Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | THE DUKE (CB282) | W C Marwing | B | Always travelling well racing 2-wide about 1L to 2Ls off pace through to home straight, quickened to lead over 200 M out, went clear. |
| 2 | 4 | FLYING MACHINE (CB082) | F Coetzee | TT | Raced a bit keenly on fence 2Ls off pace early stages, travelled better from 800 M marker, briefly caught in a pocket at top of straight, clear 250 M and ran on fairly well, no chance with winner, however. |
| 3 | 7 | HANDBAG DRAGON (BT253) | D Whyte | -- | Broke well but soon restrained to sit 2Ls or 3Ls off lead on fence from 900 M out to home turn, still 2Ls down 200 M out, kept on well without ever threatening the winner. |
| 4 | 6 | EXULTATION (BV223) | K H Ting | -- | No speed early on and settled 2-wide and 5Ls off front from 800 M out to home straight, ran on well to be nearest at the finish. |
| 5 | 8 | NEVER SAY NEVER (BT028) | M Cahill | SR/TT1 | Caught 3-wide 4Ls off pace 800 M out, closer but 4-wide turning for home, all out to be 2.5Ls down 200 M out, no extra. |
| 6 | 2 | MASTER YING (CB249) | W M Lai | -- | Prominent early before taking slender lead out 2-wide passing 800 M marker, shared lead entering stretch but collared by winner 300 M out, weakened close home. |
| 7 | 12 | GOOD LAD (CB123) | C Williams | -- | Slowest into stride and raced about 7Ls off pace in rear until final bend when about 5Ls down, stayed on okay in straight to be nearest at finish. |
| 8 | 1 | ETERNAL FUN (BT276) | E Saint-Martin | P- | Settled 4Ls to 5Ls off pace racing 2-wide 900 M out, 3Ls down on straightening, wasn't fully tested in straight owing to awkward position between horses from 300 M out. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 9 | 3 | RARE (BS153) | G Mosse | B | On fence 4Ls off pace 900 M out, slightly closer off home turn, never looked like getting competitive at any stage. |
| 10 | 11 | GOOD FRIENDS (BV213) | E Legrix | SR | Raced 3-wide 2Ls off pace 1000 M out, soon racing 2-wide and about 600 M out when still 2Ls off lead, soon under pressure and could only stay on at the same pace. |
| 11 | 5 | KIMBERLEY MINES (CA367) | A Marcus | -- | Soon led on fence until being headed by MASTER YING 800 M out, sharing lead and with every chance off home turn, soon grabbed by winner and dropped right out final 200 M. |
| 12 | 10 | DEREK'S CHOICE (BV137) | G Schofield | -- | No speed early on, never better than 4Ls to 5Ls off pace on fence through to home straight when under strong pressure, no impression. |
