Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | GREENESSY (CE001) | Y T Cheng | CP | Awkward to begin. At tail. Over 10Ls back after first turn. Enjoy easy trip throughout. Improved on bridle in a 3-wide spot rounding home. Still last after turning. Responded final 300 M and took charge at 100 M for good win. |
| 2 | 8 | SOPRANO (CE177) | A Delpech | B/TT | Began only fairly. Never far off. Midfield on fence till easing 1 off at 800 M. Turned home 2Ls behind in 5th. Didn't find much room until 200 M. Late impression when clear, but was no threat to winner. |
| 3 | 5 | SYLLABUS (CD388) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Average to begin. Forward in 3rd. 2-wide no cover in a prominent spot. 5Ls behind lead on back stretch. Pressured on bend to race outside leader's girth. Briefly lead after 200 M and couldn't match strides with top pair final 100 M. |
| 4 | 6 | BEAR DOMINANCE (CD235) | S Dye | B | Began slowly then checked. Settled 2-wide with cover in 3rd last. 8-9Ls back at 1000 M. Pressured from 600 M and improved 3-wide on bend. 3rd after straightening. Had all chances to claim place but lacked sprint to go with them. |
| 5 | 7 | MIGHTY HUGO (CB413) | D Whyte | -- | Away very well. Sat behind leader on rail in a distant 2nd. Followed leader to straight. Hit traffic soon after straightening until 200 M. Ran on fairly once in clear. Very one-paced. |
| 6 | 3 | LIBERAL'S CHOICE (CC345) | B Prebble | B | Broke well. Set decent pace on fence throughout. Led by 5Ls at 1400 M. Held good lead till 600 M. Edged by a neck on straightening. Tackled at 200 M and couldn't sustain effort thereafter. |
| 7 | 1 | FAMOUS DANCER (CD353) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Began fairly. Kept towards the rear on rail. Was difficult to settle early stages. Over 8Ls off speed halfway. Took closer order on straightening, but lacked turn of foot to challenge. |
