| 1 | 5 | EYE WITNESS (CG027) | F Coetzee | TT | Disputed lead out 3-wide no cover early on, got in 2-wide disputing advantage from 1000 M to home turn, dug in gamely to poke head in front at 200 M, just hung on. |
| 2 | 13 | KNIGHT TEMPLAR (CC021) | G Schofield | CP-/B1 | Held up in rear about 6Ls or 7Ls off speed until the 600 M, 3-wide on straightening when 4Ls back in 12th, ran on very strongly down the outside to take 2nd on line. |
| 3 | 7 | WAIT FOR ME (CE332) | C Soumillon | B1/TT | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off the pace in 4th or so until the home straight, laboured to quicken up and still 1L down in 4th at 200 M, could only keep on at same pace. |
| 4 | 3 | A PLUS FIT (CD013) | S Dye | B | Disputed lead on fence from 1200 M to top of home straight, battled gamely but still gave way by a neck at 200 M, kept on one-paced. |
| 5 | 12 | SPARKLE (CB406) | H W Lai | V | 3-wide with cover when 2Ls back in 4th at 1200 M, left 3-wide no cover from 800 M and a neck down in 3rd taking home turn, still stuck on pretty well despite the wide trip. |
| 6 | 9 | BOREAS (CE086) | D Whyte | -- | 3Ls down in 6th when 2-wide at 1200 M, about 2Ls back in 5th when 3-wide on straightening, 1L down in 4th at the 200 M, no extra. |
| 7 | 2 | LUCKY STALLION (CA249) | C K Tong | CP | Stumbled slightly on jumping, a neck down in 2nd at 1200 M, settled over 2Ls down in 5th at the 800 M and same margin back in midfield at final bend, outpaced by principals. |
| 8 | 1 | CHINSOLA (CD328) | G Mosse | B | Mostly midfield about 3Ls off the pace through the 600 M, 4-wide when over 2Ls down at final bend and headway to 1L back at the 200 M but couldn't sustain the run. |
| 9 | 14 | STAR OF NORTHERN (CD173) | K H Chan | V/TT | On fence 4Ls back in 8th at 1200 M when 3-wide, closer just 2Ls down at 800 M and improved to be 4-wide and 1L down taking home turn, flattened out inside final 200 M. |
| 10 | 10 | PO ON GEM (CE164) | O Doleuze | -- | Towards rear at least 3Ls or 4Ls off the speed through to home straight, always outpaced. |
| 11 | 6 | NAMJONG GOODLUCK (CE267) | H K Yim | CP1 | Steadied at start, on the fence about 3Ls back in midfield until home turn, plugged on at the same speed on the rails. |
| 12 | 8 | POSA (CE337) | C Munce | SR | 8Ls last at 1200 M, trying to make some ground when checked on straightening and left 7Ls last, never recovered. |
| 13 | 4 | SOLAR POWER (CE047) | C W Wong | SR | Left 4-wide no cover at the 800 M when 3Ls down in midfield, couldn't get in and pitched out 5-wide (widest of all) taking home turn, weakened inside final 200 M. |
| 14 | 11 | MASONIC TREASURE (CE294) | C Brown | CP-/B1 | Worse than midfield about 4Ls off the pace until the home straight, gone well over 200 M out, eased down late. |
