| 1 | 11 | HIGHLAND DRAGON (N265) | K Teetan | CP | Box seated. Hit the front at the 150m, managed to repel late challenge to win by the narrowest of margins. |
| 2 | 7 | NAMJONG BLOSSOMS (N129) | J Moreira | B | Ridden nicely from a wide gate to settle 3 back the fence with cover. Finished off with plenty of purpose, laid in over the final 100m, which didn't help its cause. |
| 3 | 1 | GENUINE CHAMPION (P402) | T Berry | B | Camped behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Shifted deep on straightening, closed off well. |
| 4 | 10 | NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) | T H So | XB | Showed plenty of gate speed, then drifted back to settle 1 off with cover, midfield. Finished off soundly. |
| 5 | 6 | OCEAN ROAR (N317) | H W Lai | B | Speared forward and led on the fence. Commenced to give ground near the 100m. |
| 6 | 8 | VICTORY GENERAL (L396) | B Prebble | B | Travelled in 2nd position, outside the leader. Had every chance, faded over the final 150m. |
| 7 | 2 | DOUBLE MASTER (P105) | Z Purton | B/XB/TT | Didn't enjoy the best of trips after being crowded at the start then being checked at the 800m. Raced towards the rear one off with cover. Did nothing in the run home. |
| 8 | 4 | LUCKY PIONEER (S174) | A Suborics | -- | Travelled worse than midfield, 2 deep with cover. Kept on at the same pace down the running. |
| 9 | 5 | NATURAL EIGHT (S243) | N Callan | H1/P1 | Missed the start settling second last on the paint with cover. Was one paced in the home stretch. |
| 10 | 3 | FOREVER GENKI (S222) | M Chadwick | TT1 | Was detached for most of the race in last position. Made no impression finishing with backmakers. |
| 11 | 12 | HEARTILY TALK (P091) | C K Tong | CP | Effectively raced one out one back. Raced keenly in the early stages, struggled in the home straight, finishing at the rear. |
