| 1 | 1 | ROYAL PARTNER (N394) | Z Purton | TT | Settled nicely in midfield, moved to contention passing 500M, quickened well to lead 100M out, kept on well to the finish under determined riding. |
| 2 | 12 | GRIFFINDOR (P153) | A Atzeni | H/SB | Began awkwardly, crossed to the front 1100M, enjoyed an easy lead, kept grinding away when urged inside 250M, headed 100M out but fought on gamely to hold 2nd. |
| 3 | 9 | WAH MAY BABY (S247) | D Whyte | CP1/TT | Tracked leader in a slowly run race, kept up the chase final 300M and stayed on well for 3rd in a pleasing Happy Valley debut. |
| 4 | 11 | EXPEDITE (N111) | K Teetan | P-/H/XB/B2 | In mid-division 5-6Ls off leader in a slowly run race, peeled off the fence near 400M, closed off steadily, had to shift out for clear running 100M and got up for 4th near line. |
| 5 | 10 | CHEERS JOY (N184) | M Demuro | H | Never far off from leader, 4th going into home turn, advanced 3-wide, stayed on same pace over final 200M, hung in under pressure and was difficult to ride. |
| 6 | 8 | OSCAR MIRACLE (P431) | C Y Ho | TT | Tracked leaders along the fence, stayed on inside entering straight, kept on evenly final 300M but always held by leaders. |
| 7 | 5 | MONSIEUR MOGOK (S412) | H W Lai | -- | In touch with leaders along the fence, kept on steadily behind leaders, not much room final stages but would have made little difference to the results. |
| 8 | 3 | FIRST SIGHT LOVE (P067) | J Moreira | -- | Travelled 5-6Ls off the pace and had cover behind midfield, niggled along 400M, ran on moderately and only held his ground over final 150M. |
| 9 | 4 | SUPREME ESSENCE (N401) | B Prebble | H/TT | Reserved near the rear, well off the pace in early and middle stages, fanned wide into straight, stayed on only fairly and not getting to leaders. |
| 10 | 2 | FUN RIDER (CK231) | G Mosse | B | Shifted across behind runners after the start, settled near last 8-9Ls behind leader in a slowly run race, lost his chance when checked 300M. |
| 11 | 7 | SPINNING DANCER (S078) | U Rispoli | B | Taken back from 12, raced in last 9Ls off the pace in a slowly run race, proved difficult to settle middle stages, shaken up near 400M but making no real progress, eased. |
| 12 | 6 | SNOWHOOVES (S409) | M Chadwick | H/XB | Settled towards the rear, not quickened passing 400M, soon left behind by main rivals. |
