Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | LION ROCK (CA224) | W C Marwing | -- | Broke best, prominent. Asked to go after straightening, took narrow lead at 150 M and fought on courageously to defy challengers final stages to win narrowly. |
| 2 | 9 | SCENIC STAR (BS247) | F Coetzee | -- | In touch. Saved ground along the rail making the home bend. Ran on well in straight to miss it narrowly in a 4-way finish. |
| 3 | 10 | UTMOST EASY (CA106) | D Whyte | -- | Settled worse than midfield. Made up good ground after clear 300 M out to be nearest at finish. |
| 4 | 3 | EARL GREY (CA251) | S King | B | Missed the start, then inconvenienced and at back. Taken to the outside after straightening to make up good ground to be closest at finish. |
| 5 | 4 | REFRESHINGLY (BV203) | S Dye | P- | Soon settled at back. Steadied and shifted in to find running about the 300 M, made some late impression. |
| 6 | 1 | REAL GOOD (BT093) | D Dunn | B | Jumped fairly, pushed to lead. Headed after 200 M, steadily weakened. |
