| 1 | 7 | CROWN REGENT (BS034) | S King | B | Settled in 5th. Niggled along from home bend and ran on determinedly to just get up on line. |
| 2 | 3 | DIAMOND KING (BN121) | D Whyte | B | Settled in 4th within striking distance. Improved to hit front over 100 M out but pipped at post and lost by the narrowest margin. |
| 3 | 10 | NEVER SAY NO (BN059) | K S Yu | B/H/TT | Settled towards rear. Made up a lot of ground in straight doing best work at finish. |
