1 | 12 | TURBO KING (CL320) | B Prebble | -- | Within striking distance, moved up alongside leader nearing 400M, went head to head with that rival final 300M, gained upper hand nearing 50M and won decisively. |
2 | 2 | ROMANTIC CITY (CL023) | Z Purton | -- | Sped to the front and led at a solid pace under restraint, was taken on passing 400M, dueled with the winner for 300M in straight, flattened nearing 50M while clear of the rest. |
3 | 8 | CHATER MIKADO (M100) | D Whyte | -- | Settled in mid-division well covered, finished off well to claim 3rd but posed little threat to first two which drew clear. |

5 | 7 | CHEVALIER KING (CK289) | D Beadman | H | Restrained to a 2-wide position behind midfield, difficult to settle down the back straight, taken widest in straight and stayed on. (Jockey and Trainer questioned re riding position.) |
