| 1 | 3 | MEATH (CE143) | D Whyte | SR/V | Travelled nicely in 4th or 5th position. 2 to 3Ls back from 1300 M. Ran on determinedly in straight and got up in the closing stages. |
| 2 | 6 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | O Doleuze | B | Led to passing winning post first time before sitting behind the leader 1300 M out. Shifted out for running 200 M out and ran on well but the post came a fraction too soon. |
| 3 | 2 | EVER KING (CE147) | B Prebble | B1/TT | Around midfield about 3Ls behind the pace in 6th or 7th place. Shifted out to avoid heels at 1000 M. Ran on well final 200 M to grab 3rd in a tight finish. |

| 12 | 9 | BEST CHOICE (CE038) | S Dye | B | Proved very difficult to settle at the rear in an attempt to be ridden quietly. Checked at 1600 M. Last 800 M out and not a factor thereafter. (See Racing Incidents.) |
