Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | INSPIRATION (CG111) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Settled midfield 4Ls from pace at the 800 M, closer and 3-wide off last bend and led 150 M out, kept on digging deep to score. |
| 2 | 6 | GREEN BIRDIE (CH245) | O Doleuze | -- | 6Ls off pace on fence in 10th at 800 M, closer and going well turning in, pulled out wide to challenge at 300 M, couldn't quite get past the winner. |
| 3 | 1 | APACHE CAT (CK625) | C Brown | B | Within 2Ls or 3Ls of the pace in midfield through to final section, looked held 250 M out but ran on again well inside final 100 M to place. |
| 4 | 4 | ENTHUSED (CH303) | D Whyte | -- | Caught wide early on but pressed on to be race 2nd out 2-wide from 800 M to home turn, briefly lead at 200 M but tipped out of a place in final 150 M. |
| 5 | 5 | SUNNY POWER (CG203) | B Prebble | -- | Went back from a wide gate, 7Ls down in 11th at 800 M, 5Ls behind off final bend, stayed on strongly along the rails to be nearest at the finish. |
| 6 | 2 | MARCHAND D'OR (CJ601) | D Bonilla | -- | Niggled along when 3-back on rails in midfield about 5Ls off pace at the 800 M, improved to be 2Ls back at the 300 M, couldn't sustain the effort. |
| 7 | 3 | MYTHICAL FLIGHT (CK626) | K Shea | SR | Led by 1L on fence early on, a neck to the good turning in, headed at the 200 M and one-paced to wind up. |
| 8 | 7 | LAUREL GUERREIRO (CK630) | H Shii | CP/TT | Raced close-up, 2Ls back in 4th at 800 M, had every chance to top of home straight but swamped by the final 200 M. |
| 9 | 11 | TOSHO COURAGE (CK633) | K Ikezoe | H | Went back from wide gate, 7Ls back at 800 M, always chasing the majority of the field. |
| 10 | 9 | ABBADJINN (CK629) | T Hellier | -- | Never any better than midfield, 6Ls down at the 800 M and 4Ls down turning for home, couldn't match the principals for speed. |
| 11 | 13 | NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) | G Mosse | -- | Never in the hunt, 10Ls last early on and only made minor late ground in the straight. |
| 12 | 10 | MOORHOUSE LAD (CK631) | J Crowley | -- | Good early pace to box-seat within 1L or 2Ls of the speed in 3rd or 4th until home straight, quickly dropped away when tempo increased. |
| 13 | 8 | WAIKATO (CK628) | J Saimee | B | Tried press forward but checked at 800 M, very wide without cover on the circle, didn't handle right-handed circuit well at all, without any hope in final 300 M. |
