| 1 | 1 | HANDSOME ZULU (M024) | T H So | B | Crossed to the lead 1400M then slowed things down in middle stages, stepped up tempo 600M and kicked 3Ls clear turning in, continued on well to 100M, faded late but hung on. |
| 2 | 8 | HAPPY GUYS (L275) | H W Lai | B | Settled one out one back, pushed along to chase breakaway leader passing 600M, stayed on and made a late surge inside 100M, just denied. |

| 4 | 9 | OSVALDO (CK075) | Z Purton | B | Held up near last and used little in early and middle stages, had almost 10Ls to make up passing 400M, finished well and fared best of those who came from off the pace. |

| 9 | 2 | FULFIL A WISH (L235) | D Whyte | -- | Along the fence in mid-division, travelled only fairly passing halfway, switched out into clear inside 300M, didn't pick up. |
| 10 | 7 | JAMESINA (CH290) | T Clark | B/TT | Behind midfield early stages, was pushed to 3-wide spot without over near 1200M, raced keenly down the back straight and had little left turning for home. |
