In the five-horse race, the second favorite Danon Cube, ridden by jockey Yutaka Take, took the lead. Shonan Galleon settled into second place at the fourth corner, then surged ahead in the straight, leaving the rest of the field far behind. The winning time was 1 minute 47.6 seconds, a new course record for two-year-olds. Danon Cube finished second, 2 1/2 lengths behind, and Super Yutaka came in third, a further 4 lengths behind.
