| 1 | 9 | PLAYA DEL PUENTE (C492) | J Moreira | SR/TT | Began well, strode forward to lead after start. Increased speed in 3rd section, continuing in lead, broke away with one challenger near turn. Sprinted away from challengers inside final 250m & was soft on line. Dominant. |
| 2 | 5 | HAPPY DRAGON (B099) | M Chadwick | H | Strode forward, nice run on leaders back throughout. Continued in 3rd before dropping a length further behind as speed quickened near corner. Finished strongly in straight to snare second, well behind dominant winner. |
| 3 | 2 | NOT USUAL TALENT (C095) | Z Purton | -- | Strode forward raced second on the outside, at the flanks of leader. Continued in second before racing clear of remainder of field with leader nearing the turn. Couldn't go with dominant winner in final 250m but held third. |
| 4 | 1 | HELENE CHARISMA (A129) | G van Niekerk | B/TT | Raced in midfield away from rail, 3.5 lengths from lead at half-way. Drifted a length further back from lead entering final section as leaders kicked clear. Maintained margin in dash to line in race not run to suit. |
| 5 | 8 | BRAVE LEGEND (A260) | A Domeyer | B/TT | Shifted across to the rail shortly after the start, racing in midfield, three lengths from lead after first section. Drifted a length further back from lead entering final section. Weakened out in final 250m, well held. |
| 6 | 3 | RUTHVEN (B160) | R Bayliss | H/TT | Steadied after the first 150m and shifted back to second last away from rail. Moved three wide approaching the 450m to improve before entering final section six lengths from lead. Couldn't make any headway in the straight. |
| 7 | 7 | GOOD OMEN (B208) | A Sanna | CP | Steadied after the start and shifted across to race at the tail of the field. Was a clear last on cornering, over 7 lengths from lead and was never likely from that position given sectional times and race shape. Not a factor. |
| 8 | 4 | MR SO AND SO (B412) | K Teetan | TT | Steadied in early stages and shifted behind runners to race third from last on rail. Stayed close to the inside on cornering when six lengths from lead before yielding further ground in the straight, beaten over 10 lengths. |
| 9 | 6 | JOYFUL TRINITY (V110) | N Callan | -- | Enjoyed good run away from rail, one pair behind the leaders. Came under heavy pressure approaching the 450m & dropped out of contention from that point, finishing a long last. (Irregular heart rhythm – must trial). |
