Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | HAPPEE OWNER (CE230) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Had a nice run on the fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd before sweeping to the front 100 M out, all out to get the verdict on the nod. |
| 2 | 8 | ROYAL DELIGHT (CG192) | S Dye | -- | 2-wide and 4Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, a little closer on straightening, a neck down in 2nd at 200 M, ran on strongly and missed out on bob of heads. |
| 3 | 4 | ALL'S WELL (CE234) | G Mosse | -- | 6Ls off pace in midfield at 1000 M, 5Ls back still in midfield when short of room at top of homestretch, never quite got to quinella pair. (Mucus.) |
| 4 | 1 | HELENE PILLAGING (CC084) | K L Chui | TT | Always prominent, 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1000 M, quickened up well to lead 250 M out but headed again at 100 M by winner, lost out on a place late. |
| 5 | 3 | PLANET RULER (CB359) | C Williams | -- | 3-back on fence when 5Ls off pace in 5th down the back, 4Ls down entering home turn, stayed on quite well but always outpaced by placed horses. |
| 6 | 5 | MY CHOICE (CC283) | R Fradd | -- | 4-back on fence around midfield about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, ran on as gamely as ever in homestretch but lacked the dash of principals. |
| 7 | 12 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | A Delpech | SR | On fence about 8Ls off speed in rear, steadied at 800 M and 600 M, 6Ls back in 11th or so taking final bend, one-paced final 200 M. |
| 8 | 7 | FOKINE (CE072) | R Hills | TT | 4-wide no cover in rear down the back, pressed on at 800 M to go 4Ls off pace in midfield turning for home, given little hope with the ride and tired final 200 M. |
| 9 | 10 | NOBLE CRUSADER (CD286) | M Odendaal | TT | Led on fence by 1L at 1000 M, headed 250 M out and tired late. |
| 10 | 11 | VIVA MACAU (CH110) | M Nunes | SR1 | Worse than midfield about 7Ls off pace and 3-wide no cover until the 800 M, 4Ls down at 200 M but no extra late. |
| 11 | 13 | NOBLE MAN (CC099) | H W Lai | -- | Settled in rear about 8Ls off speed, pushed out 4-wide turning for home, 4Ls down at 200 M but no extra late. |
| 12 | 9 | LIBERAL'S KNIGHT (CE272) | F Coetzee | -- | Switched from wide gate to fence in rear about 9Ls from the front, still in rear turning for home, never dangerous. |
| 13 | 14 | SPECIAL KING PRAWN (CD212) | S K Sit | TT | Awkward break and keen early, always in rear bunch and 8Ls off pace early, short of room at top of homestretch, never looked like taking a hand. |
