| 1 | 6 | PRIVATE SECRETARY (D127) | C Y Ho | TT1 | Jumped on terms from draw 1, never far off from leaders, travelled well into straight, quickened up smartly to lead inside 200M, kept on well to score debut win under mainly hands and heels riding. |
| 2 | 4 | HAPPY DRAGON (B099) | M Chadwick | H | From wide draw shifted across behind runners soon after the jump, settled down behind midfield, moved up to challenge passing 300M, chased winner hard final stages but always held. |
| 3 | 11 | BAND OF BROTHERS (C135) | K Teetan | -- | Close up to early leaders before taking up a midfield position, ran on moderately on straightening, got up 3rd close home. |
| 4 | 7 | BUTTERFIELD (C462) | G van Niekerk | XB/TT | Caught wide no cover entering first bend, moved up to join leader, fought on early straight, not finishing pace of eventual winner inside 250M, dropped to 4th close home. |
| 5 | 10 | HARMONY HERO (B217) | A Badel | B/H/TT | Not hurried early stages, races towards the rear in 10th spot, niggled along 500M, gave limited response in straight, not reached leaders. |
| 6 | 9 | GOOD OMEN (B208) | L Hewitson | B | Dropped back to last 6Ls off the pace, switched wide 400M to challenge, ran on only fairly, never able to challenge leaders. |

| 8 | 3 | RACING FIGHTER (B285) | T H So | B-/TT | Jumped well, restrained to race near last 5-6Ls back, failed to quicken passing 400M, never dangerous. |
| 9 | 8 | THE HULK (C431) | J Moreira | XB | Tracked leaders, found disappointingly little turning home, dropped away passing 200M. (Trainer reported hearing harsh breathing noise upon returning to the scale.) |
| 10 | 1 | HEZTHEWONFORUS (B287) | B Shinn | SR | Soon led, pressed by rival from 1000M, lacked extra turning home, weakened out of contention 250M. |
| 11 | 12 | SUPER TURBO (V310) | M F Poon | B | Settled down in mid-division 3-wide, couldn't go on turning for home, soon behind. (Lame next day.) |
| 12 | 2 | GRACEANDMERCY (C296) | S De Sousa | XB | In midfield early stages, caught wide no cover from 1200M, strode closer to pace but remained wide to straight, soon beaten on straightening. |
