1 | 14 | HOLI RAVIOLI (CG201) | F Coetzee | -- | Showed plenty of pace, took a sit behind leader 1L back, improved at 400 M, challenged passing 200 M, accelerated sharply and went on to score comfortably in finish. |
2 | 2 | PROFITING CHAMPION (CH123) | K T Yeung | -- | First into stride, led easily along outside rail, kept a solid pace on 1L clear, still defied rivals to 200 M, no match for winner final furlong but stayed on well late for another placing. |
3 | 4 | DIAMOND SUPREME (CH265) | D Whyte | TT | Tardy into stride, took a position in behind midfield 5Ls off pace, had a trail to midpoint, moved to centre and finished off nicely for 3rd but outclassed by first two. |

6 | 7 | DREAM HORSE (CG029) | Z Purton | TT | Began well, raced 2 to 3Ls back off outside rail, had a reasonable run to 400 M, didn't respond when placed under pressure, checked at 100 M but was weakening regardless. |
7 | 12 | RICH DRAGON (CG079) | M Du Plessis | V | Standard jump, settled back with last few 6Ls away, niggled to hold position at midpoint, responded well from 400 M and finished reasonably well despite never looking a winning chance. |
8 | 8 | PLEZAYRE (CG116) | G Boss | XB/TT | Began in line, positioned behind pace 3Ls back behind pace, had no excuses in run, found little when placed under pressure and struggled over concluding stages. |

11 | 9 | ENCOSTA DON (CH305) | R Fradd | -- | Moderate jump, back behind midfield 5Ls back, travelled fairly throughout, under pressure at 400 M, checked at 250 M when weakening and never a factor thereafter. |
12 | 6 | CLASSA BETTER (CH228) | H W Lai | B1/XB1 | Slow into stride, recovered to race 4Ls back in midfield, had a fair run to 400 M, couldn't keep up when they sprinted and folded tamely thereafter. |
13 | 11 | SHY BALDY (CH168) | M Nunes | TT | Well enough away, raced 3 to 4Ls back a few horses from outside, began to feel effects at 400 M and stopped quickly weakening to be well beaten. |
14 | 3 | FLORAL JOY II (CJ030) | K L Chui | XB/TT | Began awkwardly, failed to muster and became detached from the field, didn't stride out and not ridden along thereafter. Never a factor. (Lame in left hind and abnormal breathing.) |
