| 2 | 3 | MASTER HERO (D501) | K Teetan | XB/TT | Raced worse than midfield early before improving position in middle stages when left 3 deep without cover. Entered last section 4L behind before closing strongly to snare second in late stages. Ran well, no match for winner. |
| 3 | 5 | UNICORNBABY (C203) | C L Chau | B/TT | Raced outside the leader early before getting good position 1,1 near the 850m. Moved up to share lead fleetingly approaching the 200m before passed by winner. Held third after being caught for second in final few strides. |
| 4 | 13 | APEX TOP (D136) | M Chadwick | B | Enjoyed good run in midfield away from the rail throughout. Eased 3 wide approaching corner, dashed up to share lead momentarily approaching the 200m before battling away to just miss a placing. Not far from second. |
| 5 | 2 | EVERYONE'S DELIGHT (D029) | A Badel | V/TT1 | Steadied after the start & shifted back from wide barrier to race second last. Continued a long way back on cornering, 6.5L from the lead entering last section before making steady late ground to midfield. (Rider questioned). |

| 9 | 7 | FORMULA EXCEL (D502) | C Y Ho | -- | Raced in midfield & shifted down to the rail near the 1000m mark. Raced tight & awkwardly placed when shifting off rail on cornering, entered last section under 3L from the lead before peaking mid-straight & weakening. |
