| 1 | 12 | I'M A WITNESS (T405) | S De Sousa | -- | Positively ridden from 12, crossed to sit outside leader in a slowly run contest, chased hard inside 300M and wore down leader close home for a narrow win. |
| 2 | 4 | HARRIER JET (T372) | S Clipperton | B-/V1/TT | Jumped on terms from 11 and crossed to a 2-wide spot in midfield, 3Ls off leader at 600M in a slowly run race, kept responding to pressure from 300M, did best work late and just failed to nail the winner. |
| 3 | 7 | DIEGO KOSTA (T357) | J Moreira | -- | Away well to share lead on the inside, pace slow, led down the straight until headed by first 2 in the shadows of post. |
| 4 | 8 | ISAAC (V387) | Z Purton | B/TT | Sat just off the pace, raced keenly when leader steadied the tempo passing 1000M, worked to the line hard from 300M, narrowly beaten to 4th in a blanket finish. |
| 5 | 1 | MOST BEAUTIFUL (A022) | N Rawiller | TT | Jumped fair to be 7th on the inside 3Ls back on settling, finished off well over final 300M and was nearest at the finish beaten only a neck in 5th. |
| 6 | 9 | THE SUPREME (V370) | K C Leung | H/XB | Eased back to near the rear, difficult to settle 900M, about 4-5Ls off the slow pace home turn, held up near 200M, switched lane and closed off steadily for a close 6th. |
| 7 | 11 | GIANT STARS (T218) | A Badel | H/XB/TT | Began fairly, 5Ls off the pace early stages, switched to 3-wide 700M, closed off moderately without threatening leaders. |
| 8 | 5 | LUCKY DOUBLE EIGHT (P212) | O Doleuze | -- | Taken back from wide barrier, in 2nd last 6Ls off the slow pace, bumped and taken wider 800M, brought wide 350M, stayed on without threatening. |
| 9 | 10 | BRILLIANT DREAM (S203) | K Teetan | B/H | Began awkwardly, taken back from wide barrier, held last spot to straight, checked 300M, made some progress after but never reach contention. |
| 10 | 6 | GO BABY GO (N033) | N Callan | -- | Chased leaders in a slowly run race, couldn't muster the speed to be closer passing 300M, weakened from 150M. (Lame next day.) |
| 11 | 3 | SO FAST (S419) | B Prebble | H/P | Never far off but caught 3-wide no cover passing 1000M, outpaced 400M and plodded home behind runners. |
