| 1 | 5 | SPARKLING DRAGON (B033) | A Domeyer | TT | Niggled along wide in midfield, taken slightly back for cover at the 900 metres, remained in similar position into straight, responded well to just get up on line. |
| 2 | 6 | BUOYANT BOY (A317) | Z Purton | TT | Settled in midfield on the rail, switched out to challenge entering home straight, hit the front 100 metres out only to be caught close to home. |
| 3 | 4 | MAGIC LEGEND (A170) | G van Niekerk | CP | Very wide in midfield early stages, taken back to the rear after the 1000-metre bend, commenced move entering home straight, finished strongly down the centre of the track to fail narrowly. |
| 4 | 1 | JOYFUL UNION (C232) | M L Yeung | -- | Settled in last few, saved ground turning in, ran on well inside final 200 metres to be nearest at finish. |
| 5 | 12 | SHINING ACE (C229) | J Moreira | B | Ridden from a moderate start before settling 3-wide in 4th over 2L back, commenced move rounding home bend, fought on steadily under pressure without threatening. |

| 8 | 11 | JUMBO PRIZE (C283) | U Rispoli | -- | Shared pace 2-wide most of the way, gained slender lead rounding home bend and held the same into straight, unable to sustain effort and swamped under pressure inside final 100 metres. |
