| 2 | 5 | GOLDEN LINK (D222) | J Moreira | -- | Raced in midfield away from rail. Eased wider approaching the corner, sprinted well but raced greenly in straight before closing within a length on line. |
| 3 | 7 | BIG LUCK CHAMP (D165) | B Shinn | -- | Improved after first section to race in midfield on the rail. Shifted out into clear running near the 300m before making steady late ground in final furlong to move to third inside final 50m. |

| 8 | 14 | SPEEDY DRAGON (B185) | T H So | -- | Raced in midfield, three wide with cover throughout. Ridden along before straightening before yielding a further length in the straight. Wasn't the worse effort considering wide passage but was never a winning threat. |
