| 2 | 3 | LOVELY NAUGHTY (S153) | D Whyte | B | Never far off after beginning from a poor draw, caught very wide far side and 3-wide home bend, ran on steadily under pressure but outsprinted close to home. |
| 3 | 10 | ALWAYS WONDERFUL (P347) | K C Leung | -- | Ridden positively from a wide draw to gain narrow advantage early stages, disputed the lead around home bend before taking over inside the 200 metres, but only to be headed final strides. |
