Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | PERSEVERANCE (CD243) | B Prebble | TT1 | Raced outside leader 1L off pace until turning for home, assumed the lead 300 M out and driven well clear. |
| 2 | 9 | SIXTY SECONDS (CB177) | O Doleuze | V2 | 3Ls back in 5th when 2-wide at 1200 M, ridden along to be 4th turning for home, stayed on okay to take 2nd inside final 100 M. |
| 3 | 5 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | D Nikolic | CP-/SR1 | Slow away, had the box-seat position on fence 2Ls off speed in 4th until home turn, given every hope to fill the quinella but lacked the turn of foot. |
| 4 | 3 | SPEEDING MOLLY (CC227) | K L Chui | SR/TT | Raced 3-back on fence about 4Ls off speed in 5th or 6th from the 1200 M to home turn, checked when disappointed for a run 250 M out, one-paced thereafter. |
| 5 | 4 | CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) | D Whyte | B/TT | Slowly away and failed to muster early speed, 6Ls down in 9th at the 1000 M, 5Ls down in 8th at home turn, very one-paced in the finish. |
| 6 | 10 | TABBRIS (CB088) | P H Lo | B/TT | Soon led on fence by 1L and held this margin before being headed 300 M out, faded into midfield. |
| 7 | 2 | BIG KAHUNA (CG177) | F Coetzee | B | Never any better than midfield, with cover 5Ls back in 8th at 1200 M and closest when 6th about 4Ls off pace on straightening, weakened. |
| 8 | 11 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | W M Lai | B | Always in rear bunch, 7Ls down at 1000 M and no better off entering home straight, no threat. |
| 9 | 6 | TIRAMISU (CB386) | M Nunes | V/TT | 3-wide but with cover when 5Ls back in 7th at 1200 M, struggling to lie up taking home turn, weakened. |
| 10 | 8 | THUNDER STORM (CA226) | H W Lai | B/H | Caught 4-wide without cover early on, slipped back to 7Ls in rear at 1000 M, further back making final bend, never a factor. |
| 11 | 7 | NATURAL FATCHOY (CG282) | E Saint-Martin | CP-/B1 | Unacceptable performance, 2Ls back in 4th at 1200 M when 3-wide without cover, still deep and toiling a little further back off final bend, emptied right out. |
