| 1 | 4 | DINOZZO (V246) | Z Purton | -- | Allowed to stride forward at own pace, settling in one-off position 4L from leader heading into back stretch. Given more rein passing 400m, 3-wide into straight, hit front 200m, gamely held off strong challenge. |
| 2 | 10 | VICTORY BOYS (S355) | J Moreira | H | Broke well, not pushed, settling in one-off position behind midfield. Shaken up passing 400m, swung widest into straight, finished strongly to just fail. |
| 3 | 6 | LOTUS STRIKES BACK (T145) | S Clipperton | B | Jumped with field, ridden but no pace, dropping to rear along fence. Improved position around first turn to midfield, got close to heels 400m, finished strongly to grab minor placing. |
| 4 | 12 | ROYAL PARTNER (N394) | S De Sousa | TT | Steadied on jumping and shifted across behind runners, settling in last pair. Taken to rail back stretch, improved position final turn, switched to centre field on straightening, finished off strongly. |
| 5 | 11 | CLOUD NINE (T416) | C Schofield | V/XB/TT | Pressed forward from outside draw, taking first turn 3-wide before settling in one-off position 1L from leader back stretch. Under pressure from 500m, kept on gamely under hard riding in straight. |
| 6 | 2 | INVENTOR (T379) | N Rawiller | B/TT | Jumped well, allowed to stride forward in the lead before being shuffled back first turn, settling in one-off position 3L from leader. Shaken up 400m, switched out 250m to make run, kept on fairly. |
| 7 | 5 | SHARP SAILOR (V188) | N Callan | B/TT | Began awkwardly, ridden to hold forward position, settling along rail 3L from leader entering back stretch. Raced tightly home turn, switched out 300m to make run, boxed on one-paced. |
| 8 | 8 | SILVERFIELD (S106) | K Teetan | XB | Allowed to stride forward but 4-wide to share early pace, then bumped and unbalanced 1300m before surging ahead to lead entering back stretch. Kicked clear 400m but collared 200m and gave ground gradually. |
| 9 | 7 | VANILLA (P439) | B Prebble | B | Steadied soon after start and shifted across behind runners, settling towards rear close to rail. Left rail final turn to make run but limited response to hard riding. |
| 10 | 3 | BEAUTY FLARE (V240) | C Y Ho | TT | Began well, vigorously ridden to hold forward position but held 4-wide. Gradually lost position around first turn, dropping toward rear but still wide without cover. Found nothing when asked in straight. |
| 11 | 9 | POSITIVE FORCE (V218) | O Murphy | B- | Ridden early to hold rail, sharing early pace before settling in box seat entering back stretch. Under pressure from 500m, spent force soon after straightening, faded. |
