Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | DARWIN (CA068) | S Dye | -- | Soon led, never clear by more than 2Ls, driven along to stretch further ahead 500 M out, held 1L break at 200 M, kept on gamely under pressure to hang on. |
| 2 | 5 | ACROBATIC (CA108) | C Williams | B | Slowly away, recovered and had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 1200 M, same position entering home straight, had every chance to pick off winner but lacked the gears. |
| 3 | 6 | KIDDYLAND (CC063) | T Mundry | SR1 | 2-wide and 2Ls off the speed at 1200 M, always 1L from 1000 M to home straight when travelling well, every chance at 300 M, no extra closing stages. |
| 4 | 1 | BULLISH LUCK (CC155) | F Coetzee | B | Caught 4-wide without cover at 1300 M, 3-wide without cover from 900 M out when 4Ls off pace in 6th, 3Ls down 5th entering straight, always too one-paced on run-in. |
| 5 | 11 | SURVEYOR (CC159) | A Delpech | -- | In 8th place 6Ls off the speed and 2-wide at the 1200 M, 2-wide and 4Ls off speed in 7th entering home straight, ran on quite well in home straight without threatening principals. |
| 6 | 2 | HELENE MOMENTUM (CB453) | D Dunn | -- | Checked when towards rear and 3-wide with cover at 1300 M, 6Ls off pace in 9th or so and 3-wide with cover from 1000 M through to until home straight, made only a little late headway. |
| 7 | 12 | COMMANDER CHARLIE (BS155) | M W Leung | SR | 2-wide and 4Ls off pace in 4th at 1200 M, on fence about 4Ls off pace from 1000 M to home straight in about 5th place, one-paced and not dangerous thereafter. |
| 8 | 7 | KA KA WIN (CD006) | G Schofield | -- | Slowly away, 2-wide and about 7Ls off pace in 10th 1000 M out, always in rear half of the field and never dangerous. |
| 9 | 9 | CHEERS HONG KONG (CA172) | C K Tong | -- | On fence 5Ls off pace in 5th at 1200 M, worse than midfield but still only about 5Ls or 6Ls off the speed through to home straight, found nothing under pressure. |
| 10 | 10 | KENWOOD MELODY (BV014) | J Quinn | B | Awkwardly away, 3-wide without cover and 4Ls off pace in 4th at 1200 M, gained cover 2-wide and 3Ls down 800 M out, one-paced when still 3Ls down at 200 M, faded. |
| 11 | 3 | DANAMITE (CB003) | R Fradd | SR | Slowly away, on fence towards rear when bumping rails awkwardly 1300 M out, always one from rear about 7Ls or 8Ls off pace thereafter. |
| 12 | 8 | ONE STEP AHEAD (BT033) | W M Lai | B | Very awkwardly away with jockey unbalanced at the jump, hampered at 1400 M, never on terms. |
