Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | NEOREALISM (A609) | J Moreira | XB | Travelled keenly early stages in a very slowly run race, shifted out 1050M and allowed to improve into the lead, led the sprint home from 500M, was strongly challenged final 100M but held sway at the finish. |
| 2 | 8 | PAKISTAN STAR (V325) | S De Sousa | B/H/TT | Raced keenly in a slowly run race, restrained to sit just behind leader early stages, shuffled back to midfield when pace quickened 1000M, 3Ls down at 400M, ran on strongly in the sprint home, line just came too soon. |
| 3 | 1 | WERTHER (V083) | H Bowman | B | Settled 2-3Ls back in 4th, pace slow early and middle stages, always within striking distance, sprinted well in the run home but just couldn't reel in the leader. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 4 | 4 | BLAZING SPEED (P192) | N Callan | TT | Always prominent, tracked eventual winner into straight, fought on honestly but unable to get any closer, outsprinted by 2nd and 3rd final 150M. |
| 5 | 6 | THE UNITED STATES (A627) | B Prebble | B | Took lead from 1800M, led very slowly and being taken over from 1000M, tried hard to keep up as they sprinted home from 500M, one pace and out of contention mid-straight. |
| 6 | 2 | SECRET WEAPON (S217) | Z Purton | TT | Held up 2nd last in a slowly run race, 4Ls to make up 400M, couldn't reach leaders in the sprint home. |
| 7 | 7 | DICTON (A628) | O Peslier | TT | Slow to begin, held up midfield, left flat footed when they sprinted home 500M, never involved. |
| 8 | 3 | DESIGNS ON ROME (P270) | T Berry | B | At the rear 8Ls off the very slow pace, couldn't muster the speed when driven out home turn, soon left behind. |
