| 1 | 2 | BLIZZARD (S398) | K Teetan | -- | Dropped back early from the wide gate and stuck at the rear of the field, 4 wide with cover. Came widest on the turn, and produced a massive effort to run down 2nd in the last 25m. |
| 2 | 4 | THEWIZARDOFOZ (T251) | J Moreira | B | Began well from the inside draw, and pushed up to be handily placed in 4th, on the rails. Held the rail in the run home, and easily burnt off the majority of the field. Lead until 25m, and only beaten by a huge run. |

| 4 | 5 | HIGH AND MIGHTY (S362) | B Prebble | H1/XB1/TT- | Began well, but elected to sit back early and take a position midfield, 1 off the fence. Came wider on the turn for a clear run, and finished off well, hotly chasing 3rd late. |
| 5 | 13 | SICHUAN DAR (T375) | C Y Ho | TT1 | Taken back early to sit in his familiar position at the rear of the field, on the fence. Nearly last on the turn, but ran on well late to finish in the first five. |

| 8 | 8 | AMBER DRAGON (P229) | K C Leung | TT | Began well and taken forward to a handy position, 1 off the fence. Stayed close to the rail in the straight, but only ran on fairly and faded late. |

| 10 | 9 | GOLDEN SLEEP (T117) | R Fourie | -- | Began OK and took a position just forward of midfield 3-4 wide with no cover. Well positioned on the turn, but had nothing left for the run home and faded out in the straight. |
| 11 | 3 | FULL TALENT (P446) | D Whyte | CP/TT | Angled in from the wide draw to be placed midfield, 4-5 wide with limited cover. No luck early in the straight, but didn't run on when clear. Faded and lay out slightly late. |
