Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | TRUST ME (CA144) | W M Lai | B | Jumped best before electing to sit 1L off the pace from 800 M. Ran on well in straight and took charge 200 M out to win going away. |
| 2 | 3 | EVER MORE (CB130) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Led briefly before sitting outside the leader about 1L back from 700 M. Kept on well in straight and hit front briefly 200 M out but unable to sprint home final 200 M. |
| 3 | 6 | GRASS HOPPER (CD050) | N Ryan | CP-/TT2 | Always in touch. 2Ls back after steadying off heels at 600 M. Ran on steadily in straight for a distant 3rd. |
| 4 | 9 | SMARTY FACE (CE051) | M W Leung | B2 | Niggled along continuously to be in midfield or better from 800 M. Awkwardly placed approaching home turn when 2Ls off the pace. Ran on steadily in straight to just miss a distant 3rd. |
| 5 | 8 | MILLION CHASE (CD132) | O Doleuze | CP-/H | Soon forward of midfield about 2Ls off the speed. 4Ls down after checking off heels at 600 M. Kept on without threatening principals in straight. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 6 | 10 | KING PALM (CC118) | K S Yu | B | Slowly away. At rear. Still 6Ls or so down upon straightening. Made up steady ground final 200 M but simply had too much to do. |
| 7 | 12 | MAGNIFICENT HORSE (CD103) | Y T Cheng | V | Midfield or better. Steadied off heels at 800 M and inconvenienced at 600 M. Shifted out turning in but only kept on one-paced to the line. |
| 8 | 2 | GOLDEN FARM (CA069) | H W Lai | B | Began awkwardly but recovered to take up running at 800 M. Headed when no extra 250 M out. |
| 9 | 4 | BAJAN BELL (CG142) | B Prebble | -- | Midfield or better but 4-wide. Under pressure but hung out rounding the turn at 600 M. 3Ls down turning in. Never looked dangerous in straight. |
| 10 | 7 | PRIME MOVER (CG028) | G Schofield | B/TT1 | Towards rear. 4Ls or so back turning in. Never ran on in straight. |
| 11 | 11 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | F Coetzee | TT | Always at rear. Never in the hunt. |
| 12 | 1 | CARELESS WHISPER (CE123) | D Whyte | B/TT | Bumped shortly after start. Towards rear early before moving up to midfield but had to check off heels at 600 M. Weakened badly 200 M out. (Heart irregularity.) |
