Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | DESIGNS ON ROME (P270) | J Moreira | -- | Towards the rear, not hurried early stages, moved closer passing 600M and swung 3-wide for home, picked up pace gradually under top weight, joined leading group inside 50M, class prevailed in the end. |
| 2 | 11 | PACKING LLAREGYB (S109) | M Demuro | H/SR/XB | Settled 5Ls off the pace in midfield, held up early straight, responded well when gap opened up 300M, hit the line strongly and almost won it only to be denied by DESIGNS ON ROME at the post. |
| 3 | 4 | DOMINANT (N169) | N Rawiller | H | More prominent than usual, settled 2-wide in the group chasing leaders, travelled well and loomed a serious threat at 300M, led narrowly 150M, fought on well to the line, headed last strides. |
| 4 | 10 | HELENE SUPER STAR (S152) | K C Ng | TT | Led slowly early stages, relinquished lead near 1200M, tracked leader to straight, shifted out for clear run 300M, stayed on well and only beaten to 4th in a blanket finish. |
| 5 | 8 | KHAYA (P289) | K Teetan | E/P/TT | Slow to begin, sent forward taking the lead near 1200M, took them along at good pace, kept on evenly when drive out 450M, swamped by rivals inside 150M, not beaten far. |
| 6 | 6 | WILLIE CAZALS (N119) | M Chadwick | CP | Waited with in the rear, well off the pace early stages, crept closer to be 5Ls down 400M, ran on steadily down the outside. |
| 7 | 3 | CALIFORNIA MEMORY (CL135) | G Mosse | -- | Settled behind midfield 6-7Ls behind leader in middle stages, stayed on moderately over final 400M but offered no serious threat to leaders. |
| 8 | 12 | MR GNOCCHI (P080) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Never far off the pace, saved ground on the inside, kept on evenly in straight but lacked the needed response, always well held by leaders. |
| 9 | 5 | ENDOWING (N371) | O Doleuze | P | In mid-division 4-5Ls off the pace, shaken up 500M, had every chance to 150M, one paced thereon and steadied at 100M, eased towards the line. |
| 10 | 7 | BUBBLE CHIC (N369) | K C Leung | -- | Began very awkwardly, assumed a forward position just behind leader, found little to pressure 400M out, soon out of contention, weakened rapidly final 100M. |
