| 1 | 11 | HANDSOME REBEL (B469) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Pushed forward, raced outside the leader early before racing third from the 600m. Moved to the lead at the 75m mark & was too strong in final stages. |
| 2 | 10 | FARIBAULT (D454) | M Chadwick | B | Bumped at start but improved quickly to race midfield between runners. Eased wider on the track near the 400m mark before closing off strongly in the final furlong to charge to fast finishing second late. |
| 3 | 2 | FABULOUS EIGHT (B473) | R Moore | B/TT | Steadied after first 100m & raced with only three runners behind when galloping between rivals. Shifted outwards to be the widest runner soon after straightening before finishing strongly down the outside late for third. |
| 4 | 6 | JUNEAU FLASH (H084) | T Marquand | -- | Pushed forward but was wide without cover before improving position to race outside the leader from 600m. Continued a touch wide on cornering, fought on well all the way to the line & was only over-run for 2nd in final 25m. |
| 5 | 7 | SUPREME LUCKY (G457) | Z Purton | B1/TT | Didn't have early speed & raced just worse than midfield early before improving along the rail to midfield from 700m. Stayed near inside & had clear running on straightening before finishing off well late, close behind. |
| 6 | 4 | CIRCUIT SEVEN (D474) | K C Leung | H/TT | Showed early speed to lead. Headed by the winner near the 75m mark & was over-run late but still wasn't beaten far in midfield. |
| 7 | 1 | FORTE (D498) | H Bowman | CP/XB/TT | Began awkwardly before improving in first 100m & getting nice position 1,1. Raced keen from 800m, was awkwardly placed just before cornering before being passed by rivals in last furlong, weakening to be beaten 3L. |
| 8 | 9 | VALHALLA (E495) | J McDonald | XB/B1/TT | Raced wide but with cover in midfield early before drifting back to third last after 700m. Continued third last on straightening when well back before making up late ground down the outside to finish midfield from the rear. |
| 9 | 8 | OVERSUBSCRIBED (C361) | S De Sousa | XB | Steadied soon after the start & dragged back to race second last. Moved away from the inside on straightening before making up a few late lengths but still only beating three rivals home. |
| 10 | 5 | CHARMING STEED (E494) | L Hewitson | TT | Ridden forward to race on leaders back after start. Stayed along the rail on straightening when 4th before peaking on run in last 100m & weakening out quickly late. |
| 11 | 3 | MOMENTUM GALAXY (C275) | J Kah | B | Was trapped racing three wide in midfield but did have some cover around bend. Was under 3L from the lead on straightening but emptied at the 150m & weakened out late. |
| 12 | 12 | UNIVERSAL CROWN (D240) | H Doyle | B | Taken back behind runners & raced a clear last throughout. Was nearly 8L from the lead approaching the home corner, stayed along the inside in the straight but had too much to do & was last. |
