Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | FORTUNE BOY (CC378) | G Schofield | -- | Box run on fence from 1200 M about 2Ls off pace in 3rd, ideally placed throughout, switched out at top of home straight to lead 100 M out, held on. |
| 2 | 3 | SHANGHAI KING (CC188) | F Coetzee | TT | About 9Ls last and 2-wide early, sent on 3-wide no cover at 700 M, 3-wide turning for home when about 5Ls down in 9th, stayed on well out wide for a place but too late to win. |
| 3 | 12 | SAMBUOYANT (CE172) | M W Leung | B2 | 4Ls back in 6th at 1100 M, much the same position until home turn, kept on fairly well for a place. |
| 4 | 1 | MIGHTY HUGO (CB413) | D Whyte | B1 | 3-wide no cover at 1100 M in 2nd place, 2-wide and 2Ls down in 2nd at 800 M, a neck back at home turn and all out to be a head down with 200 M to go, no extra and missed a place. |
| 5 | 4 | CARRIZO CREEK (CE132) | C Munce | B | 2-wide and 2Ls down in 4th at 1100 M, under pressure rounding the turn, unable to dash home with principals final 100 M. |
| 6 | 8 | VICTORY START (CG216) | W M Lai | TT | 3Ls down on fence in 5th at 1100 M, similarly placed taking home turn, ordinary finish and just a bit one-paced. |
| 7 | 6 | FRIENDSHIP (CE066) | C W Wong | -- | Away well and crossed from wide gate to lead on fence 1300 M out, only a neck to the good into home straight, headed over 100 M out and swamped in closing stages. |
| 8 | 10 | WINNING SUNSHINE (CB291) | H W Lai | -- | About 7Ls back in 10th at 1100 M, marginally closer but still in rear bunch tackling final bend, made some fair late ground but always held. |
| 9 | 5 | CAPITALAND (CE152) | H K Yim | -- | 6Ls down in 8th at 1100 M, 5Ls back in 8th off final bend, one-paced. |
| 10 | 7 | PERFECT TIME (CG249) | B Prebble | -- | Began slowest, soon 8Ls off speed in rear, not much closer on straightening, never dangerous. |
| 11 | 2 | SANBENITO (CC256) | R Quinn | CP-/B2/TT | Slowest away, 7Ls down in 9th at 1000 M, under pressure to improve from the back when hitting the homestretch, didn't manage it. |
| 12 | 11 | SUPER BALL (CD064) | D Dunn | B | 5Ls down in 7th at 1200 M, a little closer but still in 7th off home turn, had enough room on fence to quicken up if good enough before the gap closed 100 M out, not ridden out from then on. |
