| 1 | 9 | SOVIET PEARL (CK187) | Z Purton | -- | Settled last in the first half, made a bold 4-wide move approaching the home turn, put in a sustained effort to get up inside 100 M, cruised home. |
| 2 | 1 | DUMBARTON ROCK (CJ228) | K W Leung | B/TT | Vied for lead in early and middle stages, took over and built up a 2Ls lead passing 600 M, galloped on soundly but was outpaced by the winner inside 100 M. |
| 3 | 4 | LITTLE DREAMS (CL095) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Settled 2-wide in mid-division, moved closer rounding the home turn, stuck on well down the inside. |

| 5 | 12 | YUE LU TREASURE (CJ184) | B Prebble | B | Settled behind midfield 6Ls off the pace, checked near 400 M then taken to outside for a clear run, ran on well from off the pace. |

| 8 | 11 | BUTTERFIELD (CG178) | G Cheyne | PC-/B2 | Raced 3-wide throughout and never better than midfield, ran on one-paced turning in. Never a factor. |
