Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | STRAIGHT FORWARD (L100) | M L Yeung | -- | Went forward to sit outside leader, advantaged by slow sections, threw down the gauntlet on turning, produced good turn of foot to take lead and hold margin strongly to the line. |
| 2 | 11 | KING OF REASON (M154) | M Du Plessis | H | Out nicely, assumed ideal spot on leaders back, had all favours with slow speed, took inside runs and dashed well, snared 2nd place narrowly. |
| 3 | 2 | SILVER GRECIAN (L323) | B Prebble | SR/XB/TT | Slotted into ideal spot 1 out 1 back, helped by slow tempo, loomed on straightening but couldn't peg back margin when they dashed hard final furlong. |
| 4 | 8 | HAPPY TUMBLER (L048) | J Lloyd | XB | Out with then, raced 3-4ls back on rails, didn't settle with slow tempo, angled out on turning and closed as well as possible given race developed into a sprint home. |
| 5 | 7 | FINEZZA (M035) | O Doleuze | B/XB | Taken back from a wide gate and raced nearer to rear as usual, tempo against in mid section, came 3 wide from rock, made nice progress down middle to be nearest on line. |
| 6 | 3 | FLASHING AURA (L404) | W C Marwing | TT | Assumed a midfield role 4-5ls back in two wide line, fair run despite slow speed, peeled wider and made some steady ground without looking likely. |
| 7 | 6 | EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) | K C Leung | H/CP | Showed early speed and was left in front with no real challengers, set slow pace in middle stages, overhauled soon after turning and was one paced in straight. |
| 8 | 5 | CALIFORNIA DUDE (N221) | M Chadwick | TT | No early speed and drifted back to last on rails, slow tempo against in mid section, well back and kept to rails turning, closed nicely final 200m. |
| 9 | 4 | FUN RIDER (CK231) | T Angland | B | Settled just off midfield 6ls back in running line, harmed by slow tempo throughout and difficult to settle, well back to bend, just held ground |
| 10 | 10 | SUNRISE (CK026) | D Whyte | B | Went forward from a wide gate but unable to slot in, trapped 3 wide without cover in midfield 4-5ls back, aided by steady tempo, ridden along turning, folded final furlong. |
| 11 | 9 | PERFECT MOMENT (N168) | T Clark | SR/TT | Settled behind midfield on rails 5-6ls back, unsuited by slow tempo, still rearward turning, made no real impression. |
| 12 | 1 | MR BOND (M098) | T H So | -- | Settled towards rear, saddle shifted at 600m and was unable to take part thereafter. |
