1 | 1 | EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) | D Whyte | CP2/H1/TT2 | Camped midfield along the rail. Shifted off to race 2-wide near the 800 M, rallied 4 to 5-wide on the home turn then threaded a course between runners to snare the prize in the shadows of the post. |
2 | 9 | UNIQUE SPEED (CG134) | H W Lai | TT | Ridden along early from the outside gate but after being prominent and caught wide early was steadied to race 3 deep with cover midfield. Was carted 4-wide no cover after the 700 M, hit the lead at the 100 M, but was mowed down. |
3 | 3 | THE WITCH'S BROOM (CH231) | O Doleuze | CP-/B2 | Settled back from a wide alley to race with the backmakers, 2 deep with cover. Commenced to improve near the 600 M, cornered wide, and closed off nicely. |

5 | 4 | EAST OCEAN (CK340) | G Cheyne | B | Led along the rails before handing up near the 800 M. Was shuffled back slightly when the pace quickened passing the 700 M. Kept on one paced when in clear running after the 300 M. |
6 | 12 | GLENEALY VIKING (CK174) | Y T Cheng | -- | Raced 1 off early worse than midfield. Shifted out to improve between runners, 3-wide with cover after the 700 M. Made steady ground in the final stretch. |
