| 1 | 10 | RISING INDEX (CA267) | F Coetzee | TT1 | Broke well, raced in handy position along rails, 2-4Ls off speed. Steadily improved from 600 M and accelerated well after straightening. Asserted authority inside 200 M and stayed on strongly to the line. |
| 2 | 6 | SEA PEARL (BS262) | W Woods | B1 | Pushed along and soon took the lead. Headed just before passing the winning post the first time and tracked leader. Brief lead 200 M out but soon collared, no match with winner. |
| 3 | 4 | BRILLIANT LEADER (BS211) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Raced 4-5Ls off pace and 2 to 3-wide, always niggled along to maintain its position. Ridden from 600 M but only stayed on at same pace in straight, just grabbed 3rd near the line. |
| 4 | 1 | ENORMOUS WAY (BV136) | D Whyte | -- | Midfield along rails. 7-9Ls down when the field spread out in the middle stages. Crept closer from 600 M and 4Ls off lead into straight. Ran on a little early in the straight until one-paced passing 200 M. (Lame.) |
| 5 | 9 | GRACIOUS FELLOW (CA265) | K H Ting | -- | Settled worse than midfield. 10Ls off leader in the middle stages. Commenced run rounding the home bend, 3-wide and 6Ls behind into straight. Made up some steady ground final stages. |
| 6 | 2 | JADE RUYI (BV118) | B Marcus | -- | Jumped awkwardly, at back. 10Ls off speed on rails passing the winning post the first time. Shifted out to commence run rounding home bend, 4-wide and 8Ls off leader into straight. Made up some ground. |
| 7 | 7 | CHIEF'S FORTUNE (BS222) | S Dye | -- | Steadily restrained to the back. 2 to 3-wide, 10Ls behind until asked to catch up around 400 M. 5-wide and 8Ls off pace into straight. Made up some ground but never a threat. |
| 8 | 12 | MELROSE STAR (BS091) | Y T Cheng | SR | Towards rear, stayed along the rails. 10Ls off pace middle stages. Saved ground on fence rounding the home bend when asked to commence run, 6Ls behind into straight. Made up steady ground, no extra close home. |
| 9 | 8 | CONSENSUS (CA112) | S K Sit | SR | Broke well, midfield early. Steadily dropped towards rear at 1200 M, 9Ls off pace. Made no impression in straight. |
| 10 | 5 | EXPRESS LOT (BT188) | Hammer-Hansen | B | Prominent early, 3-wide making the first bend, then steadily moved up to take up running passing the winning post the first time. Headed inside 300 M, steadily dropped out. |
| 11 | 3 | LUCK AND FORTUNE (BT088) | M Kinane | P-/B2 | Always well there. Under pressure 400 M out, gave ground steadily on straightening. |
| 12 | 11 | SEATTLE SUN (BS116) | K C Tsang | B | 3-wide without cover towards rear. Dropped to tail 700 M out, became further detached from 500 M. |
