Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) | G Mosse | P- | Not hurried in early stages and settled in last few, had a lot to do on straightening but stormed through between horses to lead inside 50 M and eventually won this with something to spare. |
| 2 | 7 | NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Began well from the inside barrier, disputed for lead down the back straight and set a strong pace in middle section, continued with a sustained effort in straight but was firmly put aside by the winner final 50 M. |
| 3 | 9 | ISLAND SUPER (CH297) | W M Lai | TT | Behind midfield in 9th position, had over 5Ls to make up turning into straight, picked up well and finished with a flourish. |
| 4 | 11 | CARS KING PRAWN (CK348) | W Pike | V | Along the fence in the group chasing leaders, best placed to strike coming off the bend, kept on well to the line despite running 4lb out of the handicap. |
| 5 | 4 | VITAL FLYER (CK373) | D Whyte | TT1 | Caught wide behind the lead until passing 700 M, had every chance in straight but lacked pace to seriously challenge. |
| 6 | 2 | SUNNY GOLF (CH138) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Quickly into stride, raced outside the lead to final 200 M then gradually weakened. |
| 7 | 10 | MI REILLY (CJ199) | J Lloyd | -- | Obtained the rail soon after the start and settled 5Ls back in midfield, momentarily steadied near 150 M then stayed on without threat to the leaders. |
| 8 | 8 | TIGER PRAWN (CG279) | G Cheyne | TT | In chasing group behind leaders, kept on same pace throughout and never looked dangerous. |
| 9 | 12 | GOOD STRIKE (CJ351) | M L Yeung | -- | Towards the rear 7Ls off the pace, switched to outside entering home straight but ran on only fairly. |
| 10 | 5 | DOUBLE LUCK (CH239) | B Prebble | -- | Restrained to the rear early then improved to a midfield position down the back straight, found very little coming off the bend and faded. |
| 11 | 1 | DYNAMIC BLITZ (CJ339) | T H So | XB | Had to be rushed along after a sluggish start, not able to overcome a wide barrier and caught wide throughout, struggled from 400 M and soon out of contention. |
| 12 | 3 | MY HOME TOWN (CH331) | J Victoire | TT1 | Fractious in stalls and lost many lengths at the start, always at the back and never in contention. |
