| 1 | 3 | TRIPLE EXPRESSO (BS141) | A Marcus | B | Niggled along to be in touch. Behind leader into straight. Made sustained effort to hit front closing stages. |
| 2 | 9 | RED ZONE (BP304) | Y T Cheng | -- | Tardy start, settled towards rear. Made up good ground final 200 M to just miss. |
| 3 | 1 | SOLID CONTACT (BP168) | E Legrix | -- | Always well there, awkwardly placed behind another runner 200 M out. Ran on steadily until no extra near finish. |
| 4 | 7 | STYLISH (BV025) | M W Leung | B/TT | Steadily dropped to rear of midfield from wide barrier. Shifted out to go forward at 200 M and ran on to be nearest at finish. |
