| 1 | 2 | AMBITIOUS DRAGON (CK399) | M Guyon | B | Caught wide early, restrained to a rearward position 8Ls behind leaders, went through a gap 350M and showed impressive acceleration to join leader near 200M, surged ahead 150M out and kept on strongly to line. |
| 2 | 3 | XTENSION (M097) | J Lloyd | H/XB | Jumped well, prominently placed behind leaders, travelled strongly to straight and quickly accelerated to lead 350M out, joined by winner near 200M, rallied on but was well held at the finish. |
| 3 | 4 | LET ME HANDLE IT (CL287) | B Doyle | -- | Towards the rear 6-9Ls off the pace, guided to the outside for clear passage passing 500M, stayed on well to go 3rd 150M from home but offered little threat to the top two. |
| 4 | 6 | JACOBEE (CL179) | Z Purton | H/TT | Held up behind mid-division, turned 3-wide over the home turn, made good progress but was sandwiched near 200M and severely checked, re-gathered and stayed on well over late stages to claim 4th. |
| 5 | 14 | SEMOS (M125) | W C Marwing | SR | Slowly away, driven along the fence and improved to a position ahead of midfield, had every chance in straight, moved to 3rd briefly near 200M, one paced late stages. |
| 6 | 8 | MILITARY MOVE (M077) | D Oliver | XB/H | Broke well, restrained to a midfield position along the 2-path, difficult to settle from 1000M-800M, kept on one paced to the line. |
| 7 | 7 | OUTDOOR PEGASUS (CL173) | H W Lai | TT | Positioned 2-wide in midfield, angled out to clear 450M but stayed on only fairly. |
| 8 | 13 | VICTOR DELIGHT (M121) | G Mosse | TT | Slowly away, held up mid-division along the fence, held up early straight and not pace to challenge when clear. |
| 9 | 10 | FAT CHOY OOHLALA (CL250) | B Prebble | B | Not hurried early, dropped back to near last 8-9Ls off the pace, hampered 500M out, ran on only fairly from the rear. |
| 10 | 5 | FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) | O Doleuze | XB/H | Began awkwardly then dropped back to last over 10Ls off the pace, made a wide turn for home, badly hampered 500M out and was pushed wider, not quickened and ran past beaten runners only. |
| 11 | 9 | HANDSOME ZULU (M024) | M Du Plessis | B | Ordinary jump, driven forward to race at the hindquarters of the leader, had little left when pressed 400M, out of contention inside 200M. |
| 12 | 11 | MARK UP (CK247) | G Cheyne | B- | Set good early pace, led to nearing 350M, dropped out. |
| 13 | 12 | TREASURE LANDS (CL407) | D Whyte | SR | Positively ridden, settled just off the pace in 2nd flight, didn't respond to pressure on straightening, dropped off 300M out, heavily eased. |
| 14 | 1 | LITTLE BRIDGE (CL285) | Y T Cheng | TT | Caught 3-wide no cover in mid-field, under serious pressure 500M out, weakened tamely passing 400M and finished tailed-out. |
