1 | 4 | SAPELLI (CK191) | D Whyte | -- | Ordinary jump, positioned 8Ls back in running line, helped by solid tempo, plenty to achieve on bend, motored down middle picking up rivals in final 150 M to score a solid win. |
2 | 10 | ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Reasonable break, angled into midfield 5Ls off solid tempo, had easy time to home bend, produced a strong close to push winner right to wire. |
3 | 5 | VAUGIRARD (CK347) | B Prebble | B | Out in line, camped behind pace group, enjoyed a good trail 3 to 4Ls back, loomed full of running on turning, couldn't fight back inside 200 M but kept on well for a clear 3rd. |
4 | 1 | MAELSTROM (CK370) | O Doleuze | -- | Bounced well, ended up in ideal spot 1 out 1 back, did some work close to decent speed, challenged turning in, battled away evenly to make frame once headed inside 250 M. |
5 | 3 | TAKEANOTHERCHANCE (CL006) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Restrained from a wide gate, soon at rear 12Ls off pace, well back to bend, made many lengths in straight and continued to close despite being steadied at 150 M. |
6 | 12 | LUCKY EMPEROR (CK407) | H W Lai | B1 | Faded back soon after break, raced behind midfield 6 to 7Ls off speed, helped by tempo, well back turning, made some late ground to be nearest on line. |
7 | 14 | CHINA WIN (CJ147) | C W Wong | B | Slow to begin, in rear division, 9 to 10Ls from leaders, saved ground on circle, made some minor headway without threatening. |
8 | 8 | SEA PRINCE (CJ245) | D Beadman | H | Began with rest, sat in midfield 6Ls back on rails, aided by tempo and saved ground on circle, shifted out to offer something but came up with little and just battled late. |
9 | 7 | EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) | Z Purton | B | Well enough to break slotted in behind leader, did a bit of work on strong speed, 1L down turning, gradually weakened from 300 M. |

11 | 13 | MR VIGOROUS (CL189) | T H So | -- | Showed good speed, took front but did share of work with pressure from outside horses headed soon after turning in, weakened out badly. |
12 | 2 | ROCKET POWER (CH136) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Didn't muster early and failed back to share rear, got further behind despite urging, pushed up on bend, made some late ground from impossible spot in straight. (See Racing Incidents.) |
13 | 9 | SUPER SPIRIT (CK106) | S Dye | B/TT | Pressed on from an awkward draw, posted 3 wide without cover in 3 way speed battle, struggling turning in, folded tamely. |
