| 2 | 6 | RED MAJESTY (E028) | K Teetan | CP-/B2/TT | Had a nice run 1,1 for the majority. Bumped with the winner passing the 300m & was taken inwards before closing off steadily all the way to take second place in final strides. |
| 3 | 4 | SPLENDID LIVING (E192) | Z Purton | CP/TT | Had a nice run on the leaders back for the majority. Steadied from the leaders heels just before straightening, stayed along the rail before closing off well but being unable to match the finish burst of the winner. |
| 4 | 7 | HK DRAGON (E222) | A Atzeni | SR-/V2/TT | Drifted back after the start to race third last away from the rail. Was ridden along from 475m to improve, was about 4L behind on straightening before making up a steady length or so down the outside to finish fourth. |
| 5 | 9 | EIGHTEEN PALMS (H033) | L Hewitson | B | Pushed forward after start before racing second away from the rail. Raced at leaders girth entering final section, moved to lead at 300m before being passed quickly by the winner near 200m & then weakening a few lengths late. |

| 7 | 5 | PERFECT TEAM (H120) | H Bentley | B/TT | Slightly crowded after first 100m & raced rearward throughout. Continued near the back around bend, was 5L from the lead entering final section before making up a length or so late but never posing a threat. |
| 8 | 10 | PEGASUS GENERAL (G189) | M L Yeung | V | Drifted back after first 100m & raced at the tail. Moved deeper to improve passing 500m, forced very wide on cornering when around 4.5L from lead before only holding deficit when finishing off one paced down the outside. |
| 9 | 8 | CHRYSOS (H136) | L Currie | B/TT | Showed speed to assume lead. Was headed in the lead on straightening before weakening out poorly in the straight to be beaten 9L. |
| 10 | 3 | LOYAL BABY (E130) | M Chadwick | TT | Jumped awkwardly at start & lost a length before racing worse than midfield along the rail. Began weakening badly from the 500m before tailing out in the straight to be a distant last (irregular heart rhythm). |
