| 2 | 5 | IDOL (BV313) | C Williams | -- | Soon led, never clear by much more than 2Ls, still just over 1L to the good off home turn and 200 M out, grabbed by winner final 20 M, game effort. |
| 3 | 6 | CARACOLER (CA365) | D Dunn | SR | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls or 3Ls off pace from 1600 M out to home straight, battled on well in straight but could never get to the front pair. |
| 4 | 8 | SNOWSTORM (CB255) | S Dye | B | Always about 2Ls off pace and 2-wide without cover in 2nd place through to home straight, all out at the 200 M and headed by winner, one-paced closing stages. |
