| 1 | 1 | FUN RIDER (CK231) | T Angland | B | Dropped back to a rearward position, difficult to settle near 1100M, bid wide passing 500M and first to make his move, stayed on strongly in straight, got up last stride. |
| 2 | 6 | JUMBO GOLD (CK393) | M Du Plessis | P-/TT | Chased leaders 2-wide, responded well when pressed on inside 400M, led nearing 200M, ran on well only to be caught last stride. |
| 3 | 11 | NOBLE DELUXE (M063) | T H So | -- | Had a smooth trip on the inside 3Ls off the pace, switched away from fence near 400M, came with a threatening run in straight, kept on well to the line. |
| 4 | 3 | CARTOON FAY FAY (N014) | J Lloyd | B | Settled in 6th ahead of midfield, not going the pace to challenge leaders but kept on under pressure. |
| 5 | 7 | ELEGANCE KLAMMER (M228) | B Prebble | SR/TT | Held up behind midfield, travelled well enough and looked to have something to offer on straightening, short of room final 200M and was not able to be properly tested. |
| 6 | 2 | AOMEN (N008) | M L Yeung | B | Tucked into a 2-wide position behind midfield, travelled well but was held up rounding the home turn, stayed on final 300M despite not getting the clearest of runs. (Jockey questioned.) |
