| 1 | 14 | SPARKLING POWER (L257) | J Lloyd | -- | Soon crossed to the fence and raced keenly behind leaders, held up to 350M then picked up strongly up the inside rail to forge to the front in the final stride. Promising debut. |
| 2 | 2 | YOU GOTTA PAY (CK350) | D Whyte | -- | Raced at the hindquarters of leader, travelled strongly to straight, soon took over and shook clear passing 300M, galloped on well but was just caught in the final stride. |

| 4 | 12 | JUN QI (L162) | C W Wong | H | Always within striking distance, pressed 450M from home, kept on well to the line but found no extra pace to challenge top two seriously. |

| 9 | 6 | FINN MACCOOL (CK072) | W M Lai | SR/TT | Dropped back to a rearward position, angled out from fence 450M for a clear passage, made very limited progress down the outside and was never any real threat. |

| 12 | 4 | FOREVER ELATION (CK215) | O Doleuze | B | With leaders early, dropped back to midfield approaching home turn, shifted out to improve nearing 500M but found very little in reserves, ran on empty final 150M. |
| 13 | 13 | OUTTALIMITZ (CK312) | G Cheyne | -- | Settled in midfield but was pushed widest making the home turn, not able to quicken and soon behind. |
