| 1 | 11 | HIGHLILLI (CD092) | F Coetzee | TT1 | Away well and either disputed lead or raced prominently with 2Ls off pace in 2nd through to home straight, picked up well to lead 200 M out, comfortably, smart debut. |
| 2 | 2 | PAOBRIDGE (CB073) | P H Lo | B | Best away and pressed on from wide gate, led out 2-wide at 700 M and led by 2Ls on fence 500 M out, headed by winner at the 200 M, just hung for runners-up berth. |
| 3 | 5 | WYNDAM EASY (CB273) | G Mosse | -- | 2-wide and 3Ls off pace in midfield early on, 3-wide into straight when 4Ls down in 5th, tended to hang in under pressure, made some good late ground. |
| 4 | 9 | GRANDWAY SHUTTLE (CB424) | D Dunn | B | Had cover when 3-wide and 3Ls off pace in 8th place 700 M out, 4-wide (widest of all) into home straight when about 4Ls down in midfield, ran on quite well closing stages. |
| 5 | 8 | SUPREME MOLLY (CC049) | R Fradd | -- | Always 2-wide and within 3Ls of pace through to home straight when 4th, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, no chance with winner and lost a place final strides. |
| 6 | 12 | OUR JET (CD128) | K C Tsang | -- | Awkwardly away, showed good speed while racing 3-wide without cover to be 2Ls 3rd at 600 M, 2Ls 3rd into home straight and just 1L down at 200 M, no extra final stages, good debut. |
| 7 | 6 | FOUR ACES (CC141) | G Schofield | TT1 | Always in midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace on fence or at most 2-wide through to home striaght, failed to pick up and never threatened leaders. |
| 8 | 3 | KIMBERLEY MINES (CA367) | C Williams | -- | Always about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace and slightly worse than midfield, always looked held. |
| 9 | 4 | PROGRESSING TIMES (CC231) | C K Tong | B- | Never better than 5Ls or 6Ls off the speed towards rear, never troubled leaders. |
| 10 | 1 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | T Mundry | SR | No speed early, 2-wide and 8Ls off pace sharing rear 800 M out, 8Ls down and clearly last entering straight, no impression. |
| 11 | 10 | BACCHUS (CB009) | W Smith | BO/P | 1L off pace in 3rd at 800 M, 3Ls down from 600 M to 350 M when very tight and awkwardly placed and held on fence, couldn't regain any momentum. |
| 12 | 7 | CARRY THE NEWS (CB191) | S Dye | -- | Raced ungenerously in the main, very keen with his head up, awkward on the circle, and left in rear shortly after final bend. |
