1 4 HONOUR LIST (L358) Z Purton V Broke well from a high draw settling 3-wide in a prominent spot, remained similar turning in, soon hit the front after straightening, just held off late challenges.
2 5 VIVA DOLPHIN (M071) W M Lai SR/TT Began awkwardly losing ground, soon recovered to midfield on rails, shifted out for a run turning in, fought on steadily to be nearest at finish.

5 8 FLYING KEEPER (M191) C Y Ho B/TT Settled 2-wide in midfield, shifted wider turning in, made steady headway under pressure down the centre of the straight, found no extra close to home.
