| 1 | 8 | YELLOW DIAMOND (CD246) | C K Tong | B | Amongst first few out, took a trail behind pace pair, raced 2 wide in 4th 5 to 6Ls off tearaway leader, same distance back on turning, knuckled down to task and hit front at 200 M, went on with it to score in good fashion. |
| 2 | 9 | MAVERICK STAR (CE279) | Y T Cheng | -- | Average jump, lacked early pace and ended up in rearward division 10Ls back, suited by pace still gave a big start away on bend, came to middle in straight and closed off nicely making many lengths from an impossible spot. |
| 3 | 5 | COUNTRY MUSIC (CD035) | B Prebble | XB/TT | Well enough away, took a sit in midfield, raced 7Ls back in 2 wide line, tracked well on bend, made a strong run with 2nd horse but just peaked on run at 100 M. Better effort. |
| 4 | 3 | GREEN BIRDIE (CH245) | S Dye | -- | Average jump up, raced at tail 12Ls off pace, suited by fast tempo but set a big task taking off 3 wide at 600 M, widest bend and closed well down outside but didn't find last 200 M (note jockey explanation). |
| 5 | 1 | PLANET RULER (CB359) | G Mosse | B1 | Standard jump, outpaced by first few but took a trail 4Ls off hot speed on rails, had a fair run in 3rd to bend, urged along and briefly threatened at 300 M but was one paced thereafter. |
| 6 | 6 | LIBERAL'S KNIGHT (CE272) | F Coetzee | -- | Began with them but showed no early dash, settled behind midfield 8Ls down, suited by tempo, still back with last few turning, made steady ground before flattened out at 200 M and didn't run on late. |
| 7 | 7 | FOKINE (CE072) | O Doleuze | TT | Little speed from gates, raced behind midfield 6Ls back, improved to be 5th 4Ls back on turning, couldn't dash with them when sprint went on at 400 M and just plugged steadily in run to line. |
| 8 | 2 | NATURAL BLITZ (CE227) | D Whyte | H-/TT | Broke nicely and showed usual speed, couldn't cross as expected and raced 2Ls off pace at a solid speed, always working to chase to bend, led briefly at 300 M but run ended soon after and weakened right out. |
| 9 | 10 | SPECIAL KING PRAWN (CD212) | S K Sit | TT | Tardy to begin and lost considerable ground, raced at rear 10 to 12Ls back, helped by fast tempo, still well back with field to beat on bend, made minor progress in straight. |
| 10 | 4 | BILLET EXPRESS (CD140) | K T Yeung | H-/XB/TT | First to hit ground, showed plenty of pace to hold out noted speedster, set very fast pace in front, kept 2 to 3Ls clear leaving bend, stopped quickly at 300 M and dropped right out. (See Racing Incidents.) |
