2 | 3 | GANG OF BROTHERS (G046) | C Y Ho | V | Jumped well, chased leaders on inside, switched lane 300M, stayed on well to go 2nd close home. |
3 | 11 | M M NEBULA (G279) | M F Poon | CP-/B1/TT | Pressed early after an awkward start, obtained running ahead of midfield, raced keenly, fought on steadily final 300M for 3rd. |
4 | 9 | JUMBO LEGEND (G266) | J Moreira | H/TT | Not hurried early stages, settled down in 10th about 5Ls off the pace, shifted across the track to continue forward passing 300M, stayed on to claim 4th just in time. |
5 | 2 | HARMONY N HOME (C531) | H Bentley | -- | Obtained a 2-wide spot ahead of midfield, stayed on mildly from 300M, held by first few towards the line. (Jockey suspended for failing to ride his horse out to the end of the race.) |
