Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | DIAMOND FORTUNE (BM079) | A S Cruz | -- | Made virtually all. Shook off serious challenge inside final 200 M for a convincing victory. (To Class 3.) |
| 2 | 5 | GRAND WAY (BM054) | M Kinane | -- | Always prominent. Gained slender lead briefly passing 400 M. Unable to sustain effort under pressure closing stages. |
| 3 | 10 | RED JEANS (BM043) | D Holland | -- | Midfield. Picked up well inside final 300 M to be nearest at finish. |
| 4 | 7 | LYPHARD'S LAD (BM033) | J Marshall | -- | Well there. Given reminders to keep position passing 300 M but faded steadily closing stages. |
| 5 | 8 | MR OAKS (BM077) | E Legrix | -- | Well there to course proper. Produced nothing under pressure. |
| 6 | 11 | SUCCESS PARTNERS (BM124) | F C Lor | -- | Just worse than midfield. Kept on past beaten horses closing stages. |
| 7 | 9 | QUICK SILVER (BM086) | H K Yim | -- | Quite well there. Ridden in 6th passing 400 M but one-paced. |
| 8 | 13 | FAST ACTION (BM112) | B Marcus | -- | Never better than midfield. |
| 9 | 4 | FLYING CHEETAH (BM013) | G Mosse | -- | Always towards rear. |
