2 | 5 | PALEPALE (M407) | T Clark | B/H | Took early lead, tracked leader making the turn, ran on under hands and heels riding, not pace of winner final 100M. (Jockey lost use of whip in the straight.) |
3 | 2 | WAH MAY STAR (M254) | Y T Cheng | -- | Driven forward from widest draw, crossed to lead before home turn and set a steady pace, responded well to urging in straight and was only headed 50M from home. |

5 | 10 | TOUCH WELL (N086) | O Doleuze | -- | Chased leader, driven along nearing 400M, kept on well early straight and loomed a threat 250M, outpaced final 100M. |
6 | 7 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | M L Yeung | BO | Dropped in behind midfield, well off the pace in the 1st half but moved closer over the turn, stayed on fairly making little impression on leaders. |
