1 | 9 | ARPINATI (S274) | J Moreira | H | Began OK, ridden to hold fence in midfield, and taken out 500m but pushed back in and pocketed by outside horses. Found inside run 300m and battled strongly to win on the line. |
2 | 11 | PIKACHU (S298) | U Rispoli | B | Jumped with field, not pushed, settling behind midfield. Got close to heels 1000m, held for run early in straight, shifted in 350m for run and battled strongly to line to just fail. |
3 | 7 | GURUS DREAM (M246) | O Doleuze | -- | Began fairly, racing two and three wide at rear. Taken wider around turn and even wider in straight. Finished strongly down centre track to just fail. |
4 | 3 | SUPER LIFELINE (P158) | M Chadwick | -- | Pressed forward early before getting close to heels 1000m. Urged forward around turn, hit front soon after straightening, looked winner 200m before run down close to line. |
4 | 10 | MULTIVICTORY (P254) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Aggressively ridden from wide draw but failed to muster and caught three-wide in midfield. Lost position turn, taken very wide in straight and finished off strongly. |

7 | 5 | WINNING LEADER (N268) | B Prebble | H | Ridden forward to hold position three-back, one-off. Urged forward turning for home, looked chance 200m, tired final stages. |
8 | 14 | KING CREOLE (T619) | R Woodworth | B | Began fairly and last on settling. Still last entering straight before picking up momentum, doing best work final 200m. |
9 | 1 | ALL YOU WISH (P031) | D Whyte | TT | Slow into stride, settling toward rear along the fence. Kept on rail by outside horses on entering straight and plodded to the line. (Jockey reported horse prefers outside run). |
10 | 2 | WONDER MOSSMAN (S620) | H Lam | TT | Pressed forward from wide draw to hold position one-back, one-off. Rolled forward entering straight to lead 400m, still in contention 200m before weakening. |
11 | 6 | WONDERFUL MOMENTS (P346) | N Rawiller | B | Began best, then raced outside leader before easing back two-off but wide and without cover. Bumped and unbalanced 900m, wide turn, plodded to line. Lame right front leg. |
