| 2 | 12 | PREMIER SPEED (CB213) | E Saint-Martin | SR | Took keen hold early on racing 7 to 8Ls off pace towards rear, still in rear and very wide turning for home, ran on very strongly in straight passing post on stands rail. |
| 3 | 11 | COUNTRY DRAGON (BV294) | F Coetzee | -- | Always 2-wide and 3 to 4Ls off pace until straight, quickened up to go 2nd about 2Ls off winner 200 M out, stayed on. |

| 5 | 6 | DANRIVA (CA040) | D Dunn | -- | Raced 2-wide about 6Ls off pace in back straight, effort at top of straight to go about 3Ls off leader 200 M out, a bit one-paced to line closing stages. |
| 6 | 10 | STRATEGIC SELECT (CB133) | B Marcus | -- | Missed start and raced keenly early on about 8Ls off pace and 2-wide, entered home straight very wide but ran on well enough to be nearest at finish. |
