Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | BUDDY BUDDIES (M021) | B Prebble | B | Slow into stride, shifted across behind runners and settled four-back, the rail. Improved position back stretch, swung wide into straight, finished strongly down centre track for close win. |
| 2 | 4 | CONFUCIUS ELITE (N381) | O Doleuze | B | Began well, crossed to fence before first turn, settling in box seat behind leader. Came off fence 300m and battled on strongly to the line to just miss. |
| 3 | 7 | EN CIVIL (S327) | D Whyte | B/H/XB | Jumped best, raced in lead but wide to first turn, before cutting to rail 1200m. Kicked ahead top of straight and kept on well until run down closing stages. |
| 4 | 6 | TRUE COMMENT (S328) | N Rawiller | B/TT | Ridden along early, settling three-back the fence. Stayed on fence around turn and kept on steadily in straight until 100m when steadied and shifted out from heels. |
| 5 | 9 | DIAMOND FRIENDS (S376) | J Moreira | H/P | Raced tightly between horses early before settling behind midfield in a one-out position. Had clear run in straight, making ground steadily without looking dangerous. |
| 6 | 14 | SAFARI MAGIC (N166) | H N Wong | CP/XB/TT | Began awkwardly and lost ground, then steadied 1300m dropping to near last. Stayed on fence around turn and kept on fairly in straight. Tactics queried by stewards. |
| 7 | 8 | WIN ALONG (P003) | H W Lai | B/TT | No much early speed, settling along fence behind midfield. Switched out to get run in the straight and kept on fairly to the line. |
