Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | BULL'S EYE (BV148) | C Williams | -- | 3-wide towards rear, 6 or 7Ls off lead 600 M out. 4Ls down straightening up, made sustained run from 200 M to score comfortably closing stages. |
| 2 | 9 | MY HONOUR (BT205) | G Schofield | -- | 4 or 5 wide around midfield early, niggled along from 900 M 3 wide rear of mid-division. Crept closer rounding home bend to be 4Ls down on straightening, ran on well though no threat to winner. |
| 3 | 12 | VICTORY WARRIOR (CA338) | E Legrix | -- | Brief lead then sat 3-wide 1-1/2Ls off speed. Challenged for lead 600 M out and held 1L advantage one off fence until no extra and headed concluding stages. |
| 4 | 6 | CLIFFHANGER (CA235) | W C Marwing | -- | Jumped only fairly, driven to take lead 1000 M out. Ceded advantage near 600 M, under pressure 350 M out, kept on at same pace. |
| 5 | 3 | KENWOOD MELODY (BV014) | S Dye | B/H | Slow out, detached last until getting within 8 or 9Ls off lead on straightening. Ran on well final 200 M though never looked likely to obtain a minor placing. |
| 6 | 1 | PRIME WITNESS (BV178) | G Mosse | -- | Fractions and broke through, not much speed early on, niggled to find position forward of midfield 2-wide, hugged rail from 600 M. Unable to quicken in the straight. |
| 7 | 2 | SOLID CONTACT (BP168) | E Saint-Martin | -- | 4 or 5-wide in mid-division, brief effort near 200 M, soon one-paced. |
| 8 | 4 | OUR CLASS (CA086) | F Coetzee | B/TT | On rail in midfield through to straightening when attempting to shift out and go forward, was disappointed for a run 200 M out, steadied and shifted back in, only plugged on. |
| 9 | 5 | TRIPLE EXPRESSO (BS141) | A Marcus | B | No early speed and soon dropped to the rear despite ridden along most of the way, ran past a couple of tired runners close home. |
| 10 | 11 | VICTORY MARBLE (BV275) | M Cahill | -- | Driven to track leader. Ran out of steam straightening up and dropped away tamely. |
| 11 | 7 | GOLCONDA (CA111) | K S Yu | -- | Away smartly from widest alley but was never on the track and had no cover throughout around midfield. Tired soon after straightening. Hung in throughout. |
| 12 | 10 | PLENTY-PLENTY (BS191) | W M Lai | -- | Not far off early but steadily dropped towards rear 800 M out, not a factor thereafter. |
