| 1 | 5 | GUY DRAGON (B377) | Z Purton | XB/TT | Reserved in mid-division 4-5Ls away, picked up gradually on straightening, kept coming final stages, wore down leader 50M to score on his 1st start at the Valley. |
| 2 | 11 | FIRST RESPONDER (C205) | C Y Ho | B | Settled down midfield, wide no cover from 700M, responded well to pressure final 300M, went 2nd just before line. |
| 3 | 10 | CANTSTOPTHEFEELING (C432) | A Badel | B/TT | From a wide draw left racing wide without cover early stages, improved to take lead near 600M, kept on well under pressure in straight until headed final 50M. |

| 11 | 1 | FANTASY (D100) | J Moreira | B/TT | Failed to muster speed despite ridden, raced further back than intended 5-6Ls from leader, couldn't finish off in the straight (Jockey : never travelled and made abnormal breathing noise throughout.) |
