Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | MIRACLES (CC073) | K T Yeung | -- | Held up in 13th 2-wide and 8Ls off pace at 1000 M, 4-wide and 6Ls down into straight, switched out wider to challenge 400 M out, 4Ls down at 200 M, finished off very strongly to lead close home. |
| 2 | 8 | KING PALM (CC118) | D Whyte | -- | Slowly away, had a nice run on fence 1L off pace from 1000 M to home straight, half a length down in 2nd at 200 M, battled on well closing stages but powerless to repel winner's late surge. |
| 3 | 7 | SMART CHAMPION (CC324) | G Schofield | -- | Slowly away, recovered well and led narrowly out 2-wide from 1200 M out, half a length to the good out 2-wide off final bend, grabbed by runner-up close home, good debut. |
| 4 | 3 | TAKING THE LEAD (CB275) | G Mosse | -- | Prominent caught 3 and 4-wide down back straight, 1L off pace at 700 M when 3-wide, within half a length of pace and with every chance from home turn to 200 M, no extra close home. |
| 5 | 10 | MY CHOICE (CC283) | W Smith | -- | Very keen down with head up early on, checked at 800 M when 3-wide 2Ls off pace in 5th, similarly placed into home straight, always a little too one-paced from then on. |
| 6 | 13 | SURE FORTUNE (CC033) | A Delpech | TT | Lay in 2nd place out 2-wide and 1L off speed at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 5th spot on straightening for the judge, always looked held by principals. |
| 7 | 12 | SUPRA SMART KID (CC122) | C Williams | V | 3-wide and 7Ls off pace in 11th place at 1000 M, still towards rear when 6-wide into home straight, never on terms. |
| 8 | 5 | D'OR WIN (CA092) | R Fradd | SR1/TT | In 4th place 2Ls off pace out 4-wide at 1000 M, sent on to dispute lead 900 M out, still right there when unbalanced 500 M out, 3-wide into stretch, beaten 200 M out. |
| 9 | 1 | HANDBAG DRAGON (BT253) | P H Lo | -- | On fence and worse than midfield 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, still on rail and about 4Ls down in midfield on the swing, never rearlly threatened. |
| 10 | 11 | PRECIOUS MOMENTS (CC264) | J Quinn | -- | Always caught very deep without cover, 4-wide and 3Ls off pace at 900 M, 5-wide at 800 M when no worse than 2Ls off pace, under pressure to keep up at the 400 M, faded. |
| 11 | 4 | SHINING GEM (CA180) | W Woods | -- | Settled 4Ls off pace in 9th when 2-wide at 1000 M, tracked leaders to 600 M from similar distance, under pressure into straight, found very little off the bit. |
| 12 | 6 | LA MERVEILLE (CC205) | S K Sit | -- | Slowly into stride, always towards rear, never posed any kind of threat. |
| 13 | 9 | ZERO IN (CC332) | F Coetzee | -- | Fractious in gates and reared at start losing considerable ground, on fence 7Ls off pace at 1000 M, never competitive. |
| 14 | 14 | RED FIREBALL (CC171) | Y T Cheng | -- | Always very wide (at least 5-wide) down back straight, managed to race in midfield for brief period, lost position from 800 M, no chance even before home turn. |
