| 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 (CL275) | 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. |

| 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. |
