| 1 | 6 | MARK UP (CK247) | G Mosse | -- | Behind midfield early, switched to 3-wide approaching the back straight and moved closer to leaders in a slowly run race, picked up gradually under a forceful ride and got to the front inside 100 M. |
| 2 | 11 | SHIFACHI TRADITION (L013) | D Whyte | H-/B/TT1 | Held up in midfield along the fence, had a ground saving trip throughout, steadily gathered momentum up the inside but just found one too good. |
| 3 | 1 | EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) | T H So | TT | Tracked leader from early on, in a good striking position leaving the home bend and had every chance down the inside, finished evenly and not beaten far. |
| 4 | 7 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | F Coetzee | TT | Soon led along the inside and controlled the pace under restraint, nudged along nearing 400 M, rallied on when pressed by rivals in straight, hung on to the lead till 100 M and faded late stages. |
| 5 | 5 | ABLE SPEED (CK210) | D Beadman | B/H/TT | Closest to the pace outside leader, benefited from the slow pace and had a soft run to straight, held on well to 100 M and weakened late stages. |
| 6 | 12 | SLEEP WELL (CK036) | C Lemaire | XB/TT | Slow to begin but not hurried, placed towards the rear 5Ls off the pace, took time to pick up in straight and found his best stride too late. |
| 7 | 10 | DRAGON FIGHTER (L260) | B Prebble | -- | Away in good order and sat handily just off the pace, didn't have a sudden acceleration but kept battling on behind leaders till final 50 M when running out of room. |
| 8 | 8 | FLYING IN (CK120) | N Callan | B | Raced in mid-division for the first 800 M, not helped by the slow pace and shuffled back to a position towards the rear, ran on one-paced final 300 M and not getting any closer to the leaders. |
| 9 | 3 | FORTUNE RED PEPPER (CK199) | C Y Ho | -- | Guided to the inside early while being settled in the rear well off the pace, unsuited by the slow tempo and had to wait for an opening until 350 M, made some progress from near last. |
| 10 | 4 | HAPPY TUMBLER (L048) | T Angland | XB | Urged early to secure a 2-wide midfield position, well covered to the straight, was about to pick up but unable to obtain clear running final 200 M, not properly tested. |
| 11 | 9 | FOREVER ELATION (CK215) | M Guyon | B2/TT- | Raced 3-wide without cover in the second flight, made a brief bid turning into straight, faded gradually over the final 200 M. |
| 12 | 2 | SAPELLI (CK191) | J Lloyd | -- | Switched off to last after the start, 6Ls behind leader passing 400 M but couldn't pick up under pressure. |
