1 | 9 | LOVING STAR (M382) | O Doleuze | CP1 | Missed start, improved to race in midfield on the rails, had a quiet time in mid section, improved turning and swept to the lead passing the 200m, kept on gamely to score. |
2 | 5 | YUE LU TREASURE (CJ184) | C W Wong | -- | Settled behind midfield racing two deep, pushed into the clear 3 wide at the 400m, assumed second inside final 200m and just held off fast finish of Real Generous. |
3 | 14 | REAL GENEROUS (M193) | M Du Plessis | B/H/TT | Taken back to last nearly 15 lengths off the leader, raced 3 wide at rear, gradually improved cornered on bend widest out, really let down well to finish up best of all and unlucky not to be closer. |
4 | 1 | ATHENIUM (CK197) | G Mosse | CP | Settled 4ls back along the fence, tracked a fast speed throughout, straightened three deep, moved to second at the 200m, looked a place chance but was swamped 50m out. |
5 | 3 | ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) | M Chadwick | CP | Positioned a bit closer in midfield 6Ls off lead in two wide line, aided by speed on, rounded the final bend six wide and made steady ground late without threatening. |

8 | 2 | PERFECT CHEERS (M341) | Z Purton | B/TT | Drifted back from a tricky alley more than 12Ls off lead, always well back but aided by tempo, came wider turning and made some decent progress to be nearest on line. |
9 | 12 | NORTH HILL (CJ082) | U Rispoli | -- | Restrained from a wide alley, best part of 10Ls back on fence, helped by fast speed, had job to do turning and made some minor ground without ever looking likely. |

11 | 6 | WON TON KING PRAWN (N199) | B Prebble | TT1 | Took early lead and soon allowed to assume trail, sat 2Ls back on solid speed, right there turning but hung badly in straight and gradually dropped out. (See racing incidents.) |
