Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | BEST GIFT (CD296) | Y T Cheng | TT | Awkward to begin and lost ground, settled 10Ls from lead 4th last on rails, had easy run in middle stages, came 2 wide on turn and 3 wide in straight, got clear passing 250 M and gathered them in like a good horse. |
| 2 | 3 | TIBER (CD155) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Fairly away but showed speed to hold forward position. 1 out 1 back 4th 4Ls off lead with cover, given charmed run throughout, peeled wider on entering straight, hit lead passing 200 M and just failed to hold off winner. |
| 3 | 11 | SAMBUCA (CD189) | D Whyte | -- | Began with them, positioned well 6th 2 wide 6Ls from lead, enjoyed good trip to turn, came 4 off in straight and sprinted well just failing to match first two. |
| 4 | 9 | GREEN TREASURE (CD225) | O Doleuze | -- | Slowly away, gathered speed to settle 7th 2 wide 7Ls from lead, spent nothing in run, tracked wide in straight and made steady ground in straight. |
| 5 | 2 | VENGEANCE OF RAIN (CD142) | A Delpech | TT | Began fairly, taken back from awkward draw, settled 3rd last 2 wide 11Ls from lead, tracked along well to turn made run along fence in straight only warning up final 200 M. Needs longer. |
| 6 | 1 | BULLISH LUCK (CC155) | G Mosse | B | Broke fairly, taken back from widest gate, positioned last 2 wide 12Ls from lead, held up when attempting to improve on turn and in early straight, extended well over final 200 M when clear. |
| 7 | 6 | PERFECT PARTNER (CD163) | F Coetzee | TT | Began well, crossed from wide gate to sit 2nd at leaders heels (good solid tempo), gave leader 2Ls thereafter, loomed up to take lead passing 300 M but quickly headed and battled thereafter. |
| 8 | 14 | FIGURES (CC307) | C Munce | SR1 | Easily best to begin, showed speed to cross and lead with 2Ls advantage (solid tempo), continued to run along through- out, pressured at top of straight and gave best but early pace took its toll and failed to finish off. |
| 9 | 13 | GEM OF INDIA (CC008) | W M Lai | -- | Away with them, positioned well 5th on fence 5Ls from front- runners, had soft run in middle section, asked to improve at top of stretch, didn't have 100% clear running but was one paced nevertheless. |
| 10 | 8 | THE DUKE (CB282) | C Brown | -- | Jumped well, caught wide and restrained to worse than midfield, 3rd last 2 wide 11L from lead thereafter, tracked 3 wide entering straight but couldn't sprint to make up ground. |
| 11 | 10 | SATURN (CD154) | R Fradd | H | Tardy to leave stalls, gathered good speed to hold spot behind leader 2Ls away, over-raced slightly in middle stages, failed to get clear running early in straight, couldn't match it inside last 200 M. |

| 13 | 5 | BOWMAN'S CROSSING (CB138) | B Prebble | SR | Away well, drifted back to settle 9th 2 wide 10Ls from front, made run 3 wide passing 500 M but offered little when asked and only hands and heels thereafter. |
