| 1 | 7 | OUR JET (CD128) | D Whyte | -- | Awkwardly away, in 2nd place out 2-wide 1L off pace until 500 M, disputing lead off home turn, clear over 250 M out, drew clear, comfortably. |
| 2 | 4 | GRANDWAY SHUTTLE (CB424) | D Dunn | B | Had the run of the race in 3rd about 2Ls off the speed until home straight, still 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, no chance with winner but went 2nd 100 M out. |
| 3 | 11 | THE WORLD OF LOVE (CC066) | R Fradd | -- | No better than 4Ls off the pace when worse than midfield and 2 or 3-wide (with cover) until the home turn, kept on strongly, nearest at finish. |
| 4 | 12 | HEKYLL N' JYDE (CC337) | S Dye | -- | 2-wide and 3Ls off the speed in 4th at 800 M and roughly the same entering straight when under strong pressure, one-paced on the run-in. |
| 5 | 2 | SNIPPETYIYEA (CB311) | T Mundry | -- | Towards inner about 5Ls off pace in midfield until home straight, kept on only fairly thereafter. |
| 5 | 6 | NATIVE LANGUAGE (CB116) | A Marcus | B | About 5Ls or 6Ls off the pace and mostly 2-wide from gates to home straight, kept on at same pace latter stages. |
| 7 | 10 | SPEEDY EXPRESS (CB365) | K McEvoy | B | Soon led on fence, never clear by more than a length until the 600 M, joined entering straight and headed about 300 M out, faded inside final 100 M. |
| 8 | 8 | AURELIAN (CC025) | Y T Cheng | H | Crowded at the jump, one from rear and 8Ls off the speed 800 M out, about 9Ls down entering straight, moderate late headway in straight. |
| 9 | 1 | KALIMANTAN (CB262) | C K Tong | -- | About 3-wide at 1000 M but had cover, no worse than 4Ls off the speed in 4th or 5th until turning for home, one-paced in the stretch. |
| 10 | 9 | NAMJONG TREASURE (CC254) | W Smith | -- | Checked at the start, 6Ls off the pace in 8th on the fence at 800 M, badly checked 600 M out but 8Ls off the pace and out of the race, no chance but ran on fairly in the straight. |
| 11 | 3 | GOLD MASTER (CC365) | S K Sit | P-/SR2 | Awkwardly and slowest away, in rear at least 8Ls off the speed until home straight, never a factor. |
