Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | PLEASURE GAINS (P246) | Z Purton | -- | Soon guided to the fence, settled nicely behind midfield, had to switch ground when held up for clear run near 300M, squeezed through late on under confident riding, got up near the line. |
| 2 | 3 | SUPREME ESSENCE (N401) | O Doleuze | H/TT2 | Dropped back from wide barrier, travelled nicely towards the rear in a strongly run race, pulled out inside 350M and quickened well into contention, came close to win but couldn't match pace of winner late stages. |
| 3 | 8 | BULLISH BOY (P008) | M Chadwick | TT | Tracked leader first 600M before speeding to the lead, set strong pace to straight, kept on well to the line only to be collared by first two near the finish. |
| 4 | 11 | COOL BEAN (N076) | D Whyte | XB1 | Broke well from draw 1, held up 3Ls behind leader in a strongly run race, came with a threatening run inside 300M but was checked nearing 50M and out of contention. |
| 5 | 10 | UWILLBEGLORIOUS (N212) | N Pinna | B | Not hurried after the start, taken back to last 7Ls off the good pace, made some progress turning home but never a serious threat to leaders. |
| 6 | 7 | HO HO LIFE (L209) | C K Tong | B | Held up 2-wide in mid-division, driven along 300M but could only keep on at the same pace. |
| 7 | 4 | ABSOLUTE FANTASY (M284) | A Suborics | TT | Tracked leaders in a strongly run race, had his chance before weakening passing 200M. |
| 8 | 9 | SUPER STRIKE (L393) | K Teetan | B | Restrained to a rearward position after the start, driven 400M but made limited progress only. |
| 9 | 1 | EMPEROR CLAUDIUS (M128) | T Angland | P/XB | Sped to the front setting good pace, led until halfway, all out 400M, no extra and eased 200M from home. |
| 10 | 5 | TODOS CON SUERTE (P350) | T H So | -- | Caught 3-wide without cover in midfield, strode closer to pace nearing back straight, struggled to keep up 500M out, soon weakened out of contention. |
| 11 | 6 | ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) | C O'Donoghue | B | Taken back, settled near rear along the 3-path, brought widest 400M but found nothing in reserve, ran well below par. |
| 12 | 12 | FOLLOW THE WIND (M331) | K C Ng | -- | Settled 3-wide in midfield, outpaced 600M, weakened tamely, tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
