| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | SACRED KINGDOM (CG268) | G Mosse | TT | With cover in 9th or so about 4Ls from the speed until home turn, quickened up very well to lead 150 M out, ran on impressively. |
| 2 | 1 | ABSOLUTE CHAMPION (CE060) | B Prebble | CP | 3Ls back in midfield when checked at 800 M, improved to be 2Ls back in 4th at final bend, dangerous 300 M out but no chance with winner late on. |
| 3 | 9 | ROYAL DELIGHT (CG192) | S Dye | B | Led on fence by 1L from 800 M to home turn, headed inside final 200 M but did well enough to place. |
| 4 | 5 | SCINTILLATION (CC228) | E Saint-Martin | XB/H | Midfield between 3Ls and 4Ls from the front until home turn, ran on well without getting to grips with leading trio. |
| 5 | 11 | SUNNY POWER (CG203) | Y T Cheng | -- | Towards rear about 5Ls from the speed until home bend, stayed on past some beaten rivals. |
| 6 | 4 | MARCHAND D'OR (CJ601) | D Bonilla | -- | Slowly away, 6Ls from the speed in rear early on, about 4Ls down turning for home, stayed on only fairly. |
| 7 | 12 | GREEN BIRDIE (CH245) | L Dettori | B1 | Slowest away losing 3Ls on the leaders, 6Ls last until home turn when 5-wide swinging into final bend, made only a minor impact. |
| 8 | 6 | TIZA (CJ602) | C Soumillon | SR | 3-wide with cover towards rear about 5Ls or 6Ls from the speed until home turn, always outpaced. |
| 9 | 7 | DESERT LORD (CH602) | N Callan | B | In front rank within 1L or 2Ls of the lead until home turn, gave ground final 400 M. |
| 10 | 13 | MISS ANDRETTI (CJ605) | C Newitt | TT | Prominent but wide and too keen down backstretch, over 2Ls back in 6th at final bend when under pressure, capitulated. |
| 11 | 8 | WHY BE (CJ603) | N Callow | TT | Trapped 5-wide no cover down backstretch, widest in midfield 3Ls from the pace turning for home, extra work took its toll. |
| 12 | 10 | SUNNY SING (CE135) | D Beadman | CP/TT | Had the run of the race about 2Ls from the front until the 600 M, hard pressed to lie up turning for home, faded out. |
| 13 | 2 | BENBAUN (CG619) | P Smullen | V | Close up not much more than 1L from the lead until final turn, under pressure when checked 300 M out, soon well beaten. |
