| 1 | 11 | OSVALDO (CK075) | M Chadwick | B | Restrained to a rearward position, switched to 3-wide entering back straight, came with a sweeping run around the field inside 400M, hit top gear mid-straight and caught leader in the shadow of the post. |
| 2 | 7 | HAPPY GUYS (L275) | Z Purton | B | Positively ridden, tracked leader in 2nd, took over coming out of the final bend, quickened well and drew readily clear inside 150M, looked certain to win only to be caught last few strides. |
| 3 | 1 | ZAIDAN (M234) | D Beadman | CP | Settled in midfield, travelled smoothly to straight, stayed on well. |
| 4 | 12 | HEAR THE ROAR (M152) | T Clark | -- | Never far off from leaders, loomed a serious threat passing 400M but couldn't find the extra to seriously challenge, kept on one-paced to line. |
| 5 | 9 | THE UNTOUCHABLELAD (CK398) | M Guyon | B | Dropped back to near last, pushed along nearing 450M, made some headway from off the pace but was never a serious threat. |
| 6 | 10 | EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) | M Barzalona | H/CP/TT | Positioned 2-wide in midfield, raced a shade keen early stages, angled out into clear near 250M, ran on fairly and not getting to the leaders. |
| 7 | 3 | HAPPY TUMBLER (L048) | B Prebble | XB | Settled behind midfield 5Ls away, shuffled back to near last approaching home straight, stayed on fairly once getting a clear run inside 250M. (Jockey questioned re his riding early straight.) |
| 8 | 8 | STRAIGHT FORWARD (L100) | G Mosse | B-/SR1 | Towards the rear, raced 3-wide for most of the way, took closer order passing halfway, not quickened when placed under pressure, no impression. |
| 9 | 6 | SOVIET PEARL (CK187) | K C Leung | TT | Given a waiting ride, 6-7Ls off the pace near the tail of the field, last into straight, ran past well beaten horses only. |
| 10 | 2 | FORTUNE RED PEPPER (CK199) | J Lloyd | H | Raced keenly, crossed to the lead passing 1200M and took them along steadily, headed soon after turning in, found little under pressure and weakened badly final stages. |
| 11 | 5 | MARK UP (CK247) | O Doleuze | B- | Held up in midfield, raced 3-wide and left without cover from 1200M, strode closer to leaders making the home turn but weakened soon after straightening. |
| 12 | 4 | FULFIL A WISH (L235) | D Whyte | -- | Crossed to the rail before first turn, tracked leader one back, went for an inside gap but was badly crowded for room near 200M, eased final 150M. |
