| 1 | 2 | LITTLE DREAMS (L095) | T Angland | -- | Reserved in midfield along the fence, travelled smoothly to straight, went through a gap on the inside, led near 100M for a back to back victory. |
| 2 | 9 | ALBICELESTE (P273) | U Rispoli | CP/H/SR/TT | Taken across behind runners, 8Ls off the pace in last middle stages, made steady progress inside 400M, surged late to go 2nd near line. |
| 3 | 12 | BULLISH BOY (P008) | M L Yeung | TT | Broke alertly and soon assumed a forward position, allowed an easy lead throughout, all out mid-straight but unable to hold off first 2 over final 100M. |
| 4 | 3 | OUTDOOR PEGASUS (L173) | K C Leung | SR/TT | Guided to a handy position just behind leader, travelled strongly throughout and looked a threat entering straight, kept on one paced under pressure, weakened 100M from home. |
| 5 | 1 | IT HAS TO BE YOU (N356) | O Doleuze | -- | Given a patient ride, settled near rear 6Ls behind leader, switched wide 400M, finished off well and would have been closer if not hanging in. |

| 7 | 10 | FLYING UNICORN (M087) | K Teetan | V | Rushed along to take a position close to pace, not quickened to challenge leaders turning in, kept on one paced. |
| 8 | 6 | FAMILISTS (M102) | B Prebble | B | Restrained after the start, settled into midpack 2-wide, taken out 400M, ran on one paced, no extra final 100M. |
| 9 | 7 | PLEASURE GAINS (P246) | Z Purton | -- | Unable to slot in, caught 3-wide no cover in the group chasing leaders, found disappointing little when placed under pressure inside 400M, weakened 150M. (Muco.) |
| 10 | 5 | SHINY DAY (M131) | T H So | -- | Sent forward, positioned one out one back, was asked to pick up the pace 350M but had little left to offer. (Reported by Vet to have stiff restricted action after racing.) |
| 11 | 4 | VANILLA (P439) | G Mosse | -- | Dropped back to near last from wide barrier, driven along passing 400M but didn't respond to riding, eased when no chance over final 150M. |
| 12 | 8 | TRAVEL BRAND (N112) | D Whyte | B/H/TT | Settled behind midfield along the 2-path, came under pressure turning for home, soon beaten and eased. (Irregular Heart Rhythm.) |
