|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 60.5kg | - | 1-12.01 | 800m: 4th 400m: 4th | - | $3.10 | ||
| 7 | 61.0kg | 0.10 | 800m: 5th 400m: 5th | Laid in during the early stages. | $13 | |||
| 4 | 60.5kg | 1.60 | 800m: 7th 400m: 7th | - | $14 | |||
| 5 | 55.5kg | 2.00 | 800m: 3rd 400m: 3rd | Laid out rounding the home turn. | $11 | |||
| 6 | 58.0kg | 2.75 | 800m: 1st 400m: 1st | Raced keenly in the early stages. As a consequence of improving onto heels, was shifted wider on the track by its rider and allowed to stride forward near the 900m to obtain the leading position near the 700m. | $8 | |||
| 2 | 55.5kg | 3.50 | 800m: 2nd 400m: 2nd | - | $5.50 | |||
| 3 | 56.5kg | 5.00 | 800m: 6th 400m: 6th | Slow to begin. Raced in restricted room for a short distance near the 900m. Jockey J Byrne advised that despite settling further back than he anticipated, the gelding travelled comfortably during the event, however when placed under pressure failed to respond to his riding and proved disappointing. A post-race Veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. | $3.30 | |||
