| 1 | 3 | GOOD WORDS (L371) | M Chadwick | TT | Soon guided to 2nd place about 3Ls behind the pace, picked up gradually on straightening and got past the long time leader close home. |
| 2 | 7 | ROMANTIC CITY (L023) | Z Purton | -- | Sped off to a clear lead after the start, kept on well in straight but got tired in late stages losing 1st place near finish. |
| 3 | 2 | BEST WIN (L212) | B Doyle | H1 | Taken back on jumping and settled in last 10Ls off the strong pace, shaken up passing 600M, gradually responded to riding and finished fastest of all inside 200M. Never nearer. |

| 6 | 6 | LUCKY FOLLOW ME (L070) | O Doleuze | SR | Settled behind midfield, into clear 400M, made a short-lived effort turning one paced inside 150M. |
| 7 | 4 | GILDED FLIGHT (CH294) | C Y Ho | -- | Settled near rear under a patient ride, made some progress from off the pace but never seriously threatened. |
