| 1 | 6 | GALLANT FALCON (CD194) | O Doleuze | TT | Slow to begin, taken in behind to obtain cover, drove through to take up spot 4 back on rails 4Ls away, used nothing in run, eased wide on turn and sprinted over the top of them in straight to score good win. Good ride. |
| 2 | 3 | FIGHTING MASCOT (CB426) | G Schofield | -- | Broke with field, restrained to rearward position, settled 4th from tail 5Ls away in 2 wide spot, restrained well and travelled comfortably to turn. Came with strong run widest in straight overhaulling all but winner. |
| 3 | 10 | ARMONDO (CB387) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | First away, taken straight to rail to find cover, settled behind the leader racing ungenerously early, enjoyed run of race in mid-section, on bridle to turn, came through split in straight but lacked dash to capitalise. |
| 4 | 9 | TOP SCORER (CE110) | B Prebble | TT | Away well, showed speed to be prominent early, held spot at leaders girth (pace slow early), pressured leader throughout, speed quickened from 600 M, hit lead in straight and held on to 100 M but faded late. |
| 5 | 1 | SHINY RIBBON (CE173) | F Coetzee | CP1/TT | Fast into stride, pressed on early to take up 1 out 1 back spot 2Ls off lead, enjoyed good run mid-race, niggled along from 600 M when speed quickened, kept coming and hit line strongly without 100% racing room. |
| 6 | 5 | FAIR WIN (CE027) | D Whyte | B | Standard beginning, mustered speed to settle down 3 back on fence 3Ls from pace, had great trip spending nothing in run, followed fence in straight and made some ground but struggled to make impression late. |
| 7 | 12 | MEATH (CE143) | Y T Cheng | B/SR | Broke with field, pushed along to take up closer spot, trapped 3 wide without cover midfield, pressure on to sit outside leaders 1/2L away 3 wide, always working and still in mix to 200 M but couldn't sustain effort late. |
| 8 | 8 | KA KA WIN (CD006) | S Dye | B | Slow to begin, drifted back to 2nd last spot 2 wide 7-8Ls from lead, raced at tail throughout, stoked up from 600 M, had field to beat on home turn, got going late and made good ground to be closest at finish. |
| 9 | 7 | CAPITALAND (CE152) | H K Yim | -- | Began awkwardly, drifted back to tail, settled on rails 7Ls from pace (didn't settle), made 3 wide run from 800 M, had cover from 600 M, came 4 wide on turn, in mix until 150 M but wide run took toll and faded out. |
| 10 | 2 | MAVERICK STAR (CE279) | H W Lai | -- | Average to begin, ridden up to hold midfield spot 4-5Ls away, raced 2 wide with cover in mid-section, under pressure making run 3 and 4 wide from 400 M, raced one-paced in straight and didn't threaten. |
| 11 | 4 | AMBITIOUS TYCOON (CB157) | W M Lai | B2 | Began well from widest gate, hard ridden and showed good speed to cross to lead, backed speed off nicely in mid-section, pressured from 200 M and kept giving until 200 M before workload took toll and dropped out. |
| 12 | 11 | RIGHT CHOICE (CE102) | M W Leung | -- | Began fairly, lacked early speed and drifted back to settle in rearward division on rail 6Ls away, shuffled back to near last on turn. Gave nothing over last 300 M. Poor. |
