| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | PRESVIS (CK638) | R Moore | XB | Slowly away and switched off to the rear trailing over 10Ls early, had enormous tasks turning in but produced a breathtaking acceleration to cut down his rivals in the space of 300 M for a last to first victory. |
| 2 | 1 | VIVA PATACA (CG096) | D Beadman | H | Never far off the pace in a position ahead of midfield, shifted out for room prior to straightening, picked up strongly from 300 M out but was outrun by the impressive winner. |
| 3 | 7 | THUMBS UP (CK005) | C Soumillon | -- | Quietly ridden, settled well in a position behind midfield some 7Ls back, swung wide into straight, quickened well down the outside and was closing in on the 2nd at the line. Ran a cracking race in defeat. |
| 4 | 6 | CHINCHON (CK639) | O Doleuze | CP | Raced in midfield along the fence, had a smooth trip to bend but was carried wide from 500 M, took a while to gather up and stayed on well over the final 200 M. |
| 5 | 5 | PACKING WINNER (CE334) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Jumped well, improved round the field on the first turn to race alongside leader entering back straight, given a breather passing 1000 M, briefly hit front inside 200 M but despite running on well, couldn't fend off the pursuers. |
| 6 | 2 | ARCHIPENKO (CJ629) | K Shea | B/TT | In a 2-wide better than midfield position, over-raced in early stages but travelled well enough down the back straight, came with a strong looking challenge inside 400 M but effort just flattened out near the finish. |
| 7 | 9 | VIVA MACAU (CH110) | K T Yeung | CP/TT | Assumed the pacemaking role and took them along steadily, quickened up over the final turn to be 3Ls clear inside final 400 M, looked dangerous at one stage but couldn't hang on, headed near 250 M and found no extra thereafter. |
| 8 | 4 | NICONERO (CG635) | C Williams | SR | Taken back on jumping and patiently ridden in 2nd last, trailed 10Ls in early stages but took closer order approaching the home turn, kept on one-paced without ever looking dangerous. (Lame left front leg.) |
| 9 | 10 | DANESIS (CH194) | F Coetzee | TT | Travelled outside the lead in early stages before easing back to race 2 to 3Ls off the pace down the back straight, moved closer turning in, had every chance but probably found this grade too stiff. Beaten near 300 M. |
| 10 | 8 | BULLISH CASH (CH049) | B Prebble | TT | Settled in midfield 5 to 6Ls back, carried wide making the final turn and as a consequence covered extra ground, outpaced from 400 M. |
