Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | ADAIKALI (CE181) | C Soumillon | CP | Fastest into stride, crossed them easily from wide alley, relaxed well and handed up running, raced behind leader from 1000 M having run of race, shot to lead turning for home. Tired late but held on well. (Dropped whip.) |
| 2 | 8 | NOBLE MAN (CC099) | Y T Cheng | -- | Slow to begin, settled in rearward positon 2 wide 8 to 9Ls away, travelled comfortably throughout, made strong run between horses in straight and closed strongly from impossible spot. (Lame after race.) |
| 3 | 4 | REGENCY HORSE (CE229) | F Coetzee | B/TT | Broke with them, hard ridden early to take up spot outside leader 1L away, always chasing in middle section, lost touch a little entering straight but stuck to task well to hold 3rd. |
| 4 | 6 | SHADOW KNIGHT (CE154) | E Saint-Martin | B | Jumped with field, allowed to relax just worse then midfield, raced 4 back on rails 6 to 7Ls away, still 5Ls away turning for home, made good ground late between runners. |
| 5 | 1 | EVERY TIME (CD314) | A Delpech | SR | Fair to begin, taken back to last to settle 10Ls from pace, lobbed along 2 wide at tail using nothing in run, swung 4 wide turning for home and made up some late ground down outside in straight. |
| 6 | 2 | OUR JET (CD128) | S Dye | B/TT1 | Jumped well, used up in early stages to cross to lead, kept rolling 1L clear at a reasonable pace, 1L clear turning for home, quickly collared and weakened out of it. Worked too hard early. |
| 7 | 5 | ENGINEERING WONDER (CB300) | H W Lai | -- | Broke with field, settled just off midfield 6 to 7Ls away 2 wide, enjoyed good run throughout, swung 4 to 5 wide on turn, came with run widest in straight but couldn't make up required ground. |
| 8 | 3 | ALINSKY (CE046) | D Whyte | B | Began only fairly, drove through to hold spot 3 back on fence, raced 4Ls away throughout, used nothing to turn, followed paint in straight but lacked another gear to get closer. |
| 9 | 10 | KINGIFLY (CG020) | R Fradd | -- | Average to begin, ridden up to get closer early, settled midfield 5Ls off pace 2 wide, relaxed well, tracked 3 wide into race on turn, only battled away in home stretch. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 10 | 11 | FLYING SPRINTER (CD021) | H K Yim | B | Fast to break, taken hold of to race with cover just behind speed, 2 wide 4Ls away throughout, hard ridden making 3 wide run entering straight, raced one-paced in straight and weakened out of it. |
| 11 | 9 | GOLDEN CARE (CD188) | C Munce | B/TT | Broke with field, showed no early speed and drifted back to 2nd last, raced on rail 9 to 10Ls away throughout, gave large start into straight and made no impression to line. |
| 12 | 12 | CONESTOGA (CE313) | G Schofield | -- | Awkward to begin, ridden up to obtain close spot, trapped wide from awkward alley, raced 3 wide without cover throughout, always working 4 to 5 wide into straight, workload took toll and dropped out. |
