| 1 | 4 | HELENE WITTY (CL228) | G Mosse | TT | Quickly off the block. Assumed lead and led unchallenged with total control in slow sectional time. Sprinted away under an all out drive and had just enough to hold off a late challenge. |
| 2 | 10 | SUMMER DASH (M105) | B Prebble | -- | Clean jump. Gave up too much room to the winner in slow time, came charging late and just missed catching the winner at the wire. |
| 3 | 1 | ANTIPASTO (CK213) | C Y Ho | B | Quickly away. Prominent, closest one to catch the winner but only managed to hold on for third. |
| 4 | 7 | SLEEP WELL (CK036) | M L Yeung | XB/TT | Fair jump. Tracked leaders along the rail. All out, no threat. |
| 5 | 5 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | W C Marwing | TT | Quick start. Chased leader. All chance, one pace. |
| 6 | 8 | SADDLERS LODGE (CL406) | D Whyte | B/SR | Fair jump. In touch, quickened well in the straight, unable to sustain the good run and finished one pace late. |
| 7 | 6 | GLORY OF INDIA (CK130) | J Lloyd | TT | Slowly away. Rear. Too far behind, ran on, too little too late. |
| 8 | 3 | TOM'S EIGHTH (CL087) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Missed jump and settled in rear. Blocked for a long time in the straight. Came free late, finished well. |
| 9 | 9 | FINEZZA (M035) | Z Purton | CP/XB | Fair jump. Taken back to rear at once. Last along the fence, never fired coming home. |
| 10 | 11 | VICTORY MASCOT (CJ243) | C K Tong | B/TT | Bumped hard after the break. Raced without cover 3-wide around. One pace coming home. |
| 11 | 12 | GOLDMEN Y Y (CL036) | M Du Plessis | -- | Broke to his left and trailed. Always in the rear. Very wide at top of the straight. No match here. |
| 12 | 2 | MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) | H W Lai | B/H | Fair jump. One of the two backmarkers. Widest of all at top of the straight, soon beaten. |
