1 | 5 | HORSE OF FORTUNE (T118) | K Teetan | -- | Tracked leader 2-wide, under heavy restraint when pace slackened mid-stages, took over 350M, kept on soundly to the finish and holding pursuers at bay. |
2 | 1 | HELENE PARAGON (V167) | Z Purton | H/XB | Dropped back from 14, in the rear 9Ls off and proved difficult to settle in a slowly run race, moved a bit closer 600M, held up near 300M, closed off steadily under top weight just couldn't reel in the winner. |
3 | 14 | EASTERN EXPRESS (T192) | J Moreira | TT | Settled down in mid-division 3-4Ls off the slow pace, bustled along 450M, chased steadily in the straight under light weight but couldn't reel in the winner. |
4 | 4 | SECRET WEAPON (S217) | D Whyte | B-/TT | Towards the rear 7Ls behind leader in a slowly run race, inclined to lay in early straight, had no clear run until 150M then finished well to go 4th near line. Would be closer. |
5 | 12 | ANTICIPATION (T198) | C Williams | B/TT | In rear group early, left with no cover 1100M when pace slackened, strolled forward to reach leaders 600M, continued with the chase final 400M but was always held. |

9 | 11 | BASIC TRILOGY (V133) | K K Chiong | B | Crossed to the lead 1200M and slowed things down, joined by rivals 600M, lost lead early straight, fought on to 150M, no extra towards finish. |

11 | 8 | ROMANTIC TOUCH (S393) | M Chadwick | TT | Never far off from leaders in a slowly run race, 7th at 400M, had his chance but couldn't accelerate enough to challenge leaders, steadied near 100M, eased off. |
12 | 13 | RENAISSANCE ART (T197) | H W Lai | H/P | Behind mid-division in a slowly run race, saved ground on the inside, gave limited response to urging passing 400M, never threatened. |
