| 1 | 2 | PERFECT GEAR (CL014) | B Prebble | -- | Driven from widest draw. Camped one-off behind the speed 1000 M out. Challenged leader turning into home straight. Fought on determinedly to come out on top final stages. |
| 2 | 6 | SUPER BOY (CK405) | J Lloyd | TT | Soon led on fence. Battled gamely with the eventual winner in the straight. Knocked out near the post and barely clung on for 2nd. |
| 3 | 7 | GOOD STRIKE (CJ351) | M L Yeung | -- | Eased to sit 2-wide at rear shortly after start. Stayed near the fence and was 4Ls down rounding home turn. Did the best work late through runners and nearly snatched 2nd. |
| 4 | 4 | ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) | D Whyte | -- | Slow to begin. Raced behind midfield on fence at the Rock. Peeled out and was 3Ls down turning in. Closed off well and was nearest at finish. |
| 5 | 5 | ELITE SIXTY-SIX (CK085) | D Beadman | -- | Began well. Eased to one-out-one-back from first turn. Looked dangerous top of home straight but couldn't sustain effort final furlong. |
| 6 | 1 | NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Box-seat through to home straight. Ideal spot to strike but failed to turn up a notch. |
| 7 | 3 | ROYAL FLUSH (CK184) | Z Purton | XB/TT | Proved difficult to settle and was checked early stages. Raced towards rear back straight. Hard ridden approaching home straight but no progress. |
