Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | BIG KAHUNA (CG177) | B Prebble | B | Slowest away, recovered to be 9th or 10th about 5Ls or so off pace until the 600 M, pushed out into clear running 350 M out and quickened up nicely to lead 150 M out, driven out. |
| 2 | 5 | HOLD HANDS (CH116) | S Dye | SR | Raced greenly about 7Ls off speed early, fly-leapt 700 M out and ridden along, still 6Ls down in 12th on straightening, ran on well in closing stages but too late to catch winner. |
| 3 | 9 | CLOVIS (CH044) | Y T Cheng | -- | 3-back on fence 3Ls or 4Ls off pace in midfield until 600 M, briefly short of room 350 M out, clear at 300 M and every chance 1L back in 4th at 200 M, no follow through but did just enough for 3rd. |
| 4 | 2 | ABLE KNIGHT (CE079) | C Soumillon | H/TT | Switched from wide gate to race in rear about 8Ls off pace down the back, about 6Ls down off final bend but hampered at 350 M, stayed on fairly down the centre, nearest at finish. |
| 5 | 10 | GLOBAL LEADER (CG048) | A Starke | B | Dropped out 10Ls last at 1000 M, 6Ls down in 13th when checked at 350 M, ran on well down the centre of the track to get closest when race was over. |
| 6 | 6 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | G Mosse | -- | 2-wide and 4Ls down in 7th at 1000 M, about 3Ls down in midfield entering the stretch, given every hope to at least place but a bit too one-paced late on. |
| 7 | 7 | ARISTOCRACY (CG070) | E Saint-Martin | B1 | Over-raced in places, nice position 1 out 1 back in 4th until the 600 M, peeled out 3-wide at home turn, led narrowly 250 M out but faded once grabbed by winner about 100 M later. |
| 8 | 12 | HURRICANE WAY (CH039) | K L Chui | B | Crowded at start, 4-back on fence 6Ls off speed at 1000 M, no better than midfield when 4Ls down at home straight entrance and 2Ls down at 200 M, no further improvement. |
| 9 | 14 | BUDDIES POWER (CB201) | M W Leung | B/TT | Narrow lead very early on, sat less than 1L behind leader in 2nd from 1000 M to home turn, disputed the lead until about 150 M out when swallowed up by chasing pack. |
| 10 | 11 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | D Nikolic | B/XB/TT | Caught 3-wide no cover about 3Ls off pace in 5th at 1000 M, 4-wide and niggled along turning into stretch, all out when 1L down in mid-division at 200 M, tired late. |
| 11 | 4 | GOLDEN CROWN (CH100) | D Whyte | -- | On fence no worse than 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 1000 M to home turn, given every chance to at least place but beaten 150 M out (later found with irregular heartbeat and tendon injury). |
| 12 | 3 | RIVER TANGO (CG186) | A Delpech | B | 3-wide but with cover about 5Ls off pace in 8th at 1000 M, niggled along to try and improve turning for home, always well outpaced. |
| 13 | 13 | PLENTY OF TALENT (CE329) | M Nunes | -- | Never on terms or closer than 8Ls off pace at any stage, very tame display. |
| 14 | 1 | CHOICE AND CHANCE (CA381) | W M Lai | B | Restrained early but over-raced so strode to the front on fence clear by about 1L from 1000 M to home straight, swamped about 300 M and eased final 100 M. |
