Soumillon again in the saddle My Dream Boat raced in mid-division before making progress on the stands-side (the right-hand side from the jockeys' viewpoint) to join the leaders approaching the last 200 metres. He overtook the outsider Momayyaz in the closing stages and won by one and a half lengths. Clive Co commented "My Dream Boat did it nicely. He liked the very soft ground and made us happy.

He was never able to get into contention and finished fifth behind the emphatic Japanese-trained A Shin Hikari although he did finish in front of New Bay and the Grand Prix de Paris winner Erupt.
