1 | 5 | LUCKY LAD (CA148) | M Rodd | B | Always prominent about 2Ls off pace when 3-wide, 1L down in 3rd off home turn, picked up well to lead over 200 M out, hung a bit left and did enough to hang on. |
2 | 11 | FAVOURITE EXPRESS (CB041) | H W Lai | SR | Slowly away and checked at start, about 6Ls last down backstretch, 6-wide (widest of all) into home straight when 5Ls last, ran on very strongly down centre of course but too late. |
3 | 8 | GREEN TREASURE (CD225) | G Schofield | -- | Held up about 5Ls off pace in midfield down back straight, severely checked at 900 M, 5Ls down and 4-wide in 12th off home turn, no chance with leading pair but stayed on well for 3rd. |
4 | 3 | SPINNING CITY (CB252) | G Mosse | B | Raced freely down backstretch, worse than midfield when 5-wide off home and 4Ls off the speed, picked up well to dispute 3rd place about 2Ls off the pace at the 200 M, no extra. |
5 | 2 | PEAK POWER (BV002) | W M Lai | P | Worse than midfield and 2-wide about 5Ls off the speed down backstretch, never posed much of a threat but made a little late headway. |

7 | 9 | ASIA RISING (BT270) | T Mundry | -- | Hindered at start, towards rear about 6Ls off pace, 4-wide into home straight when 4Ls down in 12th, ran on past a few beaten rivals. |

11 | 13 | SUPER FANTASY (CD162) | B Doyle | -- | Bumped at the start and forced to race at least 4 and 5-wide without cover down backstretch and clipped heels and pecked 900 M out, still wide off home turn, beaten 300 M out. |
