Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | VIVA PATACA (CG096) | D Beadman | H | Even break, settled in 4th, 5Ls behind leader down the back straight, cruised into the lead from 200 M, drew away to win comfortably. |
| 2 | 7 | HAWKES BAY (CG064) | F Coetzee | XB | Jumped well, travelled in 3rd never far off the pace, responded well when driven 200 M out, no match for the winner but found enough to hold off fast finishing challengers. |
| 3 | 6 | JACKPOT DELIGHT (CJ101) | G Mosse | B | Taken back to rear on jumping, raced 8Ls behind leader in a 2-wide position, used little in running, picked up well when asked, made good headway over 400 M out. Closest on line. |
| 4 | 5 | EXCELLENT BOY (CE238) | O Doleuze | P | Began with rest, sat patiently in a rearward position 7Ls behind leader, ridden out near 400 M, ran on well and was beaten to 4th by just a short margin. |
| 5 | 9 | AMBITIOUS GENERAL (CJ066) | E Saint-Martin | CP-/TT | Ordinary break, travelled in a position behind midfield, enjoyed a ground-saving trip along the rail, chased leaders hard entering home straight, stayed on OK last 200 M, not beaten far. |
| 6 | 4 | VIVA MACAU (CH110) | Z Purton | CP/TT | Quickily into stride, led briefly to 1500 M, settled in 2nd thereafter, taken alongside leader on home turn, hung out in run to line, found no extra last 200 M. |
| 7 | 2 | PACKING WINNER (CE334) | D Whyte | -- | Jumped awkwardly and lost position, pressed on to lead field from 1500 M at a steady tempo, levelled near 300 M, ridden out but gave only limited response. |
| 8 | 3 | BULLISH LUCK (CC155) | W C Marwing | B/XB | Reasonable jump, drifted back to race in rear along the fence, had 5Ls to make up entering home straight, couldn't find extra gear in run to line. No impression. |
