| 2 | 13 | SWEET BABY (CG294) | W M Lai | V | Bounced out well, assumed 1 out 1 back role, enjoyed good trip, 3Ls back on turning, steadily made progress making run to 200 M but couldn't go with winner late. |

| 5 | 8 | CHINESE BOY BOY (CH157) | O Doleuze | V1 | Tardy jump, re-gathered to race 4Ls back in midfield, had easy trip on fence, saved ground on rails turning, made good progress with a checked passage and held up last 100 M. Better effort. |
| 6 | 5 | DANABAA (CH007) | F Coetzee | -- | Out well, raced behind leader but proved difficult to settle throughout, lost momentum and position rounding bend, got going again but in traffic for best part of straight. Kept giving. |

| 8 | 2 | SOLAR EMPIRE (CB299) | C K Tong | -- | Fast away, took up expected role in front, worked early setting a solid tempo with pressure applied, steadied off rounding bend, 1 to 2Ls clear turning, there to 200 M but weakened quickly when petrol ran out. |
