| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | ADORATION (M214) | Z Purton | B | Driven forward to race at the hindquarters of the leader, in front 300M and quickly scooted clear, kept on well over the final stages. |
| 2 | 10 | OPEN SESAME (CL091) | M Chadwick | TT | Guided to the fence and settled towards the rear, switched out 500M, responded well under hands and heels riding to get within half length of the winner at the line. (Jockey had his whip knocked off 300M.) |
| 3 | 3 | PERFECT SPRINT (CL107) | O Doleuze | TT | Dropped back to last soon after start, 6Ls to make up turning in, stayed on from off the pace to go 3rd a few strides from home. |
| 4 | 4 | LUNAR REFLECTIONS (CL009) | H W Lai | -- | Positioned 2-wide towards the rear, had every chance turning into straight, kept on evenly to line but not going the pace to seriously challenge. |
| 5 | 5 | JOYFUL WINNER II (M094) | B Prebble | TT | Positively ridden, handily placed in 4th just off the pace, couldn't quicken with the winner when the race got serious, one-paced final 200M and lost a placing close home. |
| 6 | 2 | LOMBARDI (CK406) | M L Yeung | B | Held up behind midfield and saved ground along the fence, angled out for a clear run 450M but lacked the speed to get on terms with the leaders. |
| 7 | 12 | SPEECHMAKER (M238) | W M Lai | TT | Restrained to a 2-wide position near the rear, swung widest into straight, made limited progress only and was never threatening. |
| 8 | 8 | LUCKY LEON (M166) | J Lloyd | B | 3Ls back in midfield along the inside, kept on at the same pace inside 400M, steadily weakened final stages. |
| 9 | 11 | MARK GOOD (M005) | B Doyle | -- | In mid-division, raced a shade keen in middle stages, kept on one-paced when driven out inside 400M. |
| 10 | 7 | WIN A DOZEN (CH262) | T Angland | TT | Quickly into stride, soon led and set a good pace in the first half, headed nearing 300M, no extra final 150M. |
| 11 | 9 | DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) | C Y Ho | H | Tracked leaders along the fence, not quickened when asked, weakened passing 200M. |
