| 2 | 12 | DR POSSI (CE288) | C W Wong | -- | Pushed to sit 1Ls off the leader 2-wide, travelled comfortably and benefited by the very slow tempo, led 250 M, hung on until 50 M overhauled, just beaten by a head in 2nd. |
| 3 | 5 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | M W Leung | TT | Pushed along to take the rail and led by 1L at very slow advantageous sectionals, soon overhauled 300 M in straight but kept running on strongly to the line to finish a close 3rd. |
