| 3 | 3 | CHARITY JOY (P278) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Was leaning on stall when gates opened and lost ground. Ridden along to keep tabs on leaders, shifted in 400m to get clear run and finished off strongly. |
| 4 | 8 | TANGO FIRE (S081) | J Moreira | B | Began well, made to work to keep with pace while trying to get closer to outer fence. Raced fiercely when close to heels 500m, kept on steadily without looking dangerous. |
| 5 | 4 | CHOICE TREASURE (N436) | Y T Cheng | -- | Jumped well but did not have enough speed to stay with leaders, settling behind horses 2.5L from leader. Held for run for some distance passing 500m, got clear 200m out and finished off strongly. |
