| 1 | 3 | GROOM RAIDER (CD329) | C Brown | -- | Took the lead shortly after start and held a length's advantage into home straight. Fought gamely over the concluding stages to deny challengers. |
| 2 | 1 | CALIFORNIA PRINCE (CD079) | B Prebble | TT | 2-wide and stayed within a length of the pace until home straight. Kept pressure on the eventual winner over the final stages but couldn't find enough to run it down. |
| 3 | 10 | STRONG GAIN (CE317) | N Ryan | -- | Settled in a rearward position and was last to enter home straight. Held up for a run until 250 M but finished the race strongly after finding daylight. |
| 4 | 5 | DILIGENT (CC285) | A Delpech | CP | Settled last on fence until 500 M. Switched out to find clear runner and made a late rally to be closest at finish. |
| 5 | 7 | KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) | D Whyte | B | Raced behind the pace early. Dropped to midfield near 900 M and was wide making home turn. Lacked the needed response in the straight. |
| 6 | 11 | HANDBAG PREMIER (CD137) | H W Lai | -- | Jumped fairly and was outpaced by front runners. Steadily dropped back and was 4-wide behind midfield heading into the turn. Widest turning in and steadily made up ground in the straight. |
| 7 | 8 | GRAND COMMANDS (CD300) | Y T Cheng | SR | 3-wide and kept within 3Ls of the leader. Continued to be 3-wide and was 2Ls down turning for home. Unable to turn up a notch in the straight and faded out of contention final stages. |

| 9 | 4 | HAPPY GO LAGO (CE310) | S Dye | -- | Hard ridden to keep pace with leaders early stages. Settled on fence behind the leader around the bend but unable to keep pace after straightening. Weakened final stages. |
| 10 | 12 | SPEEDING MOLLY (CC227) | M W Leung | SR/TT | Jumped awkwardly and got back. Ridden along in a rearward position and got near midfield making the turn. Stayed on same pace in the straight. |
| 11 | 6 | FLAME POWER (CG153) | W M Lai | -- | Jumped fairly and settled behind midfield. Steadied and lost ground near 600 M and was near the back on straightening. Lacked a response when asked and was crowded 350 M. Only ran past a beaten runner. |
| 12 | 2 | SHERIFF BAMBOO (CC257) | C K Tong | -- | Jumped well and raced among leaders early. Better than midfield heading into the turn and was 3 to 4Ls behind the pace. Hung out making home turn and weakened in the straight. |
