| 2 | 6 | TELECOM TOP STAR (CL276) | T Angland | B | Made its run fourth from the rear, 2 wide with cover. Peeled out early in the run home and ranged up before peaking on its run 100m from the wire. |
| 3 | 1 | DIAMOND ANGEL (M212) | B Prebble | TT | Camped midfield, 1 off with cover. Had little options early in the home straight, finished off well once into the clear after the 200m. |
| 4 | 13 | LINKED WIN (CL042) | D Whyte | B | Ridden positive in the early stages, but was going to be caught wide and settled behind midfield approaching the first turn. Received some cover on the circle when racing about 3 deep. Rounded the home bend wide and ran on fairly. |

| 9 | 11 | KIMBER FORTUNE (CK162) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Raced handy early however copped a check near the 850m & settled worse than midfield 3 deep with cover. Rounded the home turn widest and whacked away at the same speed in the run to the line. |
