| 1 | 10 | AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) | D Whyte | B | 2-wide with cover about 6Ls behind early pace in 8th or so, tracked CENTENNIAL SMILE 3-wide with cover into home turn, kept on well to lead inside final few strides. |
| 2 | 4 | CENTENNIAL SMILE (CG165) | G Boss | CP | 10Ls last at 1000 M behind a slow pace, pressed on 3-wide no cover from the 700 M to join leaders at top of home straight, had his chance and only just failed. |
| 3 | 8 | VINCERE (CE324) | Z Purton | CP | Sat 2-wide outside leader and 1L from the pace until the 600 M, driven along to lead 250 M out, headed inside final 100 M and only just missed the quinella. |
| 4 | 3 | MEATH (CE143) | K Shea | SR/V | One from rear about 8Ls back at the 1000 M, improved soon after but 6-wide (widest of all) turning for home, stayed on fairly well for 4th. |
| 5 | 9 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | M Nunes | SR | Dwelt at start, on fence 6Ls back in 9th at halfway, 3Ls back in midfield swinging for home, outpaced by principals. |
| 6 | 12 | FRONTIER (CH023) | Y T Cheng | SR/TT | Led on fence 1300 M out, set a very slow tempo until final bend, headed 250 M out and weakened, no excuses. |
| 7 | 6 | G-ONE LEADING (CE306) | F Coetzee | -- | Midfield with cover about 4Ls behind leader until the 600 M, could only finish off one-paced along the inner. |
| 8 | 1 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | W M Lai | B | Nicely placed in one-out-one-back position in 4th until the 600 M, lacked a kick when it mattered. |
| 9 | 5 | CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) | G Mosse | B | 4-back on fence in 7th at the 1000 M, shuffled back to last turning for home, never on terms thereafter. |
| 10 | 2 | NAMJONG GOODLUCK (CE267) | K L Chui | B | 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off pace at 1000 M, worse off and crowded turning for home, no impression. |
| 11 | 11 | CHINSOLA (CD328) | H W Lai | B/TT | Had the box-seat position on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd until the 600 M, soon came under pressure to keep up and beaten before the home turn. (Heart Irregularity.) |
