| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 13 | MASTER ABLE (CD349) | M Nunes | B | Always rear about 7Ls off the pace, close to heels at 800 M and steadied, same at 600 M with head up, still 7Ls last off final bend, ran on well to lead 50 M out, gamely. |
| 2 | 4 | ARROGANCE (CA177) | Y T Cheng | B | Mostly midfield or better on fence about 4Ls off speed until home turn, stayed on pretty well to grab 2nd on the line. |
| 3 | 8 | OPERA MAGIC (CB404) | C W Wong | B | Prominent early, sent on to lead out 2-wide by 1L from 800 M to home turn, only grabbed by winner 50 M out and lost the quinella on the line, creditable effort. |
| 4 | 9 | MAGIC TOUCH (CB394) | D Whyte | P | In rear bunch 6Ls off pace and 3-wide no cover down backstretch, made steady headway in home straight but just missed out on a place. |
| 5 | 5 | SHINING DAY (CE163) | B Prebble | B/TT | Led on fence at 1200 M but headed at 800 M and 1L off pace in 2nd until home turn, had every chance to pick up and win but one-paced and swamped for a place close home. |
| 6 | 14 | ONLY YOU (CD210) | A Delpech | -- | Well placed about 2Ls or 3Ls off pace and 2-wide in 3rd or so until home turn, failed to follow through. |
| 7 | 12 | NAMJONG GOODLUCK (CE267) | S Dye | B | Slowest away, ridden along towards rear 6Ls off speed on fence at 800 M, one-paced in home straight and didn't bother principals. |
| 8 | 1 | PERFECT TIME (CG249) | D Nikolic | B/TT | Slowly away, checked in rear at 1400 M, niggled along from 800 M to straightening when 4Ls back in mid-division, didn't threaten. |
| 9 | 3 | KAISER'S PRIZE (CD350) | F Coetzee | -- | 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls off pace at halfway, forced wide on the circle and struggling to make an impression at top of homestretch, faded out. |
| 10 | 7 | THUNDER MAN (CB239) | G Mosse | B-/TT | Never travelled very well in rear, 6Ls down in 10th at 800 M posed no danger at all in home straight. (Sore suspensory next morning.) |
| 11 | 2 | LUCKY DANSKE (CD364) | C K Tong | CP-/TT | Disputed early speed on fence but gradually began struggling and hard pressed to lie up at 800 M, eased over 300 M out. |
| 12 | 11 | WORLD SERIES (CG121) | M W Leung | PC- | Very wide in rear at 1st bend, always well behind and without cover in rear, eased out even before home turn. |
| 13 | 6 | THE ELEGANT GREY (CG126) | H K Yim | -- | Hung out badly at 1200 M and veered off to far side of track, soon pulled up. (Bled.) (Lame next morning.) |
