Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | ARABIAN WAGER (CD048) | A Delpech | -- | No worse than 2Ls down in 2nd on fence from 900 M to home straight, picked up well to lead about 150 M out, pulled clear, readily. |
| 2 | 9 | DOWN FOR THE COUNT (CC297) | B Prebble | -- | Away well and led by 2Ls on fence from 700 M to home straight, grabbed by the winner about 150 M out, hung on for 2nd without too much trouble. |
| 3 | 12 | MAJOR BEE (CB374) | H W Lai | B | Briefly 3-wide without cover disputing 3rd at 800 M, got in 2-wide in 3rd at 600 M, still 3Ls down in 3rd from home straight to 200 M, stayed on quite well to hang on for a place. |
| 4 | 4 | GRANDWAY SHUTTLE (CB424) | Y Lerner | B | Always about 4Ls or 5Ls off the speed in midfield until turning for home, stayed on fairly without troubling leaders |
| 5 | 11 | KIMBO KID (CC379) | D Whyte | -- | A little slowly away, 3Ls off pace in about 4th from backstretch to home straight, over 2Ls down in 4th at the 200 M and a bit one-paced, no extra. |
| 6 | 6 | LUCKY GALLOPER (CD030) | B Doyle | B | Bumped at the start, always 2-wide and at least 7Ls or 8Ls last from 800 M to home straight, same margin behind at 200 M, made some late headway down the centre of the track. |
| 7 | 2 | HELENE ELEGANCE (CB004) | W Woods | B/TT | Worse than midfield about 6Ls off the speed until home turn when steadied momentarily, posed little threat. |
| 7 | 7 | MANIFEST (CC048) | C Williams | -- | Fractious in gates, slowly away losing 3Ls on leaders, recovered well to be 5Ls off pace on fence from 800 M to home straight, stayed on okay along the fence but never looked like taking a hand. |
| 9 | 10 | GRASS HOPPER (CD050) | D Dunn | -- | Bounded and bumped at start, worse than midfield about 6Ls or 7Ls off the speed until turning for home, stayed on at only the one pace. |
| 10 | 5 | FANTASTICO (CB167) | M Rodd | B | Bumped and crowded at start, always at least 6Ls or 7Ls one from rear on fence from 800 M to stretch, never dangerous in straight but he didn't have much room and was not fully tested. |
| 11 | 8 | ALL FIT (CD065) | G Schofield | CP | Always a bit wide about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace in midfield down the back, 3-wide without cover on the circle and 3-wide turning for home, no impression. |
| 12 | 3 | SPEEDY EXPRESS (CB365) | G Mosse | B | 2-wide and 2Ls down in 3rd early on, 4Ls down in 5th on straightening, faded out gradually. |
