2 | 9 | CLOUD NINE (T416) | K Teetan | V/XB | Ridden along from the widest gate before taken back for cover in joint 6th some 4L back, carried 5 wide and circled the field home bend, hit the front on straightening, headed over 70M out. |

7 | 6 | FRIENDS OF KA YING (T370) | C Wong | B | Crowded at start, hard ridden to be up with the leaders disputing leader on the rail from 1200 metres out, gained half a length advantage rounding home bend but soon headed entering straight, folded up quickly. |
