| 2 | 10 | SHINKANSEN (H277) | A Pouchin | SR-/H/CP1/TT | Jumped on terms, chased leaders in 3rd, fought hard vying for the lead on straightening, just couldn't match winner's pace final 100M. |
| 3 | 5 | HAPPY TANGO (D075) | Y L Chung | B | Quickly into stride, soon led and took them along at steady pace, continued on well inside 300M, lost lead near 100M but held on well enough for 3rd. |
