| 1 | 2 | WINDICATOR POWER (L424) | C Y Ho | P/TT | Chased leaders in 4th, picked up strongly turning in, led inside 250M, forged clear and won with plenty in hand. |
| 2 | 5 | SHAHJEE (M151) | H W Lai | B | Strode forward to race outside the lead after 800M having been wide in midfield, tussled briefly with the eventual winner inside 300M, not pace of winner but kept on well for 2nd. |
| 3 | 1 | TOPPING LIGHT (L040) | D Beadman | -- | Broke well, tracked leader from 1000M, had every chance but turned once pace inside 200M, hung on for 3rd. |
| 4 | 6 | UNION'S STAR (CK117) | B Prebble | TT1 | Reserved behind midfield, took time to find his stride turning in, did best work late and narrowly missed out on 3rd place. |
| 5 | 10 | MAKE IT (L139) | K C Leung | CP | Not hurried after the start and dropped back to the rear 8-9Ls off the pace, stayed on fairly to the line. |
| 6 | 12 | TEAM WORK (CH276) | C W Wong | B | Along the fence in midfield, had every chance down this inside 300M, one-pace over final stages. |
| 7 | 8 | ISLAND SUPER (CH297) | W M Lai | TT | Towards the rear, found clear run down outside of straight final 300M, made some progress but couldn't quite get to the leaders. |
| 8 | 11 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Settled behind mid-division, kept on evenly turning in but effort flattened out passing 100M. |
| 9 | 9 | FLORA DANICA (M064) | M Du Plessis | -- | In mid-division 2-wide and was a shade keen in middle stages, kept on same pace and no impression from 200M out. |
| 10 | 7 | REGENCY WINNER (CK410) | M Chadwick | TT | Not mustered early, ended up in the rear 9Ls behind leaders, found little when taken to challenge on the outside of straight. |
| 11 | 3 | EURO POWER (L188) | Z Purton | B | Fractious in the barriers and was slowly away, held up towards the rear 7Ls off the pace, not quickened passing 300M. |
| 12 | 4 | LOADS OF JOY (L088) | O Doleuze | TT | Worked to the front from draw 10 and led them steadily, weakened rapidly after being headed 250M. |
