| 1 | 6 | HAPPEE GIFT (CH313) | D Beadman | XB/H | Urged to race amongst leaders after start. Eased to a prominent spot from approaching the Rock. Kept chasing the leader in the straight and was nicely on top near the finish. |
| 2 | 3 | PAR EXCELLENCE (CK020) | D Whyte | SR/TT | Raced within 3Ls of the pace near the rail through to the home straight. Responded well and ran on strongly to snatch 2nd final strides. |
| 3 | 1 | BELONG TO CASA (CJ064) | T H So | -- | Soon in the front rank but trapped 4-wide. Shaken up and raced outside the leader passing 700 M. Led by 2Ls turning in. Held on until overhauled by the front pair closing stages. |
| 4 | 4 | THUNDER FLASH (CG270) | G Mosse | B/TT | Pushed to hold lead on fence early. Shared lead 700 M out. Build a 2Ls gap turning into home. Couldn't sustain final furlong and just held 4th. |
| 5 | 12 | JUST RIGHT (CH300) | G Cheyne | SR | In the leading section early. Settled one-out-one-back from 650 M. Made steady progress in the straight and just missed out on 4th. |
| 6 | 5 | TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) | K C Leung | P-/CP2 | Began well but trapped wide. Slotted into a 2-wide position at midfield near 800 M. Took inside run and was 4Ls down turning in. Unable to turn up a notch. |
| 7 | 8 | FIONN'S DRAGON (L046) | B Doyle | TT1 | Raced 2-wide behind midfield through to the home turn and was 7Ls away into final stretch. Made up good ground late and was steadied closing stages. |
| 8 | 7 | BUSHWHACKER (CK153) | B Prebble | CP | Travelled 3-wide behind midfield through to the home straight. Couldn't pull out extra under pressure. |
| 9 | 2 | FLY HIGH (CH126) | Y T Cheng | V | Poor start, ridden to race 3-wide without cover at midfield through to the home straight. Peaked final furlong. (Dynamic pharyngeal collapse.) |
| 10 | 9 | PERFECT FIT (CK323) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Steadied after start and failed to muster. Over 10Ls behind the speed rounding the bend. Beat tired runners only. |
| 11 | 11 | SHOWTIME (CK278) | J Lloyd | B1/TT1 | Jumped awkwardly and raced greenly at rear throughout. Never a factor. |
| 12 | 10 | PROSPERITY KID (CK321) | J Winks | -- | Towards rear early and middle stages. Struggled home. |
