| 1 | 7 | MARIACHI (CH190) | D Beadman | SR/TT | Just behind the pace in the early stages. Slipped back after 1200 M and was in rear section making the turn. Found a run towards the inside on straightening and made a strong rally to chase down rival final 100 M and score easily. |
| 2 | 1 | BULLISH WIN (CH197) | Y T Cheng | TT | Disputed lead before settling behind the pace 1000 M out. A length off turning for home and was in a 3-way battle for the lead 200 M out. Continued well in the final stages but unable to match strides with winner. |
| 3 | 8 | RED RULER (CH198) | B Prebble | CP1 | Led briefly from widest draw. Took a sit near 1000 M and kept within 2Ls of the pace until home straight. Regained lead 250 M out but was soon headed by top-pair. |
