| 1 | 8 | HOLY QUEST (CA309) | W C Marwing | -- | Broke well and pushed along to race in a forward section towards the outside. Took lead after 1000 M and steadily shifted inwards with around 1L advantage entering straight. Ran home strongly to win readily. |
| 2 | 7 | WINNING PARADE (CA283) | C Soumillon | B/TT | Began fairly and hard ridden to race 2-wide 1-1/2L off leader through to straight. All out 350 M out and ran on well but never in position to overhaul the winner. |
| 3 | 10 | MAXIMUM JOY (CA025) | R Fradd | B | Hard ridden but outpaced to race 4Ls off leader around 2-wide through to straight. Made up steady ground in straight and doing best work in the final stages to be closest at finish. |
| 4 | 4 | GO GET THEM (BV195) | M W Leung | SR | Taken back to the rear section and shifted in closer to the rail. From 600 M steadily improved to midfield entering straight. Made up some ground in straight but never troubled the placegetters. |
| 5 | 5 | PRETTY TRIO (CB343) | G Mosse | SR | Missed the start and dropped to the rail of the field 2 to 3-wide. Stayed in similar position entering straight. When asked 300 M out ran on strongly to the line. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 6 | 2 | O REI (CB384) | F Coetzee | TT1 | Slowly away and soon recovered to race in midfield position around 3-wide through to straight. Under pressure 350 M out but stayed one-paced to the line. |
| 7 | 12 | POT BLACK (CA079) | J Spencer | SR | Niggled along to race a better than midfield position on rail. Around 400 M was placed under pressure and shifted out to obtain running but only kept on one-paced in the straight. |
| 8 | 6 | TUMBLER (BV337) | P Smullen | B | Slow to begin and raced in worse than midfield position through to straight. Under pressure 500 M out and made no impression. |
| 9 | 1 | WHATA FEELING (CB267) | C Williams | B | Began fairly and settled in mid-division towards the outside through to straight. Did not quicken and further weakened over the concluding stages. |
| 10 | 3 | ACCLAMATION (CB045) | D Whyte | P2 | Began well but unable to muster early speed to settle in rear section out wide. Hung out at home turn and made no impression in straight. |
| 11 | 9 | UNIVERSAL FLAIR (CB285) | A Suborics | -- | Slow to begin and pushed hard to race in mid-division on fence. At 600 M commenced to lose position and dropped out after 400 M. |
| 12 | 11 | NOBLE VICTORY (CC022) | E Legrix | SR | Ridden hard to lead narrowly and soon headed after 1000 M. Still 2nd turning for home and soon dropped out badly. |
