| 1 | 4 | STERLING TOWN (BK069) | B Marcus | -- | Improved from rear to be 3L off pace at 500 M. Came under pressure from 300 M and flashed home powerfully to claim race final 50 M. (Promoted.) |
| 2 | 3 | CLEAN THEM UP (BG228) | J Marshall | -- | Well placed in 3rd to 1/2 way. Quickened to lead from 300 M and soon kicked 2L clear. Looked certain but failed to resist winner's strong late challenge towards finish. |

| 4 | 1 | EVER THE BEST (BJ119) | D Beadman | -- | Never able to challenge though made up some ground from 300 M. |
| 5 | 8 | GOLDCHIN CHAMP (BJ017) | G Mosse | -- | Rear till running past some tiring horses inside 300 M. |
| 6 | 6 | NIKIM (BH105) | K M Chin | -- | Never a factor. |
| 7 | 5 | GRACEFUL WIN (BJ003) | D Lee | -- | Made narrow running to 400 M. Weakened from 2nd approaching 200 M. |
