2 | 5 | CAPTAIN HAPPY (CE015) | F Coetzee | TT | Began well and pushed along to take lead on rail with around 1/2L advantage through to straight. All out 250 M and responded well but was unable to fend off challenge from winner inside final 100 M. |
3 | 2 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | G Schofield | V | Broke fairly and soon settled in midfield or better 2-wide through to straight. Near the 250 M steadied and shifted out to avoid heels. All out 200 M out and made steady ground to grab 3rd on the line. |
4 | 8 | GRAND COMMANDS (CD300) | A Delpech | SR | Slow to begin and hard ridden along to race in a handy position on rail to straight. Responded fairly when asked 250 M out but was overhauled by 3rd placegetter on the line. |

6 | 9 | BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) | D Whyte | TT | Jumped fairly from a wide draw and steadily settled in midfield 2-wide. Switched out on straightening to obtain clear running, under pressure 300 M out and ran on fairly to be closest at finish. |
7 | 7 | FLAMING LAMBORGINI (CE146) | W M Lai | -- | Slowly away and soon recovered to be in midfield on rail through to straight. Kept on fairly when asked 250 M out but over the final 100 M was awkwardly placed on heels and was not fully tested. |
8 | 4 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | B Prebble | -- | Steadily eased from a wide draw to the rear but closer to the rail through to straight. Under pressure 250 M out and made little impression in the closing stages to be closest at finish. |
