1 | 6 | WHIPLASH (CG072) | D Dunn | -- | Travelled well in 2nd out 2-wide between 1L and 2Ls off pace until the 600 M, eased to the front 300 M out, shot over 1L clear with 200 M to race, always in command. |
2 | 1 | CHATER SILK (CG050) | D Whyte | -- | 2-wide and 5Ls off speed in midfield at 800 M, 4Ls down in 6th turning for home and picked up well to be over 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, comfortable 2nd but always held by the winner. |
3 | 3 | PASSION (CE252) | F Coetzee | CP/TT | Led out wide early, led by over 1L on fence 900 M out, under pressure when headed by winner 300 M out, just hung on for 3rd place. |
4 | 4 | SUPER FANTASY (CD162) | C Munce | H/TT | Held up one from rear about 10Ls off pace down the back, 4-wide on straightening when 6Ls down in 12th, ran on well late to just miss a place when nearest at finish. (See Racing Incidents.) |

7 | 11 | SUNRISE LINING (CG030) | O Doleuze | -- | Well placed in 4th when 2-wide and 3Ls behind speed at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 3rd at top of home straight, one-paced thereafter. |
8 | 5 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Carried head awkwardly early on, always worse than midfield at least 7Ls off the speed until home turn, made some minor late ground. |
9 | 12 | DEVON FLAIR (CD240) | S Dye | V | Disputed early lead before settling into box seat 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 900 M, still 2Ls down swinging for home but rather one-paced from then on. |
10 | 14 | ACCOLADE (CD121) | M W Leung | PC- | Slow break, always towards rear about 7Ls off pace until the 600 M, tended to hang out also, never threatened. |
