| 2 | 8 | MANIFEST (CC048) | C Williams | TT2 | Always close up, 2-wide and 1L down in 3rd at 600 M, 1L down in 2nd at home turn, ran on well but had no chance with winner. |
| 3 | 2 | AMO (CB125) | G Schofield | -- | Under pressure when 6Ls behind in 11th on fence at 700 M, 4Ls down in midfield off home turn, ran on well to nick a place on the line. |
| 4 | 7 | GOLDEN FARM (CA069) | R Fradd | B | Away well but couldn't lead, 1L down in 2nd on fence at 600 M, 2Ls behind in 3rd at final bend, kept on at same pace and lost out on a place final strides. |
| 5 | 3 | HELENE ELEGANCE (CB004) | B Prebble | B/TT | 4-wide no cover at 700 M when 2Ls off speed in mid-division, gained cover from 600 M to entrance of home straight when 3-wide under pressure and 2Ls down in 4th, one-paced thereafter. |
| 6 | 4 | CARELESS WHISPER (CE123) | G Mosse | -- | On fence and about 2Ls behind in midfield until 600 M, hung out on circle and 2Ls down in 5th and 2-wide entering straight with place prospects, always held by principals. |
| 7 | 6 | ABLE EAGLE (CB443) | S K Sit | -- | Best away, unbalanced at 800 M when 1L down in 4th, 4Ls behind in 9th when 2-wide off home turn, never threatened. |
