| 1 | 8 | TIBER (CD155) | Y T Cheng | XB/TT | Amongst first few to begin, positioned 3rd 2 to 3 wide 4Ls back, closed steadily on bend to be 2Ls down, made strong run with winner and got closest at 200 M but just unable to pull back margin. |
| 2 | 3 | GOLD STRIKER (CD365) | D Whyte | -- | Jumped nicely, took a trail behind speed, had cover 3 to 4Ls back on rails, appreciated tempo and eased out on straightening, gradually pulled back ground but found margin beyond him last 200 M, solid effort. |
| 3 | 14 | PALACE GENERAL (CH629) | K S Tam | -- | Bounced out well, had plenty of pace and lead them easily, held a 3Ls advantage and ran them along on bend, still 2Ls clear turning, tackled at 300 M and just couldn't dash again. Stuck on well to make frame. |
| 4 | 13 | SEA OF JEWELS (CH628) | L Cassidy | TT | Moderate getaway, ended up behind midfield 10Ls back in 2 wide line, helped by tempo but unsuited by track pattern, lost position on bend, made run between horses turning and closed best of beaten brigade. |
| 5 | 10 | GOODY (CD239) | A Delpech | -- | Ordinary break as usual, settled well back 12Ls away in 2 wide line, had field in front on bend and well back (awkwardly placed) turning in, made plenty of ground last 300 M from an impossible spot. |
| 6 | 6 | SURVEY SURVEY (CH070) | O Doleuze | TT | Awkwardly away, positioned in midfield on the rails 5Ls back, checked at 1200 M, saved ground on bend to be 4Ls back in 5th turning in, briefly promised when shifting out but just kept on at one pace last 300 M. |
| 7 | 9 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | S Dye | SR | No speed from outset, took up spot at rear more than 12Ls off leaders, switched 3 wide on circle, had field to pass and switched to outside in straight, made many lengths down outside rail to be nearest on line. |
| 8 | 11 | SAFETY INVESTMENTS (CH626) | J Didham | BO | Even jump, ended up 7 to 8Ls back on rails, had a quiet run behind midfield, switched out on turning, made a little ground to 200 M but just turned in a one paced effort thereafter. |
| 9 | 2 | TOWN OF FIONN (CD106) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Ordinary break, took up a spot 8Ls back in 2 wide running line, not asked in mid-section, still well back to bend, offered little in straight and just battled in run to line. |
| 10 | 1 | PLANET RULER (CB359) | M Nunes | -- | Reasonable jump, faded back when unable to get closer, raced 2 wide behind midfield 7Ls from pace, urged along turning in and came to middle but only plodded last 300 M. |
| 11 | 5 | SUPREME CLASS (CG089) | F Coetzee | TT | Slow to begin, rushed along to recover into a spot in midfield, raced 2 wide 5Ls from leader in 5th, had easy time thereafter, switched out on turning but found little and weakened badly from 200 M when run ended. |
| 12 | 12 | BARBAJUAN (CH627) | B Stanley | CP/TT | Not much speed from outset, raced on rails towards rear 10Ls back, saved ground on bend, kept to fence in straight but found little in finish. |
| 13 | 7 | ROCK N ROLL KID (CE629) | E Legrix | -- | Began awkwardly, ended up 3 wide in midfield 6Ls back, always working without cover, under pressure turning, steadily weakened to be well beaten. |
| DISQ | 4 | CROWN'S MASTER (CH625) | K M Chin | TT | First to hit ground, settled prominently behind leader, had a reasonable trip 3Ls back but had to cart field up on bend, dashed well when balanced up to hit lead at 250 M, held rivals comfortably for a solid win. |
