| 1 | 5 | MR BOND (M098) | G Mosse | -- | Taken back, settled 2 off the fence 7Ls behind leader, picked up strongly once shifted into clear 250M, good headway final 150M under a forceful ride and got up close home to justify favouritism. |
| 2 | 11 | MING HOI TREASURE (CK145) | Y T Cheng | TT | Held up in midfield, travelled smoothly and had a ground saving trip along the fence, came through a narrow gap on the inside 200M, hit lead inside 100M only to be caught by winner in dying strides. |
| 3 | 7 | FLORA DANICA (M064) | M Du Plessis | -- | Went forward, crossed to the lead near 1200M having been wide in early stages, set steady tempo to straight, headed inside 100M but battled on well to hold 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | GOOD LUCK WIN (CK004) | H W Lai | CP/XB | Settled in midfield but was 3-wide without cover for most of the trip, strode closer to leader over the home turn, briefly looked threatening mid-straight, kept on final 200M but not pace of first 2. |
| 5 | 3 | JIMSON THE BEST (CL016) | Z Purton | -- | Positively ridden early stages to hold a position not far off the pace, responded well when driven 300M out, turned one pace final 100M. |
| 6 | 1 | GREAT ACHIEVEMENT (CD250) | B Prebble | CP/TT | Raced 2-wide in midfield, well covered, ran on only fairly final 300M and never going the pace to challenge. |
| 7 | 2 | IRON EAGLE (M156) | D Beadman | CP | Dropped back at the start and settled 6-7Ls back towards the tail of the field, held up behind a wall of horses early straight, shifted to wide outside for clear run near 200M, finished off well. |
| 8 | 6 | TRES MAGNIFIQUE (CL367) | D Whyte | B/TT | Vied for early lead, crossed to the fence nearing 1200M and sat behind leader, not quickened when put to pressure in straight, faded final 100M. |
| 9 | 9 | PERFECT TEN (CL030) | T Clark | B/TT | Travelled 3-wide in mid-division, kept on same pace in straight and was never a threat. |
| 10 | 8 | BEAUTY SUCCESS (CL422) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Slow to begin, outpaced in last nearly 10Ls off the pace in middle stages, had plenty to do turning in, gave limited response running past beaten runners only. |
| 11 | 12 | GIANTS SERAPIS (M285) | G Cheyne | H/SR | Positioned 2-wide behind midfield, outpaced making the home turn and was never a factor. |
| 12 | 4 | MOONWALK (CL083) | K C Leung | -- | Up with early pace, chased leader down the back straight, weakened passing 200M, eased. |
