| 1 | 10 | SINGING DINERS (CH063) | E Saint-Martin | TT1 | Raced behind midfield. Switched out on straightening and quickened nicely. Stayed on well in the final stages to deny rival. |
| 2 | 6 | HURRAY HURRAY (CH010) | B Prebble | -- | Settled in rear section. Swung out wide turning for home and rallied home strongly. |
| 3 | 4 | ISLAND SPEED (CG202) | A Delpech | B | Disputed lead before gaining a clear advantage in front at 800 M. Continued to hold a slim advantage inside final 200 M but lacked the strength to hold off the top pair final stages. |
| 4 | 9 | OBVIOUSLY (CG085) | D Whyte | -- | Vied for the early lead before taking a sit behind leader at 800 M. Remained in a prominent spot behind the pace making home turn. Lacked the needed response to overtake leader after straightening. Kept on only fairly to make the frame. |
| 5 | 12 | WAFER KING (CD276) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Settled on fence behind midfield. Ran on and made up a bit of ground in the straight. |
| 6 | 11 | MOSHI MOSHI (CG255) | D Nikolic | TT1 | Settled towards the rear. Raced along the fence making home turn but had to be steered outwards to avoid traffic in the inside part of the track. Closed off strongly once finding daylight inside final 200 M. |
| 7 | 7 | CARE FREE MIDAS (CH053) | O Doleuze | -- | Ridden along early stages to race behind leaders. Hampered at 800 M and shuffled back to midfield. Ridden along to keep up until home turn and only kept on same pace in the straight. |
| 8 | 2 | KIMBERLEY MINES (CA367) | M Nunes | -- | Jumped well from a wide draw. Settled 2-wide in midfield backstraight. Hugged the rails turning for home but never picked up in the straight. Weakened final stages. |
| 9 | 3 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | K T Yeung | TT | Vied for the lead before taking a sit off the leader at 800 M. 2-wide and no more than 2Ls off the leader turning for home. Lacked a response in the straight and weakened. |
| 10 | 1 | GANBARIA (CE052) | F Coetzee | B | Caught wide amongst leaders early stages. Better than midfield and remained wide and without cover in back straight. Started to lose steam at home turn and weakened in the straight. |
| 11 | 5 | CHAMPION PIONEER (CG305) | A Starke | -- | Slowly away then was crowded and lost further ground. Raced at the rear throughout, hung out badly over final 600 M and made no impression in the straight. |
