Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | VENGEANCE OF RAIN (CD142) | A Delpech | TT | 7Ls behind when 2-wide in 9th at 1200 M, 4Ls down and niggled slightly in mid-division at 600 M, picked up well from top of stretch to lead inside final 100 M, won going away. |
| 2 | 9 | FLORAL DYNAMITE (CB298) | F Coetzee | TT | Keen early but settled about 2Ls off pace in 2nd or 3rd on fence from 1400 M to homestretch, every chance when taking up the lead 150 M out, soon headed, winner too good. |
| 3 | 2 | SATURN (CD154) | O Doleuze | P/H | Head up at 1800 M, soon settled 3Ls off pace on fence in 4th at 1200 M, 3Ls back in 5th off final bend, looked like being swamped at 200 M but battled back gamely closing stages for a place. |
| 4 | 7 | RED PEPPER (CA196) | R Fradd | -- | On fence 11Ls off pace in 12th at 1400 M, still towards rear when 4-wide into stretch and 6Ls down, ran on strongly and narrowly missed a place. |
| 5 | 14 | LUCKSWELL (CA171) | G Schofield | -- | Led out 2-wide at 1600 M, clear by 2Ls on fence at 1200 M, disputing lead at 400 M and 200 M, headed 150 M out but still stayed on gamely. |
| 6 | 5 | INDUSTRIAL SUCCESS (CC317) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Briefly 4-wide without cover at 1400 M but got in 2-wide with cover at 1200 M when 6Ls behind lead in 8th, 3Ls behind when 3-wide in 5th at final bend, always held by principals. |
| 7 | 6 | PRECISION (CA209) | B Prebble | V | In 6th place 5Ls off pace when 2-wide at 1200 M, 3Ls back in 7th when 2-wide off home turn, failed to quicken up. |
| 8 | 3 | ROOSEVELT (CD115) | D Holland | -- | Didn't break well, keen early on with head up, 13Ls last at 1200 M, 3-wide off final bend when 7Ls down in 13th, made some minor late ground, never nearer. |
| 9 | 13 | AGILITY (CC361) | S Dye | -- | 5Ls off pace in mid-division on fence at 1200 M, same margin off lead in 9th entering straight, looked held when disappointed for running and steadied at 200 M, no late impression. |
| 10 | 12 | NATIVE DREAM (CD222) | C Brown | V | Always worse than midfield, 3-wide with cover when 8Ls off pace in 10th at 1200 M, 5Ls back in 10th off final bend, one-paced. |
| 11 | 8 | HIMALAYA (CC004) | C Williams | B | 12Ls off pace and one from rear at 1400 M, went 4-wide without cover from 700 M to be 5-wide (widest of all) entering straight when 8Ls last, no threat. |
| 12 | 4 | BEETHOVEN (CC133) | G Mosse | B | 5-wide at 1800 M but pressed on to be 2Ls off pace in 2nd out 2-wide at 1400 M, disputed lead entering home straight and all out when a neck 2nd at 200 M, faded markedly final 150 M. |
| 13 | 11 | COME SEE YOU (CA368) | K M Chin | B | Never had any cover, 3-wide and 4Ls off pace in 5th at 1200 M, 1L down in 3rd out wide at 800 M, 2Ls down in 4th and toiling entering homestretch, gone 200 M out. |
| 14 | 1 | PALETTE NATURAL (CB284) | D Whyte | -- | Never got involved, 10Ls behind in 11th at 1200 M, 6Ls back in 12th at home turn when 3-wide, no impression. |
