| 2 | 2 | MIGHTY SUN (CK058) | Y T Cheng | B | Showed speed from a wide gate to race in first few, had cover from midpoint, right there on turning, stayed on nicely but found winner too good on day. |
| 3 | 5 | KING AL AKBAR (CK381) | D Beadman | H/XB/TT | Out well, took a nice spot on leaders back, 2-3ls back, helped by slow speed, kept on soundly in straight but unable to get closer final 150m. |
| 4 | 11 | MY HOME TOWN (CH331) | G Cheyne | -- | Drifted back from wide alley to share rear on rails, slow pace early didn't help, 8ls or more away to bend, saved ground and did make some progress late to make frame. |
