| 1 | 7 | COTTON BALL (CD327) | G Schofield | -- | Pressed on out 3-wide no cover to dispute lead at 1400 M, led on fence at 1200 M and clear by 1L until headed at top of home straight, rallied well inside final 50 M. (Lame.) |
| 2 | 8 | LEGIONNAIRE (CD263) | W M Lai | SR | Pressed on out 3-wide no cover from midfield to go 1L down in 2nd at 1000 M, led at top of home straight, headed 200 M out, kept on well for 2nd. |
| 3 | 2 | KING OF FIELD (CC195) | D Whyte | SR/H | 2-wide with cover in mid-division 5Ls down the back, improved out 3-wide no cover from 800 M to be 2Ls down under pressure into stretch, led 200 M out, headed 100 M out, no extra. |
| 4 | 13 | SYLLABUS (CD388) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Slowest away, on fence between 8Ls and 10Ls last until the 800 M, 6Ls down in 9th at top of home straight, kept on strongly on fence late, not beaten far at all. |
| 5 | 11 | TREASURE FIELD (CA236) | K W Tsui | TT | Keen when 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 1400 M, shuffled back 4Ls behind in midfield from 800 M to home straight, 2Ls down in 5th at 200 M, kept on well late without reaching principals. |
| 6 | 4 | TOP PRIZE (CC097) | B Prebble | BO | Worse than midfield about 7Ls off pace through first half, same when 4-wide (widest of all) turning for home, made some late ground but never seriously troubled leaders. |
| 7 | 3 | OUT OF MY WAY (CC374) | O Doleuze | CP1 | 2-wide and 3Ls off pace in 4th or 5th until the 800 M, closer entering straight but outpaced through final 300 M. |
| 8 | 10 | SNIPER (CD110) | S Dye | -- | 2-wide and niggled along when 4Ls off pace at 900 M, 3Ls down in midfield entering straight, one-paced thereafter. |
| 9 | 5 | SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) | C Williams | -- | Always towards rear about 7Ls or 8Ls off pace until the 800 M, shuffled back 700 M out and still 7Ls down into home straight, without racing room from 200 M to 100 M, never nearer. |
| 10 | 9 | DIVINE FEELING (CA355) | H W Lai | -- | Disputed lead out 2-wide early on, 3Ls off pace in 5th at 800 M and same entering straight, failed to quicken up. |
| 11 | 1 | SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) | A Delpech | SR/V | 10Ls off pace in last at 1600 M, one from rear 9Ls behind at 800 M and entering straight, ran on only fairly late without threatening. |
| 12 | 12 | SHINING LIGHT (CD119) | S K Sit | B | Disputed lead early on, 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 1200 M, under pressure to hold this prominent spot from 700 M to top of home straight, faded steadily thereafter. |
| 13 | 6 | SUPER DANA (CC293) | C Brown | B | 3-back the fence in 6th when 4Ls off pace at 1400 M, struggling when 7Ls down near the rear entering straight, soon well beaten and eased close home. |
