| 1 | 1 | GONNA RUN (T094) | Z Purton | TT | Given a waiting ride near the rear, 8Ls off the pace middle stages, kept to inside while many others swung wide turning for home, ran on steadily to get up 100M and held on from fast finishing 2nd. |
| 2 | 9 | SUPER FORM (T232) | K Teetan | V/TT | Not hurried, settled towards the rear 7Ls off the pace, driven wide into straight, closed off strongly final 300M, just missed. |
| 3 | 4 | RED MARVEL (T417) | C Schofield | P-/H/TT | Jumped on terms, had rail run never far off from leader, 3Ls off 400M, worked home well down the center of track. |
| 4 | 10 | GOLDEN SLEEP (T117) | W M Lai | -- | Began well, restrained to sit behind leader, every chance final 300M, outsprinted by rivals final 150M. |
| 5 | 3 | OUTLAWED (T100) | M F Poon | V | Crossed to the lead 1300M, set slow pace early before quickening up middle stages, guided to center of track turning in, couldn't hold off rivals 150M. |
| 6 | 5 | PHOTON WILLIE (S199) | B Prebble | H/TT | Restrained after the start, held up 3-wide behind midfield 5-6Ls off the pace, swung wide into straight, stayed on mildly. |
| 7 | 7 | WHO DAT SINGA (A003) | N Rawiller | H | Positioned 2-wide just ahead of mid-division, awkwardly placed behind a weakening runner from 700M and lost ground, kept grinding to line turning home but always held by rivals. |
| 8 | 2 | GOODHEART SUCCESS (S162) | O Doleuze | B | Taken back from wide barrier, settled last 8-9Ls away, swung widest leaving home turn, ran on well but too much to make up. |
| 9 | 6 | KIRAM (T093) | J Moreira | -- | In midfield, wide no cover from 1100M, ran on same pace in straight, never a serious threat. (Lame next day.) |
| 10 | 12 | QUICK RETURN (A286) | H T Mo | -- | Jumped on terms from inside gate, eased back to a position behind midfield, checked away from a weakening rival home turn, couldn't get closer to leaders in straight. |
| 11 | 8 | MIGHTY BOY (A352) | T Berry | CP-/B1 | Failed to muster speed despite ridden, ended up behind midfield along the rail, under pressure home turn but couldn't pick up pace, weakened 200M. |
| 12 | 11 | BEAUTY LOVE (V025) | K C Ng | H/TT | Caught wide first turn, improved to race just off the pace 1100M, under pressure to keep up 700M, gave ground home turn and soon out of contention. |
