| 1 | 7 | TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) | A Suborics | B/H | Given a positive ride and sat handily just off leaders, driven near 400 M and swept to the front 250 M out, battled well when strongly challenged by the runner-up in late stages. Won gutsily. |
| 2 | 10 | ABSOLUTE HEDGE (L032) | J Lloyd | TT | Badly hampered soon after the jump, raced with last few before going forward passing 600 M, kicked clear along with the winner final 200 M, put in good late work but was always held. |
| 3 | 5 | MOON CHASER (CK013) | D Whyte | -- | Unable to cross on jumping from draw 10, dropped back to midfield for cover, attempted a narrow run down the inside final 350 M, kept on for a non threatening 3rd. (Jockey questioned re his riding from 300 M to 200 M.) |

| 6 | 11 | MY MATE ADRIC (L004) | K C Leung | H | Emerged to lead from 1100 M and went a sound gallop up front, under pressure nearing 400 M, kept on till 200 M and found no extra in late stages. |
| 7 | 6 | MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) | G Cheyne | TT | Pressed on to obtain a rail position soon after the start, never far off leaders but couldn't find another gear when the race got serious, weakened inside 150 M. |
| 8 | 12 | GALLANT GALLOP (L080) | W M Lai | TT | Taken across from a wide barrier, settled in 2nd last 7Ls behind leader, driven 400 M from home but found limited response only, checked near 250 M. |
