| 1 | 4 | TIMBER CITY (CC031) | B Prebble | B | Away well and held lead briefly early on, settled 1L behind leader in 2nd from 800 M to homestretch, led over 200 M out, driven out. |
| 2 | 11 | DANEFACTOR (CA006) | M Rodd | -- | Pressed on to lead at 1000 M and about 1L clear on fence at 800 M, same margin in front at home turn, headed over 200 M out, stayed on gamely but lacked an extra kick. |
| 3 | 1 | MASTER ABLE (CD349) | O Doleuze | -- | Fractious at start, 3-back on fence about 3Ls or 4Ls off speed in mid-division until hoem turn when momentarily held up for a run, stayed on well once clear to fill in a place inside final 50 M. |
| 4 | 3 | SPARKLE (CB406) | D Whyte | V | Always prominent 2-wide and within 2Ls of the pace in 4th position or so until taking home turn, every chance of filling a place, no extra when it mattered. |
| 5 | 2 | SILLY BOY (CC094) | S Dye | TT | Best away, box-seat run about 2Ls off pace on fence until entering home straight, stayed on fairly thereafter but always held by quinella pair. |
| 6 | 7 | SPOKESMAN (CD099) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Steadied at 1000 M, towards rear about 5Ls off pace at 800 M, a little closer on straightening, stayed on fairly without threatening principals. |

| 8 | 10 | NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) | C Brown | -- | 8Ls off speed in rear at 1000 M, 6Ls down and 2-wide in 12th on straightening, held up at 300 M, made a little ground but never likely to take a hand. |
| 9 | 8 | ACE KING (CD265) | C Munce | -- | Worse than midfield about 5Ls back at 1000 M, niggled along to lie up at 700 M, further back and struggling in rear on the swing for home, weakened further. |
| 10 | 14 | PLEASANT JOURNEY (CC266) | Y T Cheng | -- | 2Ls off pace in 3rd and 3-wide without cover at 800 M, under pressure to maintain this prominent position off home turn, drifted out of contention. |
| 11 | 6 | MILLENNIUM SUPREME (BV228) | G Schofield | CP/TT | 5-wide no cover at 1100 M, 3Ls off speed and worse than midfield at 800 M, losing ground and under pressure when 5Ls down on straightening, soon well beaten. |
| 12 | 13 | JOY AND TREASURE (CD251) | H W Lai | V | Towards rear 3-wide with cover and 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, under pressure to stay in touch when 4-wide on straigh- tening, dropped out. |
| 13 | 5 | CONSTELLATION (CE025) | R Fradd | B | Didn't break well, 4-wide no cover from 900 M when about 3Ls off pace in mid-division, 4-wide taking home turn, very weak in stretch and eased late. |
| 14 | 9 | FRIENDS FOREVER (CD245) | S K Sit | CP-/B2 | Slow start, 2-wide and 3Ls off speed at 900 M, niggled along at 600 M to retain prominent position, didn't succeed, dropped out tamely in home straight. |
