Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | BRAVE LEGEND (A260) | K Teetan | B/TT | Dropped back from draw 12, in rear 8Ls off the pace, widest into straight, ran on strongly despite shifting out under pressure final 200M, got up near line. (Jockey dropped left rein close home.) |
| 2 | 10 | CINQUANTE CINQ (B404) | M Chadwick | -- | Settled in mid-division, in 6th spot from 800M, quickened up well from 300M, just couldn't match the pace of winner late. |
| 3 | 1 | GIANT TURTLE (T391) | C Wong | SR/TT | Rolled forward, emerged as leader 1300M, led steadily, kept finding passing 300M, only headed by first 2 late stages. |
| 4 | 11 | DEFINING MOMENT (C159) | C Schofield | B | Taken back on jumping from draw 11, settled near rear 7Ls off the pace, driven wide 400M, worked home well down outside, just missed 3rd. |
| 5 | 8 | VIGOR FAME (B260) | C Y Ho | H/XB/TT | Slow to begin, recovered to race in midfield, 4Ls off leader home turn, into clear 250M, fought on to line but lacked the dash late. |
| 6 | 9 | RULETHEROOST (B299) | U Rispoli | CP | Had a ground saving trip just behind leaders, kept chasing entire straight, tried hard but always held. |
| 7 | 6 | TRAVEL FIRST (T098) | T H So | B/TT | Strode forward to be stalking leader in a steadily run race, held ground to 150M, no extra late faded out of contention. |
| 8 | 12 | I DO (C038) | K C Leung | CP/TT | From wide draw shifted across behind runners, settled towards the rear 6Ls off the pace, battled on fairly down the inside, never likely. |
| 9 | 5 | RULE THEE (A172) | G van Niekerk | B | Held up behind midfield, travelled 3-wide from middle stages, stayed on mildly turning home, no threat to leaders. |
| 10 | 3 | MARZOUQ (B094) | J Moreira | -- | In midfield, caught wide from early stages and left with no cover from 1000M, showed little on straightening after a tough trip. |
| 11 | 4 | BEAR SLAM (C143) | N Callan | -- | Began awkwardly, tracked leaders 2-wide, found no extra and faded away passing 250M, already out of contention when steadied 200M. |
| 12 | 7 | RIGHT HONOURABLE (A164) | R Bayliss | H/P/TT | Held up behind midfield about 5Ls off leaders, failed to run on passing 400M, never a chance. |
