2 | 1 | MIDNIGHT RATTLER (T371) | G Mosse | H | Began well from the inside draw and pushed forward to be handily placed just behind the leaders, on the fence. Held up until the 300m, and ran strongly to the line wearing down the winner, but just missing late. |
3 | 14 | METALLIC STAR (N309) | K C Leung | B/H/TT | Began OK, settling just forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Ran on strongly from the 300m, but failing to kick like 1st and 2nd late. |
4 | 12 | HEROIC GURU (S260) | T H So | -- | Steadied early, and taken back to sit at the rear of the field, on the fence. Held up early in the straight and had to come off heels at the 300m, losing momentum. Shifted out under pressure last 100m, but ran on strongly. |
5 | 10 | HAPPY AGILITY (T184) | G Benoist | CP | Began well and cruised up early to be forward of midfield on the fence, before running onto heels at the 900m. Didn't get a clear run until 250m, and went to the line well. |
6 | 8 | LUCKY EVER (T293) | H W Lai | B/XB1/TT | OK away and taken forward early to be handily placed behind the leaders, 1 off the fence. Tried to run on from the turn, but was held up until the 200m, and went to the line steadily when clear. |
7 | 3 | THE RAINBOW (V095) | B Prebble | -- | Steadied from the wide draw to sit at the back of the field, 3 wide. Came in to take the rails run from the turn, and ran on steadily without ever threatening. |
8 | 7 | HEALTHY JOYFUL (S358) | K Teetan | B/H | Pushed forward from the wide barrier to sit just behind the leaders, 3 wide with no cover. Well placed and led at 300m, but peaked on his run soon after, and faded back through the field late. |

10 | 9 | SUPER SWEET ORANGE (V058) | R Fourie | B-/SR1/TT1 | Fairly away before settling just worse than midfield, on the rail. Never responded to pressure from the 400m, and only plugged away to the line late. |
