| 1 | 12 | TIBER (CD155) | Y T Cheng | XB/TT | Broke well from widest draw, gradually settling in 1 out 1 back position. Came to challenge under pressure over 200 M out and hit front at 150 M. Fought on well to the line. |
| 2 | 10 | POCKET MONEY (CE253) | F Coetzee | B | Checked and lost position passing 1200 M. Travelled in last few to straight. Not much room early on before finishing off race strongly inside final 200 M to miss narrowly. |
| 3 | 1 | THE DUKE (CB282) | W M Lai | -- | Settled in 4th within 3Ls of pace. Just 2Ls off turning in. Fought on steadily without threatening. |
| 4 | 4 | EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Close up early. Soon took up running, cocking his jaw as usual. Led the field around home bend and into straight but failed to quicken to resist winner's challenge inside 200 M. |
| 5 | 2 | ABLE ONE (CG108) | Z Purton | -- | Settled on rails in midfield. In 6th about 3Ls off turning in. No clear passage early in straight. Kept on well to finish. |
