Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | MELBOURNE HALL (D118) | M Chadwick | B/XB | Steadied at first bend & raced just worse than midfield between runners. Eased wider entering last section when 6L from lead, second widest on straightening before finishing strongly to take lead inside final 50m & win softly. |
| 2 | 5 | HERO STAR (D033) | S De Sousa | TT | Showed customary early speed to lead. Set fast mid-race fractions, straightened with a 3L lead, held lead until over-run by winner inside final 50m. Very brave to hold second given speed set in front. |
| 3 | 8 | SUCCESS FIGHTER (G080) | H Bentley | B/TT | Got back to race second last away from rail. Eased wider just before cornering when just 8L from the lead before finishing strongly in final furlong to just miss second on the wire. |
| 4 | 6 | ISLAND SHINE (D040) | A Hamelin | TT | Raced in midfield between runners throughout. Entered last section 5.5L from lead before finishing off steadily to be fourth without threatening. |
| 5 | 3 | TRIPLE TRIPLE (C359) | Z Purton | CP/TT | Stumbled at the start but recovered to get nice run 1,1 in middle stages. Straightened in third position when about 4L from run-away leader but could only maintain deficit to the line. |
| 6 | 1 | EQUILIBRIUM TURBO (E195) | L Hewitson | CP-/H/B1 | Didn't begin fast but made up some ground along the inside & raced in midfield in middle stages. Moved away from the rail just before cornering, was finishing off one paced before awkward near heels at 75m, even late. |
| 7 | 4 | YOUNG LIFE FOREVER (G308) | K C Leung | -- | Drifted back to race third last on the rail. Moved away from the rail just before cornering when 7.5L behind before passing a couple in the final stages when running onto midfield. |
| 8 | 9 | REGENT GLORY (E323) | L Currie | -- | Pushed forward but couldn't go the early speed of the leader. Raced second, came under hard riding to hold position near the 500m, straightened in second when about 3L from the lead before weakening out quickly last 150m. |
| 9 | 10 | HAPPY SOUL (G249) | M F Poon | CP/TT | Was trapped racing wide in midfield before being left without cover from the 800m. Entered last section 5.5L from the lead but could finish only one paced in last furlong after covering additional ground in middle stages. |
| 10 | 11 | WIN WIN CHARITY (G248) | C Y Ho | XB/TT | Steadied from outside gate & taken back to a clear last. Stayed nearer to the inside on cornering when a long way from the lead before making up a few lengths but only passing a couple of tiring rivals. Never involved. |
| 11 | 2 | ABOVE ALL (D397) | R Maia | H/XB | Ridden forward early when very wide at first bend before being steadied & taken back to race worse than midfield from the 900m. Shunted wider passing 500m, was the widest on cornering before weakening out in final 150m. |
| 12 | 7 | PERFECT ROCK (G175) | H W Lai | B1 | Raced forth along the rail in early & middle stages. Began yielding ground from the 450m mark before weakening badly in the straight to be distant last. |
