2 4 CIRCUIT STAR (N220) N Callan TT Broke well from the middle gate, settled 3L back in 5th travelling 3-wide down far side, took closer order from the Rock, improved under pressure from 1L 3rd into straight to hold minor chance briefly but winner too strong.
3 11 RUGBY AMBASSADOR (S314) K C Leung XB/TT Tailed-off early, joined back-markers rounding home bend, hampered by faller entering straight, made steady headway near the centre of the track without threatening.

5 9 DRAGON GLORY (P130) S De Sousa B/TT Not far off, improved to dispute lead rounding home bend, failed to hold place under pressure inside final 200 metres.
6 2 SOUTHCHINA COMMAND (S290) Z Purton V Settled behind midfield on rails, hampered by faller entering straight, kept on steadily to finish.
7 12 KING OF SMARTS (S176) Y T Cheng PC Ridden to soon take up running, joined in front when pace slackened rounding home bend, unable to sustain effort and swamped inside final 200 metres.
8 10 MIGHTY WONGCHOY (S050) G Mosse -- Settled in last few from the widest gate, slightly affected by the fall entering straight, made no impression thereafter.

UR 7 FUNNY FORTUNE (P227) J Moreira B Jumped well from the middle gate, soon obtained one-back position on rails, apparently stumbled and dislodged rider entering straight.
