| 1 | 7 | NICKU (CK389) | M L Yeung | TT | No early speed, raced 5ls or so back on rails, enjoyed an easy trip, gained inside split turning and closed race off too well despite shifting late. |
| 2 | 1 | LUCKY CHEVALIER (M113) | Z Purton | SR/TT | Assumed a spot just in front of midfield on rails, had all favours in run, angled wider turning in and closed off well despite a slight bump to just miss. |
| 3 | 8 | WATCH FIRST (L160) | G Mosse | B | Reserved at the tail of the field, had to switch out for clear run turning in, closed off well when clear 200M. |
| 4 | 9 | EAST OCEAN (CK340) | U Rispoli | CP | Ended up racing behind midfield, 6ls or so back in running line, closed race off evenly towards inside to make frame. |
| 5 | 5 | CASA JUNIOR (M366) | R Fourie | B | Took up a position in midfield, 4ls or so back, not asked in mid-section, switched out and just battled on at same speed without looking likely. |
| 6 | 6 | PRECISION MAGIC (CJ262) | T Clark | B/TT | No early pace, settled amongst last few, tempo suited, well back turning, took inside runs and closed off well to be nearest on line. |
| 7 | 10 | POLYGOLD (CK309) | D Whyte | CP | Ended up back with last few, 8ls or so away, aided by tempo but still a long way back turning, passed a few in run home. |
| 8 | 4 | DYNAMIC CROSS (L426) | W C Marwing | B | Showed speed to cross and lead, set decent tempo early, there until 200m but offered little thereafter. |
| 9 | 2 | GOOD LOOKING WATCH (L278) | T Angland | B/TT | Failed to muster, settled near to rear 9ls or so away, tempo helped but asked for a 3 wide effort from 600m, swung wide, passed only tired ones. |
| 10 | 12 | MASTER RACER (M278) | C W Wong | H-/B | Caught wide from a tricky alley, pressed on to race outside leader, workload too toll approaching turn, dropped out. |
| 11 | 11 | SILENT DEMAND (M415) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Crossed to be prominent before assuming 1 out 1 back role, began to weaken approaching turn, folded tamely thereafter. |
| 12 | 3 | FASTALOT (L376) | N Callan | H/B2/TT | Took a nice spot behind leader, even run despite early speed, struggly turning and didn't see out journey. |
