| 1 | 3 | KAO AND MING (CD023) | O Doleuze | B | Jumped with rest, didn't show early speed and faded back to rear, raced 5Ls back in 2 wide spot, still back on circle making 3 wide run, came with strong sprint at 250 M to close over top and score comfortably. |
| 2 | 6 | NAMJONG SMILE (CG181) | G Mosse | PC | Standard break, drifted back towards rear shortly after start, shared tail before improving 3 wide with cover 4Ls off leaders, angled 4 wide turning in, didn't show much dash but stuck on gamely for 2nd. |
| 3 | 5 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | M Odendaal | -- | Standard to begin, settled in midfield 3 wide without cover, 3 to 4Ls away posted wide and working throughout, still coming on bend, didn't quicken but steadily took ground off leader to fill place late. |
| 4 | 2 | OPERA MAGIC (CB404) | C W Wong | B | Awkward to begin, soon mustered and pressed on wider to take close order, continued on and used up to work around and hit lead, tried to back off on bend, kicked strongly turning in, ran out of gas but stuck on well to make frame. |
| 5 | 8 | TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) | H K Yim | -- | Average to begin, restrained from a wide barrier to be taken in behind runners, raced on rails 5Ls back throughout, in traffic turning in, shifted into clear and made good ground down middle giving too much start. |
| 6 | 9 | BIG WINNER (CD229) | M Nunes | B/TT | Moderate break, did enough to hold position just behind speed, raced 2 wide 2Ls back in nice trail throughout, came to inside into straight and held up to 200 M, only finished fairly when clear. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 7 | 4 | ALWAYS HAPPY (CE085) | F Coetzee | B/TT | Fast into stride, drove through to take up early lead, pressured throughout and eventually handed up lead at midpoint, raced outside leader to turn, had chance but didn't finish off and simply battled to line. |
| 8 | 1 | KAISER'S PRIZE (CD350) | C K Tong | -- | Began nicely, pushed on wide early to cross to running line, had cover in middle stages before taking up role at leader's girth on bend, close enough turning in but unable to offer much fight and weakened out late. |
| 9 | 10 | FIGHT BACK (CE058) | H W Lai | B/TT | Jumped with them, didn't have a lot of early speed and held 2 wide spot 4Ls away, always well back to bend, held up turning in but found little when placed under pressure and plugged to line. |
| 10 | 7 | REWARDING STAR (CG234) | K L Chui | -- | Amongst them early, punched up to hold early leaders back, uncomfortable and began to give ground at midpoint, lost further touch on bend and dropped right out in straight. (Mucopus.) |
