| 1 | 6 | WAR WEAPON (E257) | Z Purton | XB/TT | Steadied & taken back to second last. Was relegated to last near the 750m. Was lest entering final section, eased outwards to be second widest before sprinting strongly to dash to lead near 150m before going on to win easily. |
| 2 | 1 | DARCI JOY (E161) | S De Sousa | B/TT | Raced three wide early before steadying & getting position 1,1 from about the 1200m. Shared lead fleetingly near 175m before passed by winner, battled hard & was a little wayward when fighting on to hold second. |
| 3 | 2 | YOUNG VICTORY (D399) | M Chadwick | TT | Raced third last away from the rail. Had clear running when just over 3L from the lead on straightening before closing off steadily down the outside to just be beaten for second on line. |
| 4 | 4 | FOREVER FOLKS (G463) | A Hamelin | B | Began only fairly & was ridden along after the start & improving along rail to race in midfield in middle stages. Held up early in straight before getting clear & closing strongly between runners late. |
| 5 | 7 | THUNDERBOLTAURUS (G184) | H Bowman | TT | Raced in midfield away from the rail throughout. Eased three wide at the 500m, closed steadily all the way to the line & wasn't far behind second when holding midfield finish. |
| 6 | 5 | LOOKING COOL (G151) | K C Leung | CP | Improved after the start to eventually share lead from about the 1200m. Was joined near the 175m, passed quickly by winner soon after before over-run for minor prizemoney in the final 50m. |
| 7 | 8 | COPARTNER ERA (C534) | C Y Ho | B | Steadied & taken back to a clear last after the start. About 3L behind second last after first section before improving along rail to be second last from the 750m. Battled on to hold deficit in straight but was never likely. |
| 8 | 3 | THE HULK (C431) | L Currie | -- | Raced on the rail following the leader for the majority. Moved off the rail after straightening, was still close at the 250m before weakening a few lengths in the last 150m. |
| 9 | 10 | POLYMER GLORIOUS (E250) | V Borges | SR | Held lead momentarily after start before over-racing when being steadied & sharing lead from 1200m. Was a length behind on straightening before weakening badly from 350m & finished a distant second last (mucus in trachea). |
| 10 | 9 | VANQUISHER (H131) | H Bentley | H-/B/TT | Raced four wide when only 1L from the lead up until the 1200m before being steadied & drifting back to midfield from the 1000m. Was the widest runner on cornering before weakening badly in the straight to be very long last. |
