| 1 | 3 | SMART FELLOW (CG031) | F Coetzee | TT | First to hit ground, unable to cross but obtained run of race in 1 out 1 back spot, tracked nicely 1L away to turn, made run entering straight, took a while to hit lead and had to fight right to line to hold on. |
| 2 | 12 | FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) | H K Yim | -- | Standard break, hard ridden to hold midfield position, drove up to be 3Ls away on rails, stalked leaders on turn, angled out nicely with run, charged home late only be nosed out on line. Improved effort. |
| 3 | 6 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | A Delpech | -- | Began with rest, hard ridden early, eventually worked across to race outside leader, applied pressure on the circle, headed up entering straight, fought out battle with winner until 100 M, just outpaced last bit. |
| 4 | 2 | MARS (CE011) | O Doleuze | V | Average break, lacked early speed, settled at rear on rails, raced 6 to 7Ls away throughout, still last on turn, stuck to rails in stretch, made solid ground between runners late to make frame. |
| 5 | 9 | AMAZING WIN (CG208) | M Nunes | TT | Began nicely, urged along to hold prominent spot, had dream trail behind leader 1L away, tracked nicely on turn, badly held up until 200 M, kept with them last furlong but never really had a clear crack. |
| 6 | 11 | RICH FOR ALL (CG023) | D Whyte | B | Jumped with line, unable to slot in early, received bad check on first bend, posted 4 wide without cover thereafter 5Ls away, came wide on turning, closed race off nicely down centre of track to be closest at finish. |
| 7 | 5 | PLENTY OF TALENT (CE329) | M Odendaal | -- | Slow to begin, settled in rearward division on rails, 5Ls down throughout, didn't use a lot to turn, kept to rails in straight, unable to find another gear when asked and finished at same pace to line. |
| 8 | 1 | ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) | B Prebble | -- | Jumped with line, drifted back from wide alley, raced 3 wide 5 to 6Ls from them with cover, urged along to be 4Ls down on turning, steadily closed when in clear, run ended at 200 M and plugged to line. |
| 9 | 7 | STEP TO WIN (CG167) | D Nikolic | B1/TT1 | Began awkwardly and steadied early, settled in midfield, shifted out badly passing the 1000 M point, 3 wide without cover then on, circled wide into straight, couldn't sustain effort and dropped out in straight. Very green. |
| 10 | 8 | GEM MASTER (CG235) | Y T Cheng | TT1 | Broke well enough, shuffled back to rearward division, raced 2 wide 5Ls, under pressure on turn, couldn't find an extra gear when they sprinted, only passed a few tired runners late. |
| 11 | 4 | PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) | C W Wong | -- | Bounced out fairly, pressed on in search of front, worked to take up lead, pressured throughout, shaded on turning in, stuck on until 200 M, fitness gave out and weakened quickly last furlong. |
| 12 | 10 | WONDERFUL WORLD (CG133) | W M Lai | -- | Even break, showed no speed, drifted back to near tail, raced 6Ls away 2 wide, hard pressed to keep touch on turning in, found nothing in straight and plodded to line. |
