| 1 | 2 | GIVE WELL (CJ109) | G Mosse | BO | Fair start. Soon settled towards rear on fence through to home turn. Swung wide and was 6Ls down on straightening. Got clear run near 200 M and showed impressive turn of foot to sweep away rivals at post. |
| 2 | 9 | CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) | B Prebble | -- | Soon taken to race 2-wide towards rear. Driven outside field to get closer from 500 M and was 5Ls away into final stretch. Launched a sustained challenge to cut down rivals before caught by the winner final strides. |
| 3 | 6 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | M L Yeung | XB | Broke well and occupied a handy position ahead of midfield early. One-out-one-back middle stages. Well positioned to strike turning in. Battled determinedly but lacked the finishing touch to charge down the front pair. |
| 4 | 3 | THE WITCH'S BROOM (CH231) | B Doyle | CP1 | Away in line from high draw and slotted into a 2-wide spot towards rear making first turn. Commenced his run 3-wide approaching the rock and was 2Ls off turning into home. Kept giving but failed to contain the front trio near finish |
| 5 | 10 | PERFECT TEN (L030) | Z Purton | SR | Shaken up to race forward from high draw but was caught 4-wide near 1400 M. Tracked leader 2-wide 1100 M out. Disputed lead top of home straight and hit front 200 M. Unable to fend off the principals closing stages. |
| 6 | 8 | SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) | K C Leung | CP | Jumped fairly. Settled 2-wide behind midfield through to home turn. 3Ls behind the pace leaving the bend. Ran on with the principals before disappointed for running passing 200 M. Not fully tested. |
| 7 | 4 | DARPANA (CK256) | D Whyte | B/TT | Out nicely and took fence at midfield. Trapped towards rear when other runners improved rounding the home turn. Made up ground inside home straight but was not threatening. |
| 8 | 1 | ALL TIME HIGH (CG285) | M Chadwick | B/XB/TT | Urged wide from outside barrier. Eventually took lead on fence from 1100 M. Held a 1L advantage back straight. Levelled turning in but fought on until swamped 150 M. |
| 9 | 5 | SUCCESSFUL ERA (CK276) | A Suborics | -- | 2-wide at midfield through to the home straight and was one-paced to conclude. |
| 10 | 7 | RECORD HIGH (CK202) | J Lloyd | -- | Rolled forward 3-wide first turn. Led on fence near 1300 M. Eased to sit behind speed 1200 M out. Never really saw daylight in the straight. |
| 11 | 12 | CENTURY MOLLY (CK067) | C W Wong | CP/TT2 | Raced keenly within 3Ls of the leader through to the home straight. Held ground before no extra final 100 M. |
| 12 | 11 | ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) | H W Lai | -- | Slow to begin. Backmarker always. Made up minor ground late. |
