2 | 14 | MY MELODY (CJ157) | W Pike | B/XB/TT | Travelled in a handy spot behind the speed, 2 wide with cover. Shot to the lead at the 100m but was headed close to the winning post. |
3 | 2 | BLADE FORCE (CK330) | M Chadwick | B1/TT | Urged forward from high draw to cross and lead on the fence. Was pressured by a runner to its outside from about the 800m, maintained a good gallop to the finish. |

5 | 3 | BLINK AGAIN (CK011) | W M Lai | XB-/V/TT | Settled back in the event, then made the turn awkwardly at the 800m, got its head up and lost ground, settling behind midfield 2-3 wide with cover. Eased out early in the straight and made good ground. |

9 | 1 | PACHINKO (CH208) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Positioned with the backmakers along the fence. Battled in the final stages. A veterinary inspection after the race including an endoscopic examination showed that the horse was a "roarer". |
