began only fairly, moved up to a midfield spot along the rails on settling, going one paced when severely checked 250M losing momentum, eased final 150M.
