| 1 | 1 | JUNKO (J816) | M Guyon | -- | Slow to begin, raced rearward & continued three wide with cover in the middle stages. Shifted out to be the widest runner on straightening, finished strongly down the outside to take lead at the 175m & go on to win well. |
| 2 | 3 | ZEFFIRO (J817) | D Lane | -- | Got back after the start to race second last along the rail. Came off the rail passing 650m, was briefly held up near the 400m when only 2L behind, closed well between runners to move to second at the 125m, clear of third. |
| 3 | 9 | WARM HEART (J821) | R Moore | -- | Raced second away from rail. Moved up to share lead from the 800m, took the outright lead before straightening, raced a length clear at the 300m before being passed by winner near 175m. Held well beaten third on line. |

| 5 | 2 | SENOR TOBA (G103) | C Y Ho | TT | Raced rearward between runners for the majority. Continued last, raced tight between rivals passing the 550m, was only 2.5L from the lead entering last section before finishing only fairly to midfield late. |
