| 1 | 6 | THE DUKE (CB282) | C Soumillon | B- | Settled in 3rd pace about 6Ls off the leader RUN AND WIN down the back straight, 2-wide and 3Ls off the pace turning for home, led 200 M out, ran on well. |
| 2 | 2 | SIROCCO (CA169) | D Dunn | -- | Worse than midfield when bumping rail 1300 M out, on fence about 8Ls off the speed down the back straight, 5Ls down entering straight, ran on well without reaching winner. |
| 3 | 7 | BOBO DUCK (CA063) | O Doleuze | V | Soon in 2nd place about 4Ls behind the leader RUN AND WIN, led upon straightening, headed by winner 200 M out, kept on quite well. |
| 4 | 5 | PACKING ANGEL (CB223) | D Whyte | -- | On fence about 7Ls off pace down back straight, 3Ls down entering home straight, severely checked 250 M out when angling for a run on inside, ran on again but missed a place. |
| 5 | 10 | MULTIWINNING (CC083) | S Dye | B | Settled on fence in rear early on, at least 15Ls off the lead at the 900 M, still rear and 8Ls down turning for home, 6Ls down 200 M out, ran on very strongly to be nearest at the finish. |
| 6 | 11 | ISLAND WEST TREBLE (BV073) | E Legrix | TT | On fence 10Ls in rear 1200 M out, 7Ls behind on the fence on straightening, could only stay on at the same pace and no kind of threat. |
| 7 | 1 | TRICCOLO (CA247) | W C Marwing | -- | Shifted in at the 1400 M to race 2 and 3-wide and about 6Ls off the pace in 4th place 800 M out, niggled along 600 M out to get closer, all out to remain 3Ls off the pace entering straight, faded. |
| 8 | 12 | GLORIOUS LIGHT (CC115) | Y T Cheng | -- | Was crowded and became unbalanced 1400 M out, 8Ls off pace and 2-wide 800 M out, 5Ls down and 2-wide entering homestretch, didn't quicken up. |
| 9 | 9 | INDUBITABLY BLISS (CA058) | F Coetzee | TT | Checked 1400 M out and forced wider, raced 3-wide without cover down back straight when no better than 8Ls off the pace, 5Ls down and 4-wide into home straight, soon faded. |
| 10 | 8 | CENTURY HORSE (BT267) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Always in rear, on fence 10Ls off the pace and 2-wide 1200 M out, 8Ls down and 2-wide into home straight, never a factor. |
| 11 | 4 | RUN AND WIN (CA131) | S K Sit | B | Soon led, shot 4Ls clear from 1200 M to 600 M out, was headed at top of home straight, weakened very rapidly. |
| 12 | 3 | TOM'S FIRST (CA354) | G Schofield | SR | Caught 3-wide from 1400 M to 1200 M out when about 10Ls off the speed, managed to go 7Ls down and 3-wide turning for home but never really looked like getting into the race. (See Racing Incidents.) |
