| 1 | 8 | TRIUMPHANT UNICORN (CD166) | D Holland | -- | Raced prominently but freely early on, 2-wide and 2Ls off pace at 1200 M and 800 M, almost upsides leaders off home turn, led 250 M out, ran on well. |
| 2 | 3 | JOYFUL SPIRIT (CB032) | G Mosse | -- | 4Ls off pace on fence in 7th at 1200 M, 2-wide and 2Ls down in midfield off home turn, never likely to catch winner but still stayed on well to nick 2nd on the line. |
| 3 | 10 | SANBENITO (CC256) | F Coetzee | TT | Keen early, 5Ls behind when 2-wide in 8th at 1100 M, held up when 3Ls down in mid-division off home turn, over 2Ls down in 9th at 200 M, burst through late and narrowly missed 2nd. |
| 4 | 2 | GOODY (CD239) | A Delpech | -- | 6Ls off pace on fence in 9th at 1100 M, 3Ls behind in 8th at home turn, closer but steadied at 200 M and switched inside, ran on strongly but narrowly missed a place. |
| 5 | 6 | BUMPER BUMPER (CD025) | D Whyte | -- | 1L off pace in 2nd out 2-wide until the 800 M, led at top of home straight but headed about 150 M later, tended to hang in on the run-in. |
| 6 | 4 | FIFTY FIFTY (CD131) | R Fradd | -- | Keen when 3-wide without cover when 3Ls off pace in 5th at 1200 M, 2Ls off pace in 5th entering home straight, just over 1L down in 6th at 200 M, no extra close home. |
| 7 | 9 | SAINT THOMAS (CD200) | M Rodd | B/TT | 3Ls off pace when 2-wide in 5th at 1200 M, 2Ls behind in midfield off final bend when hanging in, stayed on well but always held by principals. |
| 8 | 7 | SAN LORENZO (CC092) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Slowly away, had the run of the race 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1000 M to home straight, still well there at the 200 M but faded close home. |
| 9 | 12 | ART TRADER (CE131) | C Soumillon | -- | Keen early, 3-wide but mostly with cover until home straight, 6Ls behind in 10th at 1100 M, 4Ls down in 10th off home turn, always held by leaders but still a nice debut. |
| 10 | 1 | SWISS LAD (CC209) | B Prebble | TT | Best away, led by a neck on fence at 1200 M, 1L clear at 800 M and 600 M headed at top of home straight and weak inside final 200 M. |
