Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | NOBLE HEART (CC355) | B Prebble | B/TT | Travelled well on fence 3 and 4-back in midfield between 3Ls and 5Ls off pace until home turn, dug in well along fence to lead inside final 50 M. |
| 2 | 7 | WHIPLASH (CG072) | C K Tong | -- | Led early on before handing up to race about 1L back in 2nd on fence at 1000 M, led again at top of homestretch out 2-wide, fended off all comers except NOBLE HEART inside final 50 M. |
| 3 | 12 | SUPER HONEY (CE187) | A Delpech | B/H | Had the run of the race in 4th at 1100 M, mostly within 2Ls of the speed on fence in 4th until final turn, every chance 200 M despite hanging in slightly, did just enough for a place. |
| 4 | 9 | ROYAL FALCON (CE091) | C Soumillon | B/TT | No early speed and raced 10Ls last out 2-wide until the 600 M, 6Ls last entering stretch, responded to strong handling to run on strongly and only just miss 3rd. |
| 5 | 1 | SUNBELL (CB391) | A Starke | -- | On fence 6Ls off speed in 9th at 1000 M, about 5Ls down turning for home, made some fair late ground on the inner but never appeared likely to place. |
| 6 | 5 | ADD THE FUN (CD308) | C W Wong | B | Caught 3-wide no cover early so pressed on to lead by a neck at 1100 M and led by 1L on fence at 900 M, headed at top of home straight and one-paced final 200 M. |
| 7 | 6 | SYDNEY EXPRESS (CG052) | G Mosse | B | 2-wide and 4Ls back in 6th at 1000 M, a little closer in 5th taking home bend, disappointing finish given the soft trip. |
| 8 | 4 | WISE LOVER (CE095) | D Whyte | B | 5Ls back in 8th and 2-wide at 1000 M, 4Ls down in 8th on straightening, one-paced on the run-in. |
| 9 | 10 | TOY QUEST (CC036) | S Dye | -- | Very slow away losing about 3Ls, soon about 10Ls last on fence, 6Ls down turning for home, minor headway when short of room at 200 M, closest at finish. |
| 10 | 11 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | Y T Cheng | B | 7Ls back when 3-wide with cover at 1000 M, nudged along to make some ground on the circle, 3-wide and 5Ls down on straightening, no further improvement. |
| 11 | 3 | ESPERANZA (CG159) | D Nikolic | -- | Always tended to lay out, pressed on early to race 2-wide and 2Ls back in 3rd at 1100 M, still close up turning for home but fading at the 200 M and dropped out. |
| 12 | 8 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | M Nunes | V | Always 3-wide no cover, about 3Ls or 4Ls off speed in midfield until home straight, soon tired and gone by the 200 M. |
