| 1 | 5 | KING HOGAN (CE257) | E Saint-Martin | B | Fair to jump, settled 6Ls back in running line, sectionals standard but had reasonable run, took off 3-wide passing Rock, loomed 4-wide turning and came with a strong run down middle to take lead and hold off late challenger. |
| 2 | 12 | PALETTE THE BEST (CH151) | F Coetzee | -- | Bumped at jump, taken in behind and ended up sharing rear 5-6Ls back racing 2-wide, had a fair run throughout, well back with field to beat on turning, shifted out and charged last 200 M to narrowly miss. |
| 3 | 9 | AMSTERDAM (CE140) | M Nunes | XB/H/TT | No pace early and allowed to drop in at rear, raced on rails 5Ls back behind midfield, not asked in mid-section, saved ground on bend, held up to 200 M but closed nicely when clear to secure a place. |
| 4 | 8 | WARM EMBRACES (CJ162) | Y T Cheng | -- | Only fairly away, angled into a midfield spot 4Ls away in running line, had an easy run thereafter, in between horses turning, lost run at 200 M, recovered well to close off evenly to match frame. |
| 5 | 3 | LOCAL POWER (CH296) | B Prebble | -- | Began with first few, pushed on to take prominent role 2Ls back in 2-wide line, travelled well throughout, closer enough on turning in, threatened at 150 M but unable continue run and just plugged last bit. |
| 6 | 1 | INFINITE DELIGHT (CG314) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Showed speed from outset, held a prominent role behind the leader, had a reasonable run despite even sections, eased out and briefly took over on turning, unable to sustain effort last 200 M just holding ground in run to line. |
| 7 | 4 | THE WITCH'S BROOM (CH231) | H W Lai | -- | Standard getaway, settled in a midfield spot on rails 3Ls back, had an ideal run throughout, saved ground on bend, held up to 200 M, made even progress once clear. |
| 8 | 7 | SOLAR POWER (CE047) | C K Tong | TT | Began well, prominent early racing 4-wide leaving straight, raced 3-wide with cover 5Ls back thereafter, shuffled back approaching bend, made some headway down middle before run ended at 100 M. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 9 | 2 | FANTASTIC DANCER (CJ001) | G Mosse | B | First to hit ground, pushed on working hard to take up running, set a reasonable speed in front, held a narrow advantage on turning, quickly overhauled and dropped out easily thereafter. |
| 10 | 10 | LIVERBIRD (CE055) | S K Sit | B | Out in line, lacked early pace and drifted back to be with last few 6 or so lengths back, raced 3-wide with cover, still well back to bend, lacked a finish and struggled in run to line. |
| 11 | 6 | PRIME TARGET (CH242) | G Boss | -- | Out well, pushed on in search of prominent spot, 5-wide early before using reserves to race outside leader, had a fair run thereafter, struggling on bend, weakened easily in straight. (See Racing Incidents.) |
