2 | 12 | WEALTHY TREASURE (CC270) | C Williams | -- | 2-wide and about 5Ls off pace in 5th at 800 M, travelled well on circle, picked up well to dispute led 200 M out and clear advantage over 100 M out, headed at 50 M, no extra. |
3 | 1 | ELEGANT FASHION (CC190) | G Mosse | -- | Severely checked at 800 M to 6Ls off pace and 2-wide, same into home straight and held up for a run until 300 M out, 2Ls down in 6th at 200 M, stayed on well without troubling quinella pair. |
4 | 4 | PALETTE NATURAL (CB284) | D Whyte | -- | 9Ls off pace when 3-wide with cover at 800 M, 3-wide into home straight when 6Ls off pace towards rear, stayed on well but never likely to reach the quinella. |

6 | 6 | BLUE STITCH (CB031) | D Dunn | V-/TT- | A little slowly away, in rear 10Ls off pace and 2-wide at 800 M, 4-wide entering straight (widest of all), ran on fairly well past a few beaten rivals. |
7 | 3 | MERIDIAN STAR (BV177) | T Mundry | -- | One from rear on fence when 10Ls off pace at 800 M, niggled along to be 8Ls down on straightening, about 4Ls down in 10th at 200 M, kept on at same pace to line. |
8 | 5 | VISORHILL (CB254) | P Payne | -- | 3-wide without cover and a neck 2nd at 1000 M, 2-wide at 800 M, travelled smoothly when 2Ls 2nd into stretch, disputed lead 200 M out, didn't find much under pressure and soon swamped. |
9 | 9 | WINTROW (CC175) | G Schofield | -- | Slowly away, checked at 800 M to about 9Ls off pace and 2-wide, hung out entering home straight when about 7Ls off pace in 11th, never troubled principals. |
10 | 10 | WYNDAM EASY (CB273) | B Prebble | -- | Soon led, a neck in front on fence at 1000 M, 2Ls to the good at the home turn, joined at the 200 M and faded out through closing stages. |
11 | 7 | GRAND DELIGHT (CB355) | S Dye | B | 3Ls off pace on fence at 900 M, became unbalanced and lost place at 800 M to be 6Ls off speed in 6th, 5Ls down in midfield entering home straight, always held. |
