1 | 12 | GORGEOUS LIFE (CK327) | K C Leung | B/XB/TT | Began well, settled just off the speed on rails, two back in 5th rounding bend, shifted off rails to challenge entering straight, ran on to gain upper hand closing stages. |
2 | 5 | TREASURE GLITTER (M031) | O Doleuze | B | Niggled at early setting in forward of midfield on rails, fought on doggedly to just fail to get up on line. |

14 | 4 | SURE FORWARD (CK325) | C Y Ho | B | Midfield early gradually settling in last few, never a factor. |
