| 1 | 6 | MILITARY ATTACK (N175) | D Beadman | H1/SR1 | Slow to begin, settled behind midfield and travelled smoothly along the inside, made good headway from 300M before moving to the lead near 150M, drew well clear. Impressive debut. |
| 2 | 4 | TURF EXPRESS (CL399) | Y T Cheng | TT | Up with early pace then sat back in midfield middle stages, pressed on 500M, kept on nicely to go 2nd 100M out but no chance with the winner. |
| 3 | 10 | FUN RIDER (CK231) | K C Leung | B | Always prominent, led from 1300M to 1000M then tracked leader to straight, stayed on well enough, faded late but managed to hang on for 3rd. |
| 4 | 5 | DRAGON FIGHTER (CL260) | M L Yeung | -- | Went forward from wide barrier, settled in 3rd entering back straight, kept on steadily without troubling the winner. |
| 5 | 9 | FLYING SUPREME (CK226) | N Callan | -- | Positioned 2-wide behind midfield, had an uninterrupted run in straight but never going the pace to seriously challenge. |
| 6 | 7 | HAPPY TUMBLER (CL048) | Z Purton | XB | Dropped back to the rear as expected, over 10Ls off the pace in middle stages, 3-wide turning for home, stayed on fairly down the outside. |
| 7 | 12 | REGENCY WINNER (CK410) | M Chadwick | TT | Towards the rear along the fence, 6Ls to make up on leader passing 400M, found less than expected under pressure, never a serious threat. |
| 8 | 1 | MR BOND (M098) | G Mosse | -- | In mid-pack, pushed to a 3-wide spot without cover from 1000M, did not pick up to any great degree under pressure passing 400M. |
| 9 | 2 | FORTUNE RED PEPPER (CK199) | J Lloyd | H | Caught 3-wide to 1200M then strode forward to establish s 3Ls lead down the back straight, collared by pursuers inside 200M, no extra. |
| 10 | 3 | VOILE ROUGE (M343) | D Whyte | B-/TT | In midfield, raced a shade keen passing 1000M, didn't respond under pressure 400M out, dropped away 200M. |
| 11 | 8 | PACKING WHIZ (N120) | M Du Plessis | -- | Raced 3-wide towards the rear, ridden nearing 300M but never got competitive. |
| 12 | 11 | MARK UP (CK247) | T Clark | -- | Settled near last, didn't pick on straightening, never a factor. |
