1 | 8 | NATURAL CHAMPION (P194) | B Prebble | H | Rolled to occupy the box seat, dashed on well and won comfortably by 2Ls. |
2 | 13 | INFINITE COURAGE (P057) | M Chadwick | CP | Ridden to take the fence and led by 3/4L at good tempo, kept on strongly to claim 2nd but never match with the winner. |
3 | 6 | MIZZEN GREY (N192) | W M Lai | -- | Began awkwardly, then settled 4Ls behind the leader on the fence, ran on gradually but without any threats to the first two. |
4 | 4 | PRINCE OF SUNSHINE (M017) | D Whyte | P | Pushed to settle 5Ls behind the leader from a wide gate, however trapped 3 wide without cover throughout, ran on nicely for 4th. |
5 | 10 | SECRETARY OF STATE (N231) | J Moreira | B | Taken back from a wide barrier, settled 7.5Ls off the leader 2 wide with cover, made minor ground in straight. |
6 | 14 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | C K Tong | B | Raced midfield, settled 6Ls behind the leader on the fence, made some progress along the inside run until 100M weakened. |
7 | 11 | TIPPERARY DAVOR (N301) | H W Lai | B/XB | Raced midfield, travelled 4Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, one paced until final 100M weakened. |

9 | 9 | ALL MY BENEFIT (P073) | C Y Ho | TT | Prominent, travelled 2Ls off the leader 2 wide with cover, ridden rounding the home turn but only kept on one pace until 200M flattened. |
10 | 12 | JOLLY GOOD (CL134) | T H So | B2 | Taken back from a wide gate, travelled 8Ls behind the leader on the fence, never a factor. |
11 | 1 | MALHECHOR GOLD (M358) | G Mosse | TT2 | Taken back from a wide gate, settled 8Ls behind the leader 3 wide with cover, never looked likely. (Heart Irregularity) |
12 | 5 | EASY AHEAD (CK212) | N Callan | H/TT | Failed to muster despite hard ridden along, then travelled 6Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, never ran on. |
13 | 2 | SUISSE D'OR (CL195) | Z Purton | B | Pushed forward to park outside the leader at good sectionals, under pressure rounding the Home Turn, eased down shortly after straightening. (Questioned for performance, see incident report) |
