1 | 5 | VAUGIRARD (CK347) | C Y Ho | B | Hard ridden early along the fence to occupy the prominent spot 1200M out. Ran on steadily top of home straight and came with a strong challenge passing 200M. Asserted authority final 50M. |
2 | 2 | HUSSLER (CJ323) | D Whyte | B | Quickly into stride and rolled to sit one-off the fence behind the leader from 1200M. Chased strongly and looked possible to score final 150M until the winner made a sweeping run final stages. |
3 | 11 | EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) | D Beadman | B | Shaken up after start to lead on fence from 1300M. Held a 1L advantage turning in. Outrun by the front pair final 100M. |

5 | 3 | JOYFUL WINNER (CE045) | O Doleuze | -- | Away in line. Eased to sit 2-wide behind midfield passing 1200M. Gradually moved to 5-wide and was 4Ls down rounding home turn. Made some headway without threatening the principals. |
6 | 7 | OUTDOOR PEGASUS (CL173) | B Prebble | -- | Began awkwardly. Driven to race 3-wide at midfield 1200M out. Commenced run and was 3Ls off approaching home straight. Looked dangerous at 300M but couldn't sustain effort final 150M. |
