Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 13 | DANSING FUN (CE202) | M Nunes | B- | Led on fence at 1100 M, clear by about a neck until home turn, gamely fended off a host of late challenges. |
| 2 | 9 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | 4-wide no cover early, 3-wide no cover and 1L down in 3rd at 800 M, 2Ls down in 4th at home turn, stayed on well despite wide trip throughout for good 2nd. |
| 3 | 4 | AMERICAN VICTORY (CD375) | O Doleuze | B | Nicely placed on fence in box seat throughout but raced too keenly and wanted to lay out, never worse than 2Ls off pace at any stage, finished well despite bad habits. |
| 4 | 8 | KIWI DASH (CC281) | B Prebble | -- | Restrained towards rear as usual about 5Ls off speed early, same margin back when 5-wide turning for home, stayed on well without reaching leaders (pace not strong enough). |
| 5 | 6 | STAR PRODIGY (CD294) | R Fradd | V | Raced prominently 2-wide and within 2Ls of the pace in 5th or so until home turn, 1.5Ls down and with excellent place prospects at 150 M, one-paced in closing stages. |
| 6 | 10 | SPY KING (CE205) | K T Yeung | CP-/V1 | Led early on, 2-wide and about a neck down in 2nd from 1000 M to home straight, led again briefly over 300 M out but one-paced and swamped final 50 M. |
| 7 | 14 | DENDRANTHEMA LOVE (CD073) | H K Yim | V-/CP1 | 8Ls last at 1000 M, 7Ls down and 5-wide turning for home in rear, ran on well down centre of track to be nearest at finish. |
| 8 | 5 | PLEASURE PLEASURE (CD271) | G Mosse | B/TT | Missed the break but recovered on inside to race 3-back on fence in midfield over 3Ls off pace at halfway, much the same margin from the front despite pressure in homestretch. |
| 9 | 3 | PILLOW KING (CE291) | M Odendaal | B | Over-raced a little in rear early, 6Ls down in 13th at 800 M, forced 7-wide (widest of all) turning for home, always held. |
| 10 | 2 | AMBITION (CC079) | H W Lai | B/TT1 | Unbalanced at 1000 M when 3Ls down and 2-wide around midfield, lost position on the circle and struggling turning for home, one-paced. |
| 11 | 7 | FRAMES DEPOT (CG118) | D Whyte | -- | Awkwardly away, with cover in midfield through first half, 4Ls off pace and losing ground turning for home, plugged on at same pace. |
| 12 | 11 | UNIVERSAL KOMISSAR (CE096) | S Dye | -- | 3-wide with cover in midfield about 3Ls or so off pace at 800 M, 4-wide turning for home but beaten by the 200 M. |
| 13 | 12 | FLASH HARRY (CB180) | A Delpech | SR | Messy start, very keen in rear early so allowed to stride on out wide without cover to dispute lead out 4-wide at 600 M, capitulated from top of home straight. |
| 14 | 1 | GOOD TO GREAT (CD278) | F Coetzee | CP/XB | Mostly 4-wide with cover, in rear early but pressed on to be 3Ls down in midfield at halfway, 6-wide and struggling turning for home, beaten a long way out. |
