It was won by Americain, a French-trained horse who had won the Geelong Cup at his only other Australian start. Second placing went to the lightly raced Lexus Stakes winner Maluckyday, while third placing went to dual Cox Plate winner and short-priced favourite So You Think.

The official winning time was 3:26.87 with the margins of 2.8 lengths and 0.5 lengths back to third. The race was run on a slow (6) track with persistent rain falling causing flooding and closure of the Cup Day car park.
