Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | TRIUMPHANT MORE (J489) | R Moore | V | Taken back to near last, saved ground along the inside before unleashing a strong turn of foot final 200M to win it in fine style. |
| 2 | 12 | TOURBILLON GOLFER (K320) | U Rispoli | TT | Chased leaders along the 2-path, responded well passing 300M and put in a strong challenge mid-straight, no match for fast finishing winner final stages. |
| 3 | 11 | MIGHTY COMMANDER (J360) | C Lemaire | TT | Bumped after the start then dropped back to race at the rear, had big task in hand leaving home turn before closing off strongly to take 3rd close home. |
| 4 | 9 | MR DESIRA (K411) | H Doyle | -- | From draw 1 took up early running before relinquishing the lead near 800M, retook the lead 150M but lay in forcing jockey to stop riding momentarily. Edged out to 4th near line. |
| 5 | 6 | ROMANTIC SON (J537) | R King | CP | Crowded after the start, raced keenly in a position behind midfield, ran on steadily final 300M to claim 5th. |
| 6 | 10 | NEVER TOO SOON (E434) | J Moreira | CP | Settled towards the rear 6-7Ls back, closed off moderately on straightening but couldn't quite get to the leaders. |
| 7 | 2 | POWER KOEPP (E301) | H Bowman | -- | Jumped fast then restrained to race in midfield, responded well early straight but peaked on its run 150M, in restricted room final 50M could not be fully ridden out. |

| 9 | 5 | AKASHVANI (K234) | J McDonald | B | Settled behind midfield along the inside, made good headway between runners from 250M but was held up for clear running final 100M. Had more to offer. |
| 10 | 1 | KYRUS DRAGON (H396) | Z Purton | XB | From wide draw taken across behind runners, raced at the rear along the inside, was finishing well but got held up between 150M-50M. Would have finished closer. (Lame next day.) |
| 11 | 8 | BUNDLE OF CHARM (G213) | W Buick | -- | Bumped at the start, settled ahead of midfield in 4th spot, couldn't finish off in the straight, (Jockey - would be better suited by being ridden in a more conservative manner.) |
