| 1 | 9 | SPARKY (BT125) | R Fradd | -- | Settled about 5Ls off the pace and 2-wide through to home straight, picked up well to be 3Ls down 200 M out, kept on finding and led about 100 M out, won going away. |
| 2 | 7 | CHARIOT OF STORM (CA194) | F Coetzee | -- | Sluggishly into stride, recovered quickly to lead on the fence 1000 M out, never more than half a length clear until home straight, still in front at the 200 M, headed 100 M out, no extra. |
| 3 | 10 | FLYING GENERAL (CB236) | W C Marwing | SR | Raced 2-wide half a length off pace 1000 M out, dropped back to take the run of the race 2Ls off the lead on fence until home straight, still 2Ls down 200 M out, kept on at same pace. |
| 4 | 6 | WINTROW (CC175) | S Dye | B | Was half a length off the pace out 3-wide 1000 M out, still well there at the turn for home, all out to be a neck behind in 2nd place 200 M out, faded inside final 150 M. |
| 5 | 2 | ONE STEP AHEAD (BT033) | W M Lai | B-/P2 | Inconvenienced exiting gates, was almost 10Ls off the lead 1000 M out, 3-wide and 7Ls off the speed 600 M out, staying on well when 3Ls down 200 M out, couldn't sustain effort. |
| 6 | 5 | CROCKER (CB186) | G Mosse | -- | About 6Ls off the speed down the back straight when 3-wide, 5Ls down and 4-wide on the swing for home, was rather one-paced to the line. |
| 7 | 8 | KEV BUSHIDO (BV166) | E Saint-Martin | SR | On the fence about 4Ls off the lead down the back straight, 3Ls behind and travelling well off the home turn, didn't quicken up and was beaten 200 M out. (Dropped whip 200 M.) |
| 8 | 11 | DEVON ELITE (CA166) | O Doleuze | B | Bounded in the air on exiting gates, 2-wide and 4Ls off the pace 900 M out, a little closer but niggled along 600 M out, was 3-wide into the home straight, no acceleration. |
| 9 | 3 | STARWAY PATROL (CB002) | D Whyte | B/TT | Fractious in gates, slowly away and was already 10Ls detached from main body of field at the 1000 M, never a factor. (Lame.) |
| 10 | 4 | AMBITIOUS LEADER (CC082) | K S Yu | -- | Never better than 7Ls off the pace after the 1000 M, was struggling along way from home. |
| 11 | 1 | GENERAL KINGY (CB039) | S K Sit | -- | Shifted out exiting gates, raced 3 and 4-wide without cover in place, was 4Ls behind the leader 800 M out, hard ridden and 4Ls down entering home straight, soon faded. |
| 12 | 12 | EASY KING (CA062) | G Schofield | SR | Broke well, held up to be 10Ls off the pace on the fence 900 M out, soon driven along and detached from main body of field entering straight, no chance. |
