2 | 12 | REDWOOD BABY (P358) | K Teetan | B/TT | Squeezed out shortly after start, dropped to behind midfield away from fence, little room final turn, got clear top of straight, flashed home strongly to just miss. |

5 | 4 | NOBLE BOY (M206) | B Prebble | -- | Began fairly, got head up 1700m when awkwardly placed on heels, dropping to rear. Held up for run final turn and early straight, finished off nicely when clear. |

10 | 11 | RIYADH (N275) | W M Lai | B | Hampered shortly after start and thereafter raced mostly 3-wide without cover. Turned wide into straight and found little under pressure. |
11 | 3 | AMBER DRAGON (P229) | O Doleuze | B | Jumped best and led to winning post first time before easing into box seat behind leader. Under pressure from 500m and gave ground gradually. |
12 | 5 | AMBASSADORSHIP (N217) | N Callan | B2 | Hampered shortly after start, taken across behind runners from wide draw, settling last. Closed in 1100m but checked on heels. Never a threat after that. |
