| 2 | 1 | DIVINE CALLING (S282) | J Moreira | B | Well covered in midfield, never far off 3Ls back, lacked winner's acceleration passing 350M, no impression on winner thereafter but boxed on well to hold 2nd. |
| 3 | 10 | GIANT TREASURE (T148) | D Whyte | SR | In mid-division, sat 3-wide with cover and never far away from leaders, loomed a strong chance turning in, not finishing pace of winner inside 300M, dueled for 2nd place |

| 5 | 5 | THUNDER FANTASY (T125) | K Teetan | -- | Strolled forward, unable to slot in and was left 3-wide without cover throughout, led briefly early straight, headed 250M, kept on same pace final 200M. |
| 6 | 9 | HELENE HAPPY STAR (T104) | G Mosse | H | Dropped back to last, well off the pace and detached from main group early stages, got back to it 900M, ran past beaten rivals turning in but never reached leaders. |

| 8 | 7 | SAVVY NATURE (T127) | N Rawiller | H | Always in touch behind leaders, soon outdashed by first five passing 350M, lacked further response inside 200M. |
| 9 | 6 | ANTICIPATION (T198) | A Suborics | B1/TT1 | Began only fairly, shaken up early and improved to a midfield position, had little to offer turning in, never in the hunt. |
