Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | ISLAND SPEED (CG202) | A Delpech | B | Ridden along early from a wide alley to take up leading position near the 1000 M. Set easy tempo in front and lengthened away in the straight for comfortable win. |
| 2 | 5 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | O Doleuze | SR | Checked soon after the start, but managed to settle on the back of the speed, 1 off with cover. Peeled out on straightening and finished off well. |
| 3 | 7 | LAMBRO (CH083) | M Nunes | -- | Caught 3-wide early, went forward and took up a position outside the leader near the 600 M. Kept on one-paced in the run home. |
| 4 | 6 | FLAG FINDER (CE224) | D Whyte | -- | 1 out 1 back early, shifted in, onto the force near the 600 M, tracking the leader, had every opportunity. |
| 5 | 12 | STEP FORWARD (CB166) | C K Tong | B | Settled behind midfield on the fence, came wider in the straight, closed off soundly. |
| 6 | 11 | KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) | G Mosse | B/XB | Raced midfield along the rails, one-paced when under pressure in the latter stages. |
| 7 | 8 | ROCKET POWER (CH136) | K L Chui | TT | Took up rearward position on the fence, stayed to the inside turning for home. Ran on fairly. |
| 8 | 10 | HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) | F Coetzee | B/TT | From an inside gate, was allowed to park behind the pace settling on the fence. Disappointing in the straight. |
| 9 | 1 | HAPPY KID (CC326) | E Saint-Martin | B/SR | Settled around midfield, 1 off with cover, shifted to the outside at the entrance to the straight, but struggled over the final 200 M. (Tendon injury reported following day.) |
| 10 | 9 | CRUSH ON YOU (CH065) | B Prebble | -- | Raced at the tail of the field on the rails, tired over the concluding stages. |
| 11 | 2 | SURE JOY (CE299) | C W Wong | B/XB/TT | Caught wide and without cover for most of the trip around midfield. Weakened noticeably in the run to the post. |
| 12 | 4 | RED STORM RISING (CE007) | D Nikolic | CP | Settled in last position and failed to pass another runner throughout. |
