Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | REAL SPECIAL (CH320) | F Coetzee | B/XB | Fast away, went forward to look for lead, sat 1L back 2 wide, enjoyed an even trip when pace slackened, same margin back turn, went to lead at 200 M and fought strongly to hold off late challenger. |
| 2 | 1 | DANESIS (CH194) | B Prebble | TT | Even getaway, took a nice spot 4Ls of early speed, enjoyed run of race in mid-section, angled 3 wide leaving bend, made plenty of ground in straight to narrowly go down. Well clear of 3rd. |
| 3 | 4 | FLORAL NIRVANA (CH232) | K L Chui | TT | Out with rest, ended up in midfield 5Ls back, advantaged early but unsuited when tempo slowed, shuffled back on bend, made solid progress when clear at 250 M but couldn't match first two. |
| 4 | 3 | MASTERY (CC176) | G Mosse | TT | No pace as usual, raced in rear division 7Ls back on rails, not helped when pace slowed in mid-section, saved ground on bend, worked home nicely along fence making good ground for 4th. |
| 5 | 11 | THE GOODIES (CH097) | H W Lai | TT | Slowly away and lost considerable ground, ended up 8Ls back near rear, pace against and made a 3 wide move on circle, came 5 wide turning and worked home evenly down centre to be nearest on line. |
| 6 | 2 | HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) | O Doleuze | B/XB/TT | Began well and soon after took up running, pressured a little early but had an easy time thereafter when pace slackened, controlled race to bend, 1L clear turning, there to 250 M but had no dash and just held ground late. |
| 7 | 9 | NASA PEARL (CC068) | K T Yeung | -- | Even getaway, slotted in to a spot 4Ls back on rails, had an even run in middle stages, angled 2 wide on bend, no turn of foot in straight and just stuck on at same speed. |
| 8 | 7 | FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) | G Boss | B | Standard beginning, ended up behind midfield 6Ls back, not helped by standard speed, made a move 3 wide on bend, within striking distance but lacked usual finishing burst and weakened out tamely in straight. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 9 | 6 | SIR LAGO (CH268) | C Soumillon | B | Slow to begin and lost ground when checked, raced 10Ls back at rear, unsuited by tempo in mid-section, still well back to bend, found little in run home just battling in straight. |
| 10 | 5 | COURAGEOUSHEART (CD202) | D Beadman | B/TT | Bounced out, had a look for lead but settled for trail 2Ls away on rails, had an even run after working early, same margin back on turning, no dash in straight and plugged home last 300 M. |
| 11 | 8 | KING HOGAN (CE257) | E Saint-Martin | B | Standard jump, raced 3 wide in midfield without cover 5Ls back, improved when pace slackened, 3Ls back turning, couldn't dash and weakened out after a hard run. |
