| 1 | 1 | ROMAN IMPERO (V371) | D Whyte | B | Close up to leaders early stages, shuffled back to midfield back straight, travelled well into straight, kept coming to vie for lead inside 200M, got the upper hand near line. |
| 2 | 6 | QUICK RETURN (A286) | Z Purton | B | Dropped back to be 4Ls off the pace middle stages, niggled along from 650M to be just over 2Ls off the pace leaving the bend, ran on well battling for the lead inside 200M, just denied at the finish. |
| 3 | 9 | IMPERIAL CONCORDE (P425) | K Teetan | CP/TT | Dropped back from wide gate, settled in last 6Ls off the pace, commenced his run passing 500M, closed off fastest down outside lane making good late impression on first two. |
| 4 | 11 | FIVE STARS AGENT (V001) | J Moreira | H/SR | Led early, sat behind leaders passing 1300M, well placed to strike turning in, had every chance but got out-finished final 200M. |
| 5 | 13 | VIVA COUNCIL (A190) | H T Mo | H | Jumped away fairly, bustled along to take lead 1400M, sat just off the pace middle stages before regaining the lead near top of straight, couldn't fend off pursuers 250M, faded towards the line. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 6 | 2 | SPICY KAKA (V323) | T Berry | CP/XB2 | Caught very wide first turn from barrier 12, settled towards the rear 5Ls off the pace middle stages, got too far back raced on only fairly in straight, no impression on leaders. |
| 7 | 8 | GRAND HARBOUR (P421) | O Doleuze | B/H/TT | From draw 10 caught racing wide without cover throughout the trip, strode closer to leaders passing 1200M, didn't run on entering straight, weakened over final 150M. |
| 8 | 10 | SMART SALUTE (V117) | K C Leung | B | Bustled along after the jump to hold a rail position fore of midfield, couldn't accelerate on straightening, kept on same pace to line. |
| 9 | 3 | TOP ACE (T199) | A Badel | TT | Not hurried early stages, towards the rear and no closer than 3-wide for majority of the race, 5Ls to make up 400M, never able to pick up. Weak run home. (Substantial blood on scope / Lame next day.) |
| 10 | 7 | PERFECT CHOICE (A216) | B Prebble | TT | Chased leaders, travelled keenly 1200M and pulled its way forward to lead them from 1100M, pressed by rival 500M, gave a brief fight early straight then gave way 300M. |
| 11 | 12 | GOLDEN KID (V232) | K C Ng | -- | Crowded for room after the jump, guided to the fence to be 5Ls off the pace towards the rear, didn't pick up under pressure, eased when no chance 200M. |
| 12 | 5 | LOADED (A195) | A Sanna | B | Began only fairly, raced in 2nd last 5-6Ls behind leader, failed to finish off when placed under pressure passing 500M, never a factor. |
| 13 | 4 | GOLDIE FLANKER (V161) | N Rawiller | B | Took charge of its rider 1400M, shifted out to a 4-wide position approaching entrance of back straight, swung widest home turn but already a spent force leaving the bend, tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
| 14 | 14 | BEST EFFORT (T220) | C Schofield | E/PC/XB | Hard ridden forward early stages but unable to get closer to the fence, taken wider by rival to be very wide without cover down the back-straight, gave ground 500M, eased when already beaten. |
