| 1 | 1 | EISHIN PRESTON (CB616) | Y Fukunaga | H/TT | Settled 2-wide and 3Ls or 4Ls off the pace from 1600 M out to 600 M out, 3-wide into home straight when 3Ls down, 1L down 200 M out, led about 100 M out, pushed out to draw clear. |
| 2 | 13 | ELEGANT FASHION (CC190) | G Mosse | -- | Always 3-wide without cover and 2Ls or 3Ls off pace until the home straight, still 2Ls down at the 200 M, kept on well to take 2nd close home but had no chance with the winner. |
| 3 | 2 | PAOLINI (CC628) | E Pedroza | B | 2-wide and 2Ls off the speed 1600 M out, tended to over-race down the back straight, 1L down 800 M out, disputing lead entering straight, led 300 M out, headed 100 M out, lost 2nd place 50 M out. |
| 4 | 10 | RIVER DANCER (CC109) | R Fradd | -- | 2-wide and 5Ls off the pace from 1600 M to 800 M out when steadied off heels, 4Ls down and travelling well into stretch, 3Ls down at the 200 M, kept on well to be nearest at the finish. |
| 5 | 8 | RED PEPPER (CA196) | G Schofield | -- | Caught 3-wide without cover 1700 M out, found cover down backstretch 3-wide and about 4Ls off the speed, 4-wide and 3Ls down into home straight, just over 2Ls down 200 M out, no extra. |
| 6 | 5 | HOUSEMASTER (BV115) | W C Marwing | SR | On fence and 6Ls off pace about 1600 M out when checked twice, unbalanced when 5Ls down 800 M out, 2-wide and 5Ls down into home straight, stayed on well to be nearest at finish. |
| 7 | 9 | SELF FLIT (CB322) | W M Lai | B | Led by 1L on fence 1600 M out, never much more than 2Ls clear down back straight, joined by PAOLINI entering straight, headed 300 M out, no extra and one-paced to line. |
| 8 | 11 | GIFT (CB246) | S Dye | -- | 2-wide and 7Ls off the pace 1600 M out, 6Ls down at the 800 M, still 6Ls down in rear off home turn, made some moderate late headway. |
| 9 | 12 | VISORHILL (CB254) | F Coetzee | -- | Awkwardly away, checked when in rear out 2-wide and 8Ls off the pace 1600 M out, 7Ls down and 2-wide in rear 800 M out, 3-wide into home straight, ran on okay to be nearest at the finish. |
| 10 | 3 | PRECISION (CA209) | D Whyte | SR | 3-wide and 7Ls off pace 1600 M out, 3-wide with cover and 5Ls off pace at the 800 M, no better off and under pressure into home straight, no impression. |
| 11 | 6 | HELENE VITALITY (CA030) | D Dunn | B2 | Driven from gates but couldn't lead, about 4Ls off pace 1600 M out on fence, tended to over-race in places, driven along 600 M out when 5Ls down, much too one-paced in straight. |
| 12 | 7 | COME SEE YOU (CA368) | C Williams | -- | Briefly led very early on, settled to take the run of the race on fence 2Ls off the speed 1600 M out, under pressure to lie up with the quickening pace entering straight, faded out. |
