| 1 | 6 | DUMBARTON ROCK (CJ228) | D Whyte | B2/TT | Overcame a wide barrier and led from 1100 M, pressed by other runners throughout, readily drew clear inside 300 M and established a significant advantage, kept on strongly and never challenged to the line. |
| 2 | 1 | IRISH JIG (CJ125) | D Beadman | TT | Held a rail position in midfield and travelled well to straight, quickened well final 300 M but couldn't peg back the runaway leader. |
| 3 | 8 | LEGEND (CK042) | B Prebble | -- | Jumped well then restrained to a 2-wide spot in midfield, took time to muster in early straight but stayed on well to go 3rd close home. |
| 4 | 10 | VIVA FIGHTER (CG307) | W M Lai | PC/TT | Broke well and crossed to a 2-wide position in the group chasing the pace, ran on final 300 M but turned flat in late stages and lost 3rd near the finish. |
| 5 | 7 | HANNAH KING PRAWN (CJ178) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Dropped back and taken across behind runners from draw 12, raced as the back marker 8Ls off the pace, swung widest into straight, picked up well inside 300 M without reaching leaders. |
| 6 | 12 | LUMINOUS (CE300) | M L Yeung | B | Ridden forward after the start, settled on the rail within striking distance, kept on same pace in straight and couldn't offer serious threat, hung in when tired over the closing stages. |

| 8 | 5 | FLUKE (CJ061) | H W Lai | -- | Kept to inside throughout and settled 5Ls behind leaders, angled out for a clear run soon on straightening but didn't get a clear crack till passing 200 M, lacked a response when required. |
| 9 | 11 | FORTUNE RED PEPPER (CK199) | Y T Cheng | B | Awkwardly away, had a rough run in early stages and ended up 4-wide without cover, strode forward after 1200 M to be alongside leader, outpaced and weakened rapidly 200 M out. |
| 10 | 4 | CHINA DRAGON (CL104) | J Victoire | -- | Towards the rear in 10th, had 6Ls to make up turning into straight but was placed in an unpromising position behind runners, checked 250 M and didn't response thereafter. |
| 11 | 3 | DORDENMA (CE333) | W C Marwing | TT1 | Slow to begin, improved round the outside of field on the 1st turn then pressed the pace in middle stages, under pressure inside 600 M and had nothing left turning home. |
| 12 | 2 | FULL OF JOY (CG293) | G Mosse | -- | Even break, never far off the pace but forced 3-wide passing 1200 M, outpaced from 600 M and weakened noticeably turning in straight. (Lame next day.) |
