| 1 | 10 | TIME AFTER TIME (M259) | J Lloyd | XB/TT | Broke well, became difficult to settle when being crossed 1000M, well placed to strike passing 400M, swept to the front 200M, kept on strongly. |
| 2 | 6 | TAI SING YEH (L037) | D Whyte | B1 | Held up near last along the rails, travelled well but had no clear run early straight, finished off strongly and would have been closer. |
| 3 | 9 | GROOVY (L401) | M Du Plessis | -- | Always prominent in 3rd, lacked winner's acceleration, kept on evenly final 200M, lost 2nd place near line. |
| 4 | 2 | FLYING COLOURS (CJ111) | T Angland | B/XB | In midfield, shuffled back when checked 1000M, plugged on down the home straight but was never going to win. |
| 5 | 11 | PAGANINI'S SOUL (L373) | W M Lai | XB/TT | Towards the rear 5Ls off the pace, switched outwide 500M, stayed on final 300M. |
| 6 | 4 | FINAL ANSWER (L178) | T Clark | XB/TT | One out one back, had every chance in straight, one paced final 200M. |
| 7 | 12 | TOUCH GO (L254) | H W Lai | -- | Taken back from draw 12, settled last 6Ls off the pace, had no clear run until 200M, made late progress. |
| 8 | 1 | DYNAMIC BLITZ (CJ339) | C K Tong | XB | Slow to begin, 4Ls back in 8th, ran on one paced under pressure passing 400M, never a threat. |
| 8 | 5 | BLAZE KING (CK104) | M L Yeung | TT | Sped to the lead, took them along at good pace, headed near 200M, no extra. |
| 10 | 3 | GOOD WORDS (L371) | M Chadwick | TT | In mid-division, strode closer to pace down the back straight but unable to find cover, caught 4-wide throughout, weakened 300M out. |
| 11 | 8 | WINDICATOR POWER (L424) | N Callan | P/TT | Settled in midfield 3-wide, checked 600M out and pushed wider over the turn, effort soon flattened out inside 300M. |
| 12 | 7 | TUSCAN SPIRIT (CK055) | U Rispoli | -- | Close up in the first half, outpaced from 600M, faded to last nearing 150M. |
