1 | 1 | FLYING SILVER (E478) | H Bowman | CP/TT | Difficult to settle passing winning-post before racing midfield away from rail. Moved three wide with cover near 900m, ridden to improve near 500m, improved to third on straightening, finishes strongly in last 100m to win. |
2 | 11 | FOXHUNTER WAY (E296) | C Y Ho | -- | Pushed forward, raced second away from the rail. Looked to not be going as well as leader at 500m, cornered about a length behind, dug deep to move to narrow lead at 200m before over-run by winner in last 50m. |
3 | 5 | JUBILATION (G029) | M L Yeung | V | Was trapped racing three wide without cover in midfield for the majority. Was hard ridden from 500m mark, fought on bravely in the straight to hold third, beaten only 2L. |

7 | 8 | SUCCESS ALLSTARS (D065) | V Borges | B | Raced in midfield along the rail throughout. Was 4L from the lead entering final section & could only hold that deficit in the straight. No threat. |
