2 | 7 | GILDED FLIGHT (CH294) | Y T Cheng | -- | Went forward to press the pace, wide till 1100 M then tracked leader one out one back to straight, challenged strongly from 300 M and briefly led, galloped on in late stages and was just caught. |
3 | 11 | MR TOPAZ (CL097) | H W Lai | SR1 | Towards the rear along the fence, held up near the entrance of the straight, came through horses inside 200 M and finished with a late flourish. |
4 | 12 | MY MATE ADRIC (CL004) | J Lloyd | H | Obtained a fence position in midfield after a slow start, moved up to challenge on the inside approaching home straight, kept on well to the post and was just edged out by the top 3 in a close finish. |
5 | 10 | VILASOL (CK303) | M L Yeung | SR/V | Switched off to last about 6 to 7Ls behind leader, moved away from fence inside 350 M for a clear path, finished off strongly final 200 M and narrowly missed out on a placing. |
