| 1 | 7 | MASTER VIKING (S385) | K Teetan | V/TT | Ridden to lead and virtually made all, kicked over 2L clear about 100 metres out, won readily. |
| 2 | 5 | OPTIMISM (S150) | N Callan | SR/TT | Moderate start, soon recovered to midfield on rails, angled off rails to challenge upon straightening, ran on well without troubling the winner. |
| 3 | 8 | NOVEL START (M255) | D Whyte | B | Began fairly settling within striking distance in 4th, shuffled back to 5th leaving the Rock and similar into straight, fought on steadily without threatening in the run home. |
| 4 | 4 | SAMMY'S EMPIRE (S336) | M L Yeung | B | Settled in midfield or just worse, did not find much room early in straight, made up some late ground close to home. |
| 5 | 10 | JADE PIPPO (P052) | B Prebble | CP/H/XB/TT | Taken well back from a wide gate, remained in last and widest into straight, made good progress near the centre of the track. |
| 6 | 11 | KING OF SMARTS (S176) | Y T Cheng | PC | Broke well from a poor gate, raced very wide in midfield down back straight before moving forward to a prominent position passing the 800 metres, chased leader into straight but folded up quickly inside final 200 metres. |
| 7 | 9 | FOREVER FUN (S130) | V Cheminaud | B/TT | Broke well from a wide gate to be prominent early stages, shifted back to 3-wide in midfield far side, kept on same pace without quickening under pressure in the run home. |
| 8 | 6 | CHARTER VICTORIA (P204) | Z Purton | V-/SR2/TT1 | Settled well behind, commenced move at top of home bend and snuck up on rails turning in, unable to sustain effort inside final 200 metres. |
| 9 | 3 | NATURAL EIGHT (S243) | C Y Ho | B/H | Jumped fairly, niggled along on rails in handy position, taken back to just behind the leader from the Rock, gradually weakened after straightening. |
| 10 | 2 | JET SET DRAGON (S384) | R Fourie | SR | Closer up early stages before shuffled back behind midfield around the 1000-metre bend, travelled 3-wide but with cover down far side, made no impression from a similar position into straight. |
| 11 | 12 | DELIGHT FORTUNE (N402) | C K Tong | SR/V | Never on terms. |
| 12 | 1 | GIDDY GIDDY (S367) | N Rawiller | H/TT | Briefly in front after leaving the widest gate, remained prominent to straight, folded up quickly. |
