2 1 SON PAK FU (G265) P N Wong B/TT Began well before easing back to race in midfield, lay in home straight and proved difficult to ride under 7lb claimer, did best work late to claim 2nd.

4 8 TELECOM FIGHTERS (D482) H T Mo -- From draw 11 urged to go forward to be pressing leader on outside, took over early straight, caught by winner nearing 100M, no extra late weakened to 4th.
5 12 PRESTIGE ALWAYS (J300) M F Poon B/TT From widest draw unable to cross runners on its inside and raced very wide without cover in midfield for the majority of the race, fought on steadily final 300M to finish a non-threatening 5th.
6 6 AMAZING KID (K434) A Atzeni -- Jumped on terms, raced 3-wide no cover in midfield, kept battling final 300M but unable to quicken. Steadied 50M
