1 | 8 | FLYING SPRINTER (CD021) | H K Yim | B | Jumped well and hard ridden in the early stages to race outside the leader through to straight. Responded well when asked 400 M out and fended off repeated challenge from 2nd placegetter to win by a narrow margin. |
2 | 11 | TABBRIS (CB088) | G Mosse | -- | Best out and ridden along to race in a forward position 3 wide through to straight. Ran on well when asked 400 M out but was unable to find an extra gear to overhaul the winner to settle for 2nd place. |
3 | 5 | HAPI HAPI (CD224) | D Whyte | -- | Broke fairly and pushed along to be box-seated behind the leader. Popped off the rail on straightening to find clear running. Ran on well when clear running was obtained 250 M out to hold onto 3rd place. |

5 | 2 | HEKYLL N' JYDE (CC337) | S Dye | -- | Broke well and hard ridden in the early stages to take narrow lead on rail through to straight. Kept on well when asked 350 M out but was headed shortly after the 200 M mark and became one pace thereafter. |

7 | 10 | GLOBE RIVER (CD228) | A Marcus | -- | Tardy start from widest and soon settled in a rearward position on rail to straight. Switched to the widest in straight to obtain clear running and made up little ground inside final 250 M to be closest at finish. |
