| 1 | 1 | GOOD TENSION (BL191) | D Oliver | -- | Waited with. Commenced move passing 500 M obtaining good rails run to reach mid-division entering straight. Ran home strongly under pressure to snatch victory final strides. |
| 2 | 10 | ELLEN'S VOYAGE (BJ132) | B Marcus | -- | Always prominent. Came to challenge under pressure home bend, gaining slender advantage over 200 M out but grabbed by fast-finishing winner near line. |
| 3 | 11 | MAKE MY DAY (BG257) | P Robinson | -- | Attempted to make all. Led until narrowly headed over 200 M out but held on well to the line for a place. |
| 4 | 3 | SENATOR (BN015) | L Cassidy | -- | Settled towards rear. Took closer order under whip rounding home bend. Sustained good progress from mid-division into straight to be nearest at finish. |
