| 1 | 8 | O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Camped behind midfield the fence. Peeled out after the 500m, worked into the nicely, and in the straight ran on well. |
| 2 | 4 | JADE PINS (L432) | K C Leung | B/TT | Slow to begin then ridden along early settling worse than midfield the fence. Ended up almost last at the 600m, but saved ground thereafter on the inside & in the home straight closed off well, just going under narrowly. |
| 3 | 11 | KING GALILEO (L028) | Y T Cheng | CP2 | Traveled with the backmakers, 2 wide with cover. Made a forward move near the 800m, improving to race behind the leaders, 3 deep no cover. Maintained a good gallop down the running. |

| 6 | 10 | MR SPEEDY (M183) | M Du Plessis | -- | Dictated terms along the fence at slow fractions. Was inclined to lay out in transit, but had no other excuses. |
