2 5 LUCKY KING (CA304) G Schofield -- Settled worse than midfield about 7Ls off pace down back straight, 5-wide into home straight when 5Ls off speed, stayed on well to take 2nd in final strides.
3 2 AURELIAN (CC025) H W Lai B2 2Ls off pace and well-placed in 4th through to home straight, caught in a pocket off home turn until the 300 M, about 2.5Ls down in 5th at 200 M, bumped under pressure closing stages.

5 13 CHING HOI BOY (CC222) D Whyte B 3-wide but with cover down the back when 6Ls off pace in 9th, 5-wide turning for home when 4Ls down, held every chance when 1L down in 2nd 250 M out, no extra, faded final 100 M.
6 9 HIP HIP HOORAY (CD258) M Kinane -- Slow start, raced greenly, 2-wide about 6Ls or 7Ls off speed down the back, switched inside off home turn when 5Ls down in 10th, never troubled leaders but did make up some late ground.
7 14 KING OF SPADES (CC056) K C Tsang -- Dropped out about 8Ls or 9Ls last along backstretch, 4-wide and about 6Ls last off home turn, made some moderate late headway past some beaten rivals.
