| 1 | 5 | SENSIBLE WAY (CA175) | A Delpech | B | Led early on fence, always about 1L clear through to home straight entrance, still 1L to the good at 200 M, always in charge. |
| 2 | 8 | PROGRESSING TIMES (CC231) | D Whyte | -- | 3-back on fence 3Ls off pace in midfield at 800 M, same entering straight when without a clear run until 300 M out, ran on well to take 2nd close home. |
| 3 | 2 | THE WORLD OF LOVE (CC066) | C Williams | -- | 3-wide with cover when about 3Ls behind lead in midfield until homestretch, about 4Ls down at the 200 M, kept on to nick a place on the line. |
| 4 | 6 | STARDANE (CD299) | S Dye | CP | Always in touch in 2nd about 1L off pace out 2-wide until home straight entrance and the 200 M when all out, lost out on a place on the line. |
| 5 | 1 | BULB KING (CD303) | O Doleuze | V | Awkwardly away, keen at 1000 M, 2Ls off pace in 5th at 800 M when 2-wide, same at final bend when niggled along, never looked like grabbing the lead. |
| 6 | 7 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | F Coetzee | V | Awkwardly away, towards rear about 5Ls off pace and 3-wide with cover until home straight, stayed on fairly well in stretch without troubling principals. |

| 8 | 12 | SABRE AND GOLD (CE179) | W M Lai | -- | Awkwardly away and no speed early, about 5Ls off pace worse than midfield 4-back on fence through to home straight, always held. |
| 9 | 10 | WISHMASTER (CB240) | H K Yim | -- | Never better than midfield always about 4Ls off pace, ridden along to take closer order at 500 M, didn't succeed. |
| 10 | 9 | AMO (CB125) | G Schofield | B2 | Slowly away, always towards rear at least 5Ls off pace at every stage. |
| 11 | 11 | GOOD TRIO (CD029) | H W Lai | B/SR | Slowest away, 7Ls last at 1000 M when 4-wide no cover, gained cover at 800 M but still about 5Ls last taking home turn, never on terms. |
| 12 | 3 | CALIFORNIA HEART (CE078) | B Prebble | B/TT | Always 3-wide no cover, within 2Ls of the pace in 4th or so until final bend, very one-paced from then on. |
