Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 13 | DAVE'S BEST (CC060) | D Whyte | -- | Prominent but 3-wide without cover early on, went 2nd 1100 M out 1L behind leader, half a length 2nd at 800 M, led at top of home stretch, joined 200 M out but kept finding more, gamely. |
| 2 | 8 | BEETHOVEN (CC133) | G Mosse | -- | 3 and 4-wide sometimes without cover down backstretch, 3Ls off pace in 5th at 1200 M, raced freely 4-wide into stretch, disputing lead 200 M out but always hanging in, outfought close home. |
| 3 | 7 | LUCKY PARADISE (CB441) | F Coetzee | -- | Held up 3-wide and 7Ls off pace in 11th 1200 M out, switched to fence 1000 M out, 4Ls down in midfield off home turn, ran on strongly, nearest at the finish. |
| 4 | 5 | ENTERTAINING (CC057) | A Marcus | -- | Broke best, well placed in 4th 2Ls off pace 1200 M out, 3Ls down 900 M out, 2Ls down off home turn, was always a little outpaced but kept on well nonetheless, nearest at finish. |
| 5 | 4 | WEALTHY TREASURE (CC270) | S Dye | -- | 2-wide 1L off pace in 3rd 1200 M out, over-raced 800 M out when 3-wide and 2Ls down in 3rd, a neck down in 2nd place off home turn and still there 200 M out, no extra final stages. |
| 6 | 3 | LUCKY LAD (CA148) | C Williams | V | Driven along to hold rails position 4Ls off pace in midfield 1300 M out, 3Ls down on fence in 6th entering straight, kept on along fence and over 2Ls down 200 M out, one-paced close home. |
| 7 | 14 | KINDRED SPIRITS (BT204) | P H Lo | B/TT | Didn't break well, one from rear when 11Ls down on fence 1200 M out, 8Ls down in 13th 800 M out, stayed on pretty well through beaten rivals in home straight, never nearer. |
| 8 | 6 | EVER SUCCESS (CB229) | T Mundry | -- | Always about 2-wide and 4Ls or 5Ls off pace in 8th from 1200 M to home straight, ran on fairly but never looked like troubling leaders. |
| 9 | 9 | SPRINTER (CA067) | Y T Cheng | B | Held up 2-wide 5Ls off pace in 9th 1200 M out, 3-wide with cover 800 M out, 4-wide into home straight when 4Ls behind leader, 3Ls down 200 M out, never able to challenge. |
| 10 | 11 | ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) | W M Lai | -- | 3-wide in 6th when 3Ls off pace 1200 M out, similar position turning for home, one-paced thereafter. |
| 11 | 12 | MASTERY (CC176) | G Schofield | -- | Bumped at start, on fence 6Ls off speed in 10th 1200 M out, in 12th and still 6Ls down 800 M out, 5Ls down off home turn, never looked like getting into it. |
| 12 | 10 | SUNBELL (CB391) | W C Marwing | -- | Always deep on the track and without cover, 4-wide and 8Ls off pace in 12th 1200 M out, 5-wide (widest of all) into straight when 5Ls off pace, always outpaced. |
| 13 | 1 | SUPER BLITZ (CB120) | A Delpech | B | Left flat-footed at the jump losing at least 8Ls, about 10Ls last off home turn, never a factor. |
| 14 | 2 | BOLD FIGHTER (CC286) | W Woods | B | Led on fence by 1L 1200 M out, never clear by more than 1L at any point, headed off home turn, faded out very quickly. |
