| 2 | 6 | MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) | B Prebble | -- | No early pace and drifted back from an outside draw, raced in rear division early, improved 3-wide with cover on bend, made strong finish with eventual winner but just out lasted final 200 M. |
| 3 | 11 | FIRST BEAT (CK127) | D Beadman | TT | Average getaway, settled behind midfield racing 2-wide, 7Ls back in mid-section, held up before coming 3-wide on turning, did best work final 300 M making plenty of late ground. (Rider questioned.) |
| 4 | 1 | TOY STORY (CJ217) | A Gryder | SR-/B1 | Lost ground early and was soon taken back, ended up a clear last 8Ls off speed, always well back to bend, closed soundly last 300 M making many lengths to take a spot in frame. |
| 5 | 7 | NILOMETER (CD052) | M Chadwick | CP/TT | Out in line, pressed on to take closer order, was 3-wide before racing outside leader, did share of work to turn, took over and kept in mix to 200 M before run ended. |
| 6 | 13 | GLORY OF INDIA (CK130) | D Whyte | B/TT | Fair getaway, ended up 3Ls away in front of midfield, had chance to bend, saddle shifted on turning, made gradual progress in straight with jockey at a disadvantage, lost run inside 100 M. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 7 | 9 | GO DAN GO (CJ327) | Z Purton | -- | Out reasonably, camped 3Ls back 3-wide behind speed, kept improving on bend, looked a place chance at 200 M but couldn't progress and just held ground thereafter. |
| 8 | 8 | VAUGIRARD (CK347) | W Pike | -- | No early pace, settled behind midfield 5-6Ls back, had even run to bend, held up at 300 M, hung and was difficult to ride thereafter but still made good ground to be nearest on line. |
| 9 | 3 | JOHNSON (CJ305) | K C Leung | B | Shared pace to cross to lead, set an even tempo in front, challenged on circle, headed on turning in, lacked usual fight and just struggled final 200 M. |
| 10 | 4 | NORDIC STAR (CH302) | T H So | B/TT | Tardy into stride, settled behind midfield 5-6Ls back on rails, used little to bend, unable to find an extra gear and just kept on at same rate late. |
| 11 | 14 | SOARING RIVER (CK137) | B Doyle | SR | Amongst first few to break, camped behind speed in 1 out 1 back spot, had every hope to bend, lacked a response when pressured and dropped off in finish. |
| 12 | 12 | BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) | P H Lo | TT | Out well, took ideal spot on leaders back, no excuses in run, lacked a kick on turning and weakened out tamely final 300 M. |
| 13 | 2 | CASH MONEY (CH030) | C W Wong | B/H | Away with rest, ended up 3-4Ls back on fence, had an easy time in mid-section, under hard riding turning, weakened out badly in straight. |
