| 2 | 9 | MAGNIFIER (CA139) | C Williams | B | Slowly away, in rear bunch no better than 6Ls off speed until home straight, no chance with winner but still picked up very well to go 2nd at the 100 M, stayed on. |
| 3 | 12 | SUMMERLAND (CD074) | G Schofield | TT | With cover within 4Ls of lead in midfield until 800 M and caught 3-wide no cover until home straight when 2Ls down in 5th, all out to be a neck down in 2nd at 200 M, no extra. |
| 4 | 1 | SUPER KID (CC305) | M Rodd | -- | About 5Ls off pace in midfield down backstretch, 3Ls behind in mid-division off home turn, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, failed to sustain effort late. |
| 5 | 6 | SATURN (CD154) | C Brown | P/H | Lost ground at start, 2-wide and 3Ls down in 5th at 1000 M, short of room entering straight when still 3Ls down in 5th, bumped when switched out at 200 M, always held. |
| 6 | 5 | PALETTE NATURAL (CB284) | A Delpech | -- | Towards rear on fence about 8Ls off pace until the 800 M, niggled along to take close order on circle, making a little late ground when steadied at 300 M, no danger late. |
| 7 | 2 | RED PEPPER (CA196) | P H Lo | -- | Worse than midfield at least 6Ls off pace until 600 M out, improved to be 3Ls down in midfield at 200 M, weakened close home. |

| 10 | 7 | GRAND ZULU (CE057) | B Prebble | B2 | 4-wide without cover on pace early, pressed on to lead by a neck out 2-wide at 800 M, disputing lead entering stretch, beaten over 200 M out. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 11 | 14 | SUPREME RABBIT (CC173) | Y T Cheng | TT | Slow away, 4-wide without cover at 1200 M when 7Ls off pace towards rear, 6Ls off pace and 5-wide off final bend, hanging out when bumped at 300 M, never dangerous. |
| 12 | 11 | STAY YOUNG (CD109) | H W Lai | B | Had the run of the race on fence about 2Ls off pace in 4th or so until 800 M when bumping rail, still well there entering straight, soon beaten. |
