Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | ALL THRILLS TOO (CA100) | S Dye | -- | Held up in midfield through early stages, improved to sit 2.5Ls off pace 400 M out, delivered telling run from just over 200 M to hit front over 50 M out, cleverly. |
| 2 | 4 | SOLID CONTACT (BP168) | R Fradd | -- | Always prominent racing close to fence, took up running 350 M out, very strong chance 200 M out, all out but grabbed by ALL THRILLS TOO about 50 M from line, game effort. |
| 3 | 2 | KENWOOD MELODY (BV014) | G Mosse | B | Took a while to get into race, niggled along from 800 M to 600 M to lie up, kept on well to be nearest finish. |
| 4 | 5 | CHARMING CITY (BT182) | B Marcus | B1 | Always prominent 1.5Ls off pace in centre of track, every chance 200 M out, not come on. |
| 5 | 13 | SPARKY (BT125) | K H Ting | B | Not break well and last early on 6Ls off pace and furthest from the inside rail, stayed on well closing stages to 4.5Ls down 400 M out and 2.5Ls down 200 M out, nearest finish. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 6 | 7 | PLENTY-PLENTY (BS191) | W M Lai | -- | Raced about 4Ls off pace throughout, made some headway through beaten horses inside final 200 M out but never looked like a landing blow. |
| 7 | 3 | KING OF DANES (CA138) | F Coetzee | TT | Broke well and soon led by 1L until 400 M out when overhauled by SOLID CONTACT 350 M, weakened quickly thereafter and well beaten at line. |
| 8 | 9 | OUR CLASS (CA086) | S K Sit | B/TT | Away well and raced close to pace in 3rd early, part of a main group of 6 or 7 chances 400 M out, soon under pressure and found nothing. |
| 9 | 8 | WINNING COUNTER (CA008) | A Marcus | BO | Never more than 1.5Ls off pace and still well there 400 M out, failed to quicken again and dropped away tamely. |
| 10 | 1 | ORIENTAL EXPRESS (BP187) | E Legrix | B | Kept close to early pace, pushed to find another gear 400 M out, one-paced and finished eased down. |
| 11 | 11 | CHAMP DE UNION (CB001) | M W Leung | SR | Held up one from rear early before tacking onto main group 3Ls off pace 400 M out, effort from 400 M marker but made little impact and became detached again from 200 M out. |
| 12 | 12 | TAJASUR (BV236) | D Dunn | -- | Raced up with pace until 400 M out, not come on and backpedalled markedly final stages. |
| 13 | 6 | LUCKY WIN (CB093) | J Egan | -- | Raced prominently on rail 1L off pace until 500 M out when niggled to keep effort going, swamped by rivals 350 M out, came home in own time as if something amiss. (See Racing Incidents.) |
