| 1 | 11 | MR LUMIERES (B179) | M F Poon | -- | Broke well, amongst the leaders early before shifting back to trailing position in 3rd on the rail, switched out to challenge entering home straight and hit the front over 250 metres out, hung on well to the line. |
| 2 | 9 | LOVING A BOOM (C122) | M Chadwick | B/XB | Badly crowded at start dropping well behind, travelled keenly behind runners coming off the Rock, switched out for a run entering home straight, made significant progress down the centre of the track and did best work late. |
| 3 | 3 | YEE CHEONG BABY (C273) | Z Purton | -- | Badly crowded at the start losing ground, recovered steadily under pressure to be better than midfield in 4th over 3L back, came wide into straight, fought on steadily without threatening. |
| 4 | 12 | CUE THE MUSIC (C495) | A Badel | SR1/TT1 | Began fairly from the one draw, settled in forward of midfield on the rail in 5th, saved ground on the inside turning for home, fought on steadily without threatening. |

| 10 | 4 | MOMENT OF POWER (V138) | K H Chan | B | Driven forward from a wide gate to duel for lead, persevered with quick pace to gain slender advantage approaching home bend, held similar 2-wide position into straight and soon weakened. (Jockey warned) |
