| 1 | 7 | PRETTY ONE (L418) | B Prebble | TT | Settled nicely in midfield before making headway to challenge leaders passing 350M, powered clear final 150M to win with possibly something in hand. |
| 2 | 3 | HAPPY REUNION (CK163) | T Clark | B2/TT | Behind midfield 4Ls off the pace, finished well final 400M despite hanging in but was no match for the classy-looking winner. |

| 4 | 6 | NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) | H W Lai | -- | Urged along after the start to settle in the group chasing the leaders, quickened well in straight and came to have every chance, turned one pace final 100M and lost 2nd place close home. |
| 5 | 2 | SHINING VICTORY (L163) | D Whyte | B/TT | Along the fence behind midfield, under urdge halfway round the turn, brief effort turning in, flattened out nearing 100M. |

| 8 | 1 | EL MORRO (CK344) | C Y Ho | H | Chased the pace, kept on to mid-straight and couldn't sustain his effort thereafter, eased 100M out. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 9 | 5 | EL ZONDA (CK132) | J Lloyd | TT | Dropped back to a rearward position about 5Ls off the pace, attempted to make his run up the inside but was badly held up by a beaten runner, out of contention already when clear inside 150M. |
