Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | SPARKLING STAR (CD055) | S K Sit | B | Began with them, lacked early speed and eased back to last, raced on rails 12Ls off pace, niggled to keep touch at rear, virtually last on turning, weaved between horses in straight, came with surging run at 200 M to get up on line. |
| 2 | 9 | CALCANDO (CE232) | F Coetzee | TT | Away well, pushed along to eventually take up running after 300 M, strode along in front at solid clip, held 1L advantage on turning, pinched break in straight, held off challengers until shadows of post. Solid effort. |
| 3 | 12 | WHIPLASH (CG072) | C K Tong | -- | Fastest to begin, crossed easily from wide alley to take spot on rails, restrained to race behind leader, had good run following speed 2Ls away, angled out on turning, chased gamely in straight to fight out 3 way finish. |
| 4 | 13 | LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) | M Odendaal | TT | Bounced out well, restrained to find cover, planted 3/4 wide in midfield 7Ls from speed, always working hard, began to make ground on turn, kept coming in straight to be closest at finish. Big run. (Inquiry into riding tactics.) |
| 5 | 4 | SUMMERVILLE POWER (CD398) | H W Lai | B | Began well, prominent early and slotted into prime 1 out 1 back position, forced to race 3 wide without cover, from 800 M, 3 to 4Ls away, swung a little wide into straight, stuck on well in straight without threatening winner. |
| 6 | 1 | CONESTOGA (CE313) | M Nunes | -- | Fast into stride, held forward position 3 back on fence 4Ls away, angled into 2 wide spot at 800 M, 3Ls down on turning and came with strong run at 350 M, battled to finish race off over latter stages. |
| 7 | 11 | CIRCULAR MACHINE (CG049) | Y T Cheng | -- | Standard beginning, pressed forward to take closer order, raced 5Ls off pace in 2 wide spot, unbalanced at 1200 M, had easy run throughout, amongst horses on turning, kept steadily making ground but unable to make real impression. |
| 8 | 8 | BOLD WIN (CE282) | B Prebble | B1 | Jumped with them, unable to hold forward spot and settled worse than midfield, raced 2 wide 8Ls away in middle stages, made 3 wide run on turn, closed off fairly without looking likely before being checked at 100 M. (Lost plate.) |
| 9 | 2 | WINNING BULLET (CE260) | R Fradd | -- | Slow to begin, lost ground when steadied, settled towards rear 9 to 10Ls from leaders, raced on rails not spending much to turn, again inconvenienced in straight at 200 M, closed off evenly thereafter. (Lost plate.) |
| 10 | 7 | GOOD PARTNER (CE221) | G Mosse | B1/TT1 | Amongst them early, lost position when tightened at 1200 M, raced 3 wide in midfield 5 to 6Ls away, niggled along on bend, back and amongst horses on turning, lacked usual turn of foot and only plodded to line. |
| 11 | 5 | WISE LOVER (CE095) | D Whyte | B | Average to break, urged along to take up spot, settled just off midfield 7 to 8Ls away on rail, in traffic on turn, hampered severely when going for run on rails at 200 M, had little chance thereafter. |
| 12 | 3 | COURAGEOUSHEART (CD202) | N Ryan | B | Standard beginning, drifted to rear from widest alley, raced 10Ls away in 2 wide spot, not asked in middle stages, well back on turning, never really got going and only passed tired runners late. |
| 13 | 14 | STRAIGHT VICTORY (CE328) | W M Lai | TT | Not quickly away, niggled to push through into midfield trail, raced 5Ls away on fence, began to struggle on turning, kept giving to hold ground to 200 M but was a spent force last furlong. Weakened out late. |
| 14 | 6 | GLOBAL WIN (CG109) | K L Chui | B | Began awkwardly, ridden with urgency and used up to cross to leaders girth, race 1 length away, always chasing in mid-section, moved up to challenge on turn, couldn't go on at 250 M and stopped quickly after early burn. |
