| 1 | 7 | ALGARVE (CK239) | B Prebble | -- | No early speed, ended up back with last few 8Ls or so from top end, improved on bend, let down strongly making many lengths from rear to overhaul them and win comfortably. |
| 2 | 12 | SAPELLI (CK191) | J Lloyd | -- | Took up ideal spot 1 out 1 back, 3Ls or so away on bend, chased leader from 350 M and went with eventual winner but just outlasted final 100 M. |
| 3 | 10 | NAPA II (CJ248) | O Doleuze | -- | Drifted back from an awkward alley, well back 9 to 10Ls from leaders, still plenty to do on bend, made many lengths in straight. |

| 5 | 5 | TOY STORY (CJ217) | W C Marwing | B | Even jump, settled 3 to 4Ls back on fence, had a soft trip to bend, into clear turning, didn't dash from 300 M and just plugged away to line. |
| 6 | 13 | SILVER BLAZE (CJ149) | S K Sit | H | Out with them, struck heels as field settled, forced to race 3 wide without cover, did share of work to bend, didn't find much and weakened out. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 7 | 2 | JOHNSON (CJ305) | K C Leung | B | Went forward to settle on speed, raced first without cover 1 to 2Ls back, did a bit of work tracking leader, couldn't turn up a notch from bend and just battled in straight. |
