| 2 | 8 | TSUNAMI (CD105) | S Dye | -- | Jumped well but soon eased back to race near the rear. Remained in rear section on straightening with a 6Ls deficit at 400 M. Staged an impressive rally final 300 M despite hanging in and was closest at the line. |
| 3 | 7 | TABBRIS (CB088) | G Mosse | -- | Urged to the lead from wide draw and crossed to the rails heading into the turn. Held a length's advantage going into home straight and kept lead into final 200 M. Stayed on well but failed to hold off the top pair final stages. |

| 9 | 9 | KE JIA WANG (CD049) | D Dunn | -- | Jumped well and led briefly in the early stages. Settled 2-wide behind the pace before being carried to 3-wide 800 M out. Clumsy making home turn and fell to midfield before straightening. Couldn't find extra in the straight. |
