1 | 6 | NOBLE CHAMPION (CC287) | D Whyte | TT- | 2-wide down back straight when about 5Ls off pace in 7th, 3-wide into straight when 4Ls down, picked up well and a neck 2nd 200 M out, driven hands and heels to lead final strides. |
2 | 10 | CHAMP DRAGON (CB278) | A Marcus | B | Soon led on fence, always 1L clear through to home straight, a neck clear at the 200 M, collared by winner final strides. |
3 | 8 | SANBENITO (CC256) | J Quinn | B | Always tight to fence about 4Ls off place in 4th, 5th or 6th through to home straight, switched outside to challenge at the 300 M, 2Ls down 200 M out, kept on fairly well to hang on for 3rd. |
4 | 14 | SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) | S Dye | -- | In 12th 9Ls off pace on fence at 1200 M, still towards rear when 2-wide and 7Ls down off home turn, short of room at the 300 M, ran on strongly once clear final 150 M just missing a place. |
5 | 13 | SUCCESSFUL SPIRIT (BV226) | W Smith | B/TT | On fence 2Ls off pace on fence in 3rd through to home straight, ideally placed to challenge but could only stay on at the one pace. |

7 | 12 | MAIN ATTRACTION (CB218) | Y T Cheng | B | Awkwardly away, 6Ls off pace in 8th and on fence at 1200 M, 5Ls down and 2-wide in midfield into stretch, short of room from 300 M to about 200 M, one-paced thereafter. |
8 | 2 | WISE CHOICE (CB297) | G Mosse | -- | 2-wide 3Ls off pace in 4th at 1200 M, similarly placed entering straight but under pressure, was quite one-paced thereafter. |

10 | 5 | HALO KING PRAWN (CB124) | W C Marwing | P/H | Prominent but 3-wide without cover and 3Ls off pace in 5th until home straight, no response and beaten over 200 M out. |
11 | 4 | STRATEGUS (CC050) | F Coetzee | -- | In 2nd 2-wide and 1L off pace from 1200 M to home straight, weakened final 250 M. (Bled.) |
12 | 1 | SUN SHINE RIVER (BT078) | H K Yim | SR | 2-wide 11Ls off pace in 13th at the 1200 M, still in rear and 8Ls down entering straight, never a factor. |
