4 | 12 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | Y T Cheng | SR-/CP- | Fastest into stride, took up running and pressured for early lead, kept them rolling at genuine clip, dictated terms to turn held 1/2L advantage to 250 M, showed usual fight to be right in finish. |
5 | 6 | ROYAL FALCON (CE091) | C Soumillon | B2/TT | Slow to begin, ridden up to hold midfield spot 2 wide 3Ls from front runners, travelled well after working early, hard ridden on home turn, stuck to task well in straight being closest at finish. |

7 | 11 | MY LUCK (CE256) | R Fradd | -- | Broke well, took up position behind the leader, had run of race through middle stages, on bit to turn, in mix until 250 M but unable to sprint with them and weakened out from that point. |

9 | 13 | NOBLE WIND (CD175) | K S Yu | SR/TT | Away well, ridden hard to hold forward position, pushed on in early speed duel outside leader, raced at leaders girth throughout, under pressure entering straight, there until 300 M but workload took its toll. |
