| 1 | 8 | BAMBOO DANCE (M327) | R Fourie | B | Taken back from a wide barrier, travelled 7.5Ls behind the leader on the fence, switched wide turning in, stormed home 300M to score by a neck despite not suited by the slow pace. |

| 4 | 4 | REALLY THE BEST (M188) | T Berry | TT | Rolled forward to settle 1L off outside the leader, benefited by the slow sectionals, stayed on well until 50M overhauled. |
| 5 | 9 | CASA JUNIOR (M366) | C Y Lui | -- | Camped handy, settled 2.5Ls behind the leader 2 wide, suited by the slow pace, however just held ground in straight. |
