| 1 | 1 | DAO DAO (CH308) | D Whyte | -- | Began fairly, settling in rear of midfield of small field. Shifted out for a run when 7th into straight. Ran on gamely under hands and heels riding to assert final strides. |
| 2 | 2 | FLYING BISHOP (CA296) | C K Tong | TT | Broke well. Soon crossed to rails to hold narrow lead. Kicked 2Ls clear shortly after straightening, only to be worn down close to home. |
