Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | ARMADA (CE246) | D Whyte | -- | Jumped nicely, put in prominent spot from the outset, travelled well 2 wide 2Ls behind pace, tracked nicely on bend, let down with a powerful sprint at 300 M to claim them easily, went on to score comfortably in fast time. |
| 2 | 10 | HELLO PRETTY (CE210) | F Coetzee | TT | Shade tardy to begin, re-gathered to hold a spot in front of midfield 3Ls back on rails, enjoyed a quiet run tracking eventual winner to turn, eased out and chased hard but beaten by a better horse on the day. |
| 3 | 3 | VIVA PATACA (CG096) | C Soumillon | -- | Standard break, settled worse than midfield 6 to 7Ls off the pace in a 2 wide role, relaxed nicely and tracked well making a 3 wide run on turning, cut back to inside and closed off nicely just unable to catch first two. |
| 4 | 2 | BULLISH LUCK (CC155) | B Prebble | B/XB | Began with them but soon restrained to take up usual role towards rear, raced in 2 wide spot 8Ls off pace, not asked throughout and made 4 wide run on bend, made up plenty of ground down middle to make frame. |
| 5 | 1 | VENGEANCE OF RAIN (CD142) | A Delpech | TT | Moderate beginning, urged along to take up spot 3 to 4Ls back in running line, had easy trip in mid-section, back in traffic on bend, didn't sprint when they dashed turning in but got going late to be nearest on line. |
| 6 | 4 | THE DUKE (CB282) | O Doleuze | -- | Jumped reasonably, pressed on to lead early but handed up when pressured after 400 M, trailed leader thereafter and eased outside to challenge on turning, hit lead at 300 M but didn't show usual fight and only had 1 speed in finish. |
| 7 | 6 | JOYFUL WINNER (CE045) | D Beadman | TT | Began with rest but immediately restrained to rear from a wide alley, lobbed along at tail 10Ls from them throughout, still well back to bend, made run between horses and finished off evenly giving too great a start. |
| 8 | 11 | AIN'T HERE (CC288) | G Mosse | -- | Even break, settled down in midfield 5Ls back in running line, improved on bend with a 3 wide run and came 4 wide into straight, lacked a dash but kept coming before run ended at the 200 M. |
| 9 | 9 | HELENE PILLAGING (CC084) | D Nikolic | TT | First to hit ground, engaged in speed battle and took over after 400 M, kept them rolling at a reasonable speed, held a 1/2Ls advantage on turning, couldn't find when pressure was applied and dropped out when early effort took effect. |
| 10 | 12 | DAVE'S BEST (CC060) | M Nunes | -- | Out with field, forced to restrain to near rear but unable to get in and raced 3 wide at rear 10Ls back throughout, well back and came 5 wide on bend, didn't make much impression in run to line. |
| 11 | 7 | ART TRADER (CE131) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Ordinary to begin, improved to hold down spot on rails 6 to 7Ls off pace, had an easy time throughout, saved ground on rails to bend, didn't finish off as normally would and plodded to line. (Mucopus.) |
| 12 | 13 | HAPPEE OWNER (CE230) | A Starke | TT | Jumped nicely, rolled on in search of closer spot, posted 3 wide without cover 3 to 4Ls back when unable to get in, always doing share of work, wide to bend, couldn't respond in straight and just battled away from 200 M. |
| 13 | 8 | BOWMAN'S CROSSING (CB138) | S Dye | SR-/B1 | Out with field, lacked early initiative and soon in rearward division, raced on rails 8 to 9Ls away throughout, had easy time but had field to beat on bend, found little in straight and just plodded away for a sub par effort. |
