| 2 | 12 | GREAT SPIRIT (P037) | K C Leung | -- | Steadied soon after start, dropped to clear last first turn. Not pressured till 400m when taken 5-wide, ran home strongly to just miss. |

| 4 | 5 | BEST ELEVEN (N016) | M Chadwick | CP1/TT | Began well, ridden along between horses to stay in touch with leaders. Had clear run entering straight and kept on steadily to be closest at finish. |
| 5 | 3 | EL ZONDA (CK132) | A Suborics | TT | Began fairly, threw head up passing 1000m and raced ungenerously to 900m when unbalanced. Did not settle until final turn, finished off nicely final 150m. |
