| 2 | 5 | CERISE CHERRY (L141) | T Angland | B/TT | Given a waiting ride, 7Ls to make up passing 400M, finished off very strongly, nearest finish. |
| 3 | 10 | MASQUERADER (N234) | T Clark | B1/TT | Positioned 3-wide in the group chasing leaders, no cover for the entire trip, responded well inside 300M, led mid-straight, headed inside 100M. |
| 4 | 8 | GOOD WORDS (L371) | M Chadwick | TT | Always handy, 2-wide in the group chasing the pace, kept on steadily in straight but not able to close in on leaders. |

| 10 | 12 | EMPEROR CLAUDIUS (M128) | M L Yeung | P/XB | Held up in mid-division, had to be pushed along to maintain its position near 600M, never able to challenge. |
| 11 | 7 | BLAZE KING (CK104) | M Du Plessis | TT | Urged along to lead, set steady pace, headed near 200M, weakened rapidly final stages. |
| 12 | 3 | FINAL ANSWER (L178) | D Whyte | XB/TT | Tracked leaders in a steadily run race but found disappointingly little turning into straight, dropped away inside 200M. |
