2 10 DRAGON PRIDE (D164) M Chadwick -- Given a waiting ride near the rear, 6-7Ls to make up 400M, closed off willingly to be nearest at the line, just held.

5 7 VICTORIOUS LEADER (B288) K C Leung -- From wide draw dropped back for cover, moved back up to midfield passing 900M, driven out 400M and finished off the race mildly, always held by leaders.

11 2 GO GO SIXTEEN (E244) M F Poon V/TT Retrained to a 3-wide position behind midfield, driven along nearing 500M, gave limited response only, never a threat to leaders.
