1 | 7 | WHO ELSE BUT YOU (T341) | N Rawiller | H | Flew out of the gates from widest draw but forced to race 3-wide until settling one-out 1L from leader 1000m. Hard ridden in straight, making up ground gradually to nail leader on line. |
2 | 2 | HARBOUR ALERT (T254) | S Clipperton | CP | Broke well, shared early pace before forging ahead 1000m. Set hot pace to straight, still well clear 100m, run down on line. |
3 | 3 | WONDERFUL FIGHTER (S422) | C Schofield | -- | Quickly away, racing in midfield one-away from rail. Taken wide in straight and finished strongly to grab minor placing. |
4 | 6 | TRIUMPHANT JEWEL (P310) | H T Mo | B/TT | Hard ridden on jumping but failed to muster, settling behind midfield along rail. Stayed well back to straight before finishing strongly along rail to just miss a placing. |
5 | 5 | JOLLY CONVERGENCE (V293) | M Chadwick | TT | Away well, taken to rail 3L from leader and settled. Took inside run in straight and finished off nicely but got close to heels final stages and not ridden out. |
6 | 11 | GENEROUS HEART (V394) | K C Leung | H/V/XB | Good early speed, taken to box seat and tracked leader to straight. Lay in home turn, brushing rail, boxed on gamely in straight to finish close behind place-getters. |

8 | 9 | GRACE HEART (S399) | K Teetan | -- | Unbalanced start, no speed, dropping one-out towards rear. Well back at turn, taken wide entering straight, ran on fairly. (Lame left front leg). |
9 | 8 | DOLLAR REWARD (A305) | A Badel | B/TT | Jumped well, pressed forward, steadied off heels 1000m before settling one-out, one-back. Moved up to challenge entering straight but only one-paced. |
