| 2 | 6 | MASTER POWER (CG318) | D Beadman | B | Began only fairly, ended up 5Ls away in 2 wide line, suited by reasonable pace, improved 3 wide on circle, switched out in straight and closed off nicely making many lengths for 2nd. |
| 3 | 10 | GOOD TO GO (CH096) | B Prebble | TT | Bounced out, held lead however pressured throughout by outside horse, still kicked back underneath to be 1/2L down turning, kept finding but just lacked extra to go with first two late. |

| 5 | 5 | ISLAND SPEED (CG202) | H W Lai | B/TT | Reasonable jump, took a trailing position on leaders 1L back, enjoyed an easy time to bend, eased 2 wide tracking eventual winner, had a chance to 200 M but failed to find extra late. |
| 6 | 11 | PICKETT (CG155) | P H Lo | -- | Began well enough, up challenging early before dropping into a 1 out 1 back slot, had run of race thereafter, in mix at 300 M, just unable to lift last 200 M but held ground creditably in run to line. |
| 7 | 3 | GRAND STORE (CH087) | Y T Cheng | -- | Out with rest, allowed to slot in for a trail 3 to 4Ls back on rails, enjoyed an easy time in the middle stages, held up turning in, made even progress however lacked usual finish late. |
