| 1 | 11 | WIND DAMPER (CK320) | Z Purton | -- | Travelled within 2Ls of the pace one-off the stand's rail. Shifted in for clear running from 400M and hit front 150M. Pushed by the 2nd placegetter but kept on strongly to score victory. |
| 2 | 4 | POWER RETURN (CK039) | B Prebble | -- | Stayed within 3Ls of the speed on stand's rail. Picked up well passing 350M. Looked dangerous at 150M but was always held by a narrow margin. |
| 3 | 9 | SUPREME TAIJI (L065) | J Lloyd | -- | Slow to begin. Raced amongst runners at midfield early. Commenced his run from 400M. Ran on well but couldn't match on terms with the front pair. Clung on for 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | WIN A DOZEN (CH262) | T H So | TT | Always within 3Ls of the leading section. One-paced to conclude. |
| 5 | 2 | ELITE FORTUNE (CJ212) | B Doyle | -- | Began awkwardly and raced 4Ls back early and middle stages. Weaved through horses to make his run from 400M and finished off fairly well. |
| 6 | 5 | FASCINATING SMILE (CK335) | G Cheyne | -- | Away in line. Steadied near 900M and was 4Ls away on stand's rail. Under pressure passing 400M and gave some response. Covered minor ground late. |
| 7 | 7 | LOADS OF JOY (L088) | G Mosse | -- | Quickly into stride. Took lead on stand's rail passing 800M. Hung on until peaked 200M. |
| 8 | 13 | GUAN DAO (CH211) | M L Yeung | CO | 3Ls away behind midfield early. Pressed from 500M but kept at the same pace. Beat tired rivals home. |
| 9 | 12 | THINK BIG (CK295) | W C Marwing | SR1/H1/TT | Raced towards rear down the centre of the track. Couldn't turn up a notch when the race got serious. |
| 10 | 3 | NOBLE DE LAGO (CJ150) | W M Lai | B/TT | Raced beside the leader until faded passing 400M. |
| 11 | 8 | MIGHTY FEELING (L025) | D Whyte | -- | At midfield towards centre of the track early and middle stages. No response when asked passing 400M. |
| 12 | 14 | SINGLE MALT (CK110) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Midfield early but gradually dropped to rear passing midpoint. Never likely. |
| 13 | 1 | THUNDER FLASH (CG270) | A Gryder | B/TT | In front rank until struggled 400M from home. |
