2 | 3 | ENCHANTING DIAMOND (S136) | D Whyte | B | Jumped fairly, niggled along in midfield early stages, moved closer rounding home bend, improving when hampered 200 metres out, soon renewed effort to claim 2nd near the line. |
3 | 13 | ORIENTAL FANTASIA (P269) | H N Wong | H/SR/TT | Broke well from the wide draw, soon led and gradually came across for rails run 1200 metres out, unable to sustain effort and headed inside the 200 metres. |
