1 | 2 | SEA JADE (V307) | Z Purton | -- | Jumped straight to the front and led to 800m when momentarily headed. Retook lead a few strides later, kicked ahead passing 300m, extending lead with every stride for effortless win. |
2 | 11 | HASTA LA VISTA (T350) | D Whyte | B/H/TT | Began well and quickly in box seat, 2L from leader. Stayed on fence around turn and chased leader in straight without being able to close the gap. |
3 | 3 | JUMBO HAPPINESS (V315) | C Y Ho | -- | Bumped and hampered start, dropping back, then crowded for room 1000m, dropping to rear. Switched out on straightening and finished off nicely for minor placing. |
4 | 8 | GRACEFUL KINGDOM (P145) | O Murphy | V | Jumped with field, pressed forward, settling in midfield along rail. Took closer order around turn but only one-paced in straight. |
5 | 9 | DARING FIT (V398) | N Callan | B1/TT | Began awkwardly then bumped and unbalanced losing ground. Pushed forward 3-wide to sit outside leader, then led for a few strides passing 800m. One-paced final 300m and checked off heels 50m. |
6 | 12 | SPARKLING TALENT (T346) | H W Lai | TT | Broke well, ridden to hold forward position, settling one-back, one-off. Shaken up top of straight but only one-paced. |

8 | 4 | MR PICASSO (T330) | B Prebble | PC-/H2 | Jumped OK, ridden along, settling one-off in midfield, 4L from leader. Three wide into straight but only one-paced under hard riding. |
9 | 7 | NOTED PERFORMER (V365) | S De Sousa | -- | Began fairly, no pace, dropping towards rear in one-off position. Taken to centre track on straightening but failed to make ground. |
10 | 5 | MASSIVE MILLENNIUM (T381) | K Teetan | H/TT | Bounded into the air on jumping and slow into stride, dropping to rear. Over-raced passing 1000m before taking closer order around turn. Spent force passing 200m and faded. |
11 | 1 | GREAT SKY (N426) | T H So | -- | No early toe, dropping to last along fence. Trailed field to straight and never competitive. |
12 | 10 | DAZZLE (V228) | S Clipperton | B | Broke well, pressed forward three-wide to settle 3L from leader. Under pressure from turn and gave ground quickly in straight, finishing tailed out. Unacceptable performance. |
