Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | CALIFORNIA MEMORY (L135) | M Chadwick | -- | Broke well, restrained to race in midfield, quickened up smartly passing 350M, led inside 200M, went nicely clear and eased towards the finish. |
| 2 | 13 | GIOFRA (P617) | C Soumillon | XB/TT | Held up at the rear, moved closer passing halfway, stayed on strongly final 400 to chase winner, nearest finish. |
| 3 | 4 | ALCOPOP (P613) | C Williams | -- | Slow to begin, ended up at the rear 7Ls off the slow pace that may not have been suited, picked up well inside 400M making steady progress along the fence, got up for 3rd just before the line. |
| 4 | 8 | DAN EXCEL (N195) | N Callan | H-/SR/XB/TT1 | Went forward and led uncontested from 1500M, pressed by rival passing 1000M, gave all in straight, headed inside 200M, weakened to 4th. |
| 5 | 9 | MILITARY ATTACK (N175) | B Prebble | H/SR | Dropped back to the rear, raced 3-wide for much of the way, finished off reasonably well to take 5th near the line. Creditable effort. |

| 7 | 7 | ZAIDAN (M234) | J McDonald | -- | Quickly crossed to the rail, tracked leader from 1500M, shifted out to challenge 600M but could only keep on same pace under pressure. |
| 8 | 6 | IRIAN (L187) | G Mosse | H | Towards the rear, caught racing 3-wide without cover for much of the way, moved closer to pace from 1100M, found little in straight. |
| 9 | 12 | AUTUMN GOLD (P044) | D Whyte | -- | Settled 2-wide in 3rd, had no cover until passing 900M, failed to quicken when the race got serious, never able to challenge. |
| 10 | 10 | SAONOIS (P615) | A Hamelin | -- | Held up behind midfield, difficult to settle, not quickened inside 400M, never threatened. |
| 11 | 11 | FEUERBLITZ (P616) | M Guyon | -- | Held up midfield, not suited by the pace, strode forward to press leader passing 1000M, all out inside 400M, soon outpaced and weakened. |
