1 12 GOLDEN CANNON (T022) C Y Ho B/H/XB Began from a wide gate, improved steadily before settled just outside the leader in sedate pace, quickened passing 500M to keep fast-approaching eventual 2nd from hitting the front, kicked 2L clear 200M out, just held on to the line.
2 11 JOLLY AMBER (V392) U Rispoli -- Tight early before settled in midfield, made rapid progress through the pedestrian-paced field to eyeball the leader briefly coming onto home bend, fought on under pressure from 1L back into the straight to fail narrowly.

5 10 RAINBOW GOLD (T237) M Chadwick B Prominent from a difficult draw, crossed to the rail in front passing the 1200 metres setting a sedate pace far side, headed on top of home bend and swamped after straightening.
6 4 VICTORY FOLLOW ME (V182) H T Mo TT Ridden to be close up early, restrained to one back in 2L 4th coming onto stables bend, left flat-footed rounding the home bend, inconvenienced after straightening and failed to quicken when asked.
7 6 FUN MANAGER (V220) J Moreira V/TT Settled just better than midfield on the rail, shuffled backward coming onto home bend, re-gained positon about 2L off the pace turning into home straight, kept on same pace under pressure in the run to the line.
