Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | VIVA PATACA (CG096) | D Beadman | H | Taken back from a wide gate, ended up 6 to 7Ls away at tail always racing solo at rear, not helped when pace steadied, switched widest turning, closed over the top with breathtaking finish to score easily. Remarkable win. |
| 2 | 8 | EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Began well, took a prominent position on back of leader, raced keenly throughout, still in between runners on bend, took inside runs turning and closed nicely when clear but proved no match for winner. |
| 3 | 11 | JOY AND FUN (CH014) | W M Lai | CP- | Away nicely, assumed ideal spot 1 out 1 back, had fair run when speed slackened, in between horses turning, clear passing 400 M and challenged strongly but couldn't sprint with first two inside final furlong. |
| 4 | 10 | JACKPOT DELIGHT (CJ101) | B Doyle | B | Out on line, took a midfield spot on rails 3Ls or so from pace, no excuses in run, still in traffic on turning, into clear at 300 M, didn't dash but worked to line nicely. |
| 5 | 12 | HAWKES BAY (CG064) | B Prebble | XB | Relatively well away, pressed forward but was caught wide without cover 2Ls back, aided by steady pace to bend, challenged soon after turning and in mix to 200 M before run ended. |
| 6 | 1 | GOOD BA BA (CE201) | O Doleuze | TT | Standard jump and allowed to drift back from an awkward draw, raced 3 wide towards rear 6Ls back, forced 4 wide on circle, made steady headway without looking likely in straight. |
| 7 | 5 | FELLOWSHIP (CG292) | D Whyte | TT | Standard jump, drifted back to race in 2nd half of field, raced keenly when pace steadied, 3 wide with cover on circle held up passing 200 M, closed off reasonably in circumstances to be nearest on line. |
| 8 | 13 | GOLD STRIKER (CD365) | K L Chui | -- | First to hit ground, went on to take up running easily, ran race to suit in front, increased speed at 400 M, kept on to 250 M before run ended and simply battled away late. |
| 9 | 4 | BULLISH LUCK (CC155) | G Mosse | B/XB | Away OK, taken back to race 4 wide without cover behind midfield, did plenty of work in run, improved to be 4Ls down turning, held ground evenly in run home without looking likely. |
| 10 | 3 | FLORAL PEGASUS (CG011) | Y T Cheng | TT | Began smartly, pushed forward to race outside leader, had fair run once pace steadied, 1/2L down on turning, still in mix at 300 M but couldn't lift a gear after that and faded late. |
| 11 | 6 | JOYFUL WINNER (CE045) | M Du Plessis | TT | Standard jump, ended up 5Ls or so away on rails, had a soft run but not aided by pace, saved ground on bend, made limited progress along inside in home stretch. |
