| 3 | 2 | JOY COMING (H149) | M L Yeung | CP/TT | Raced on the leaders back for the majority. Moved off the rail on straightening, moved up to be a neck from lead at 150m, fought well but couldn't go with first two late. |
| 4 | 1 | SIGHT HERO (D487) | K Teetan | BO/TT | Raced in midfield along the rail throughout. Stayed along the rail & was slightly awkward on straightening when 4L behind before halving deficit on the line when finishing off along the rail. |

| 7 | 10 | HARMONY N HOME (C531) | C L Chau | -- | Was bumped between runners after start & was then steadied & taken back to clear last. Was nearly 9L from the lead entering final section before making late ground from a long way back to finish in midfield. |
