| 1 | 2 | SOUNDS BEST (CE255) | C Soumillon | TT | Began fairly, allowed to settle early midfield on fence 12Ls from tearaway leaders (pace fast), enjoyed good run throughout, angled 2 wide on turn and came with strong run down outside in straight to narrowly score. |
| 2 | 8 | NOBLE SILENCE (CD238) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Slow to begin, drifted back to 2nd last on fence 14Ls away, had soft run to turn, followed paint into straight 8-10Ls away, came with strong finish to narrowly go down. |
| 3 | 3 | COSMO SUCCESS (CC250) | O Doleuze | -- | Slow to begin, well back in last position 15Ls away, used nothing in run with speed on in front, made 5 wide run on turn and sprinted hard down outside to figure in finish. Big effort. |
| 4 | 6 | REGENCY HORSE (CE229) | W M Lai | B/TT | Broke well, showed good early speed to take up running, pressured early and overraced badly in middle section going out to 10L lead from main body to fast clip, held advantage to 150 M and fought hard when tackled. Not beaten far. |
| 5 | 7 | GOOD NATURE (CE153) | C Munce | B | Jumped with them, taken back to slot in mid-division 2 wide 13Ls away, travelled fairly throughout with cover, made run between runners in straight making good ground before being held up at 100 M and not fully ridden out. |
| 6 | 5 | STABLE MAIL (CE184) | B Prebble | -- | Began with field, showed more speed than usual to take up position 5th without cover in main body 11Ls away, niggled along to make ground on turn, loomed strongly close to lead at 150 M but weakened last bit. |
| 7 | 12 | SOLAR EMPIRE (CB299) | Y T Cheng | -- | Best away, showed early speed to cross from widest gate to sit outside leader, engaged in early speed battle, sat in 2nd 5Ls away, 5Ls from main body, under pressure entering straight but early effort told over final 100 M. |
| 8 | 10 | FORTUNE SMILES (CB432) | C Brown | -- | Broke with them, held midfield position on rails in 3rd position leading main division, carted field up to tearaway leaders, tried hard in straight but lacked the dash to figure in the finish. |
| 9 | 1 | PACKING ANGEL (CB223) | D Whyte | -- | Began reasonably, unable to slot in an posted 3 wide in main division without cover 12-13Ls away, wide run took its toll when unable to quicken in stretch and only battled away. |
| 10 | 11 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | H W Lai | V | Away well, pushed along to hold 4th position on fence 11Ls away with cover, had soft run throughout, pushed along entering straight, unable to sprint and plugged on steadily. |
| 11 | 4 | WINNING KEVIN (CD051) | S Dye | B2 | Jumped with rest, drifted back to worse than midfield 2-wide in main division 13Ls away, had cover throughout, pushed along entering straight, lacked usual hard finish and was well beaten. |
| 12 | 9 | CZAR OF PRUSSIA (CB378) | G Schofield | -- | Slow to begin, drifted back to 3rd last 3 wide 15Ls away, had cover throughout, under pressure on turn, only battled away over last 200 M. |
