| 1 | 4 | MAKARPURA STAR (BM016) | F Coetzee | -- | Sat behind tearaway leader. Cruised past inside 300 M and ran on strongly hands and heels. Held on well to the line. |
| 2 | 5 | PRIVILEGE (BL056) | D Holland | -- | Pushed to lead, setting strong pace. Headed 200 M. Kept on well. |
| 3 | 6 | STERLING TOWN (BK069) | L O'Sullivan | -- | Soon settled behind leaders. Responded well under pressure 300 M out. Found the first two horses too strong. |
