Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | SPARKLING SWORD (P256) | J Moreira | H/TT | Rolled forward to park outside the leader at very slow sectionals, placed under pressure 600M, kept on strongly to score by a short head. |
| 2 | 9 | KITAYA (S187) | G Mosse | SR | Camped handy, travelled 1.5Ls behind the leader 3 wide without cover, found cover 600M, benefited by the very slow pace, ran on nicely for 2nd. |
| 3 | 2 | ROCK THE TREE (P272) | R Fourie | B | Prominent, travelled 2.5Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, suited by the very slow tempo, kept on steadily for 3rd. |
| 4 | 5 | SPIRIT SOARING (N099) | H N Wong | H/P/TT | Pushed forward to take the lead along the fence at very slow sectionals, kept on gamely until final furlong, hung on for 4th. |
| 5 | 12 | OXFORD CHARLEY (P266) | M Chadwick | V | Raced midfield, travelled 3Ls behind the leader 3 wide with cover, not suited by the very slow tempo, made no impression in straight. |
| 6 | 4 | GO-GETTER (S303) | N Rawiller | E/P | Rolled to obtain the box seat, despite the very slow pace, kept on only fairly, weakened final 100M. |
| 7 | 1 | BACKBENCH BLUES (P096) | Z Purton | SR/TT | Raced midfield, travelled 4Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, hampered by the very slow tempo, unable to make any ground in straight. |
| 8 | 7 | TELEPHATIA (P405) | M L Yeung | E/P/TT | Settled worse than midfield about 5Ls behind the leader on the fence, harmed by the very slow sectionals, never looked likely. |
| 9 | 6 | NEW SPEED AHEAD (T208) | T H So | -- | At rear, travelled 7.5Ls behind the leader on the fence, never ran on. |
| 10 | 8 | MEDIC MASTER (S363) | K C Leung | V | Near last, travelled 7Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, never looked competitive. |
| 11 | 11 | TRIPLE KING (T128) | C Schofield | B-/TT- | Raced midfield, travelled 4Ls behind the leader on the fence, well beaten rounding the Home Turn. |
| 12 | 10 | VITAL PRINCE (P397) | C K Tong | B | Eased to settle worse than midfield, 5Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, never a factor. |
