Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | TRUMP (P106) | B Prebble | TT | Forwardly placed, tracked leader in a steadily run race, went through narrow passage to lead near 200M, ridden clear. |
| 2 | 8 | FORGIVE AND FORGET (N303) | C Y Ho | B1 | Held up in midfield along the fence, 3Ls off leaders making the turn for home, stayed on evenly for 2nd but well held by winner. |
| 3 | 12 | FLYING CHAPARRAL (M245) | T Berry | SR | Bustled along early, positioned one out one back, led briefly turning home but not finishing pace of winner, kept on mildly for 3rd. |
| 4 | 5 | GOLDEN ADDICTION (P234) | J Moreira | P | Not hurried, reserved behind midfield 5Ls off the pace, made moderate progress getting up for 4th near line. |
| 5 | 11 | CHANCELLOR (M347) | K C Ng | B/TT | Crossed to lead passing 1300M, set even pace, headed nearing 200M, stayed on same pace, faded to 5th near line. |
| 6 | 1 | FLYING UNICORN (M087) | H Bowman | V | Settled in 4th and stayed within striking distance throughout, kept on mildly entering straight, never a serious threat to leaders. |
| 7 | 2 | JAZZY FEELING (P149) | O Doleuze | H/SR | Checked shortly after the jump, held up near the rear 7Ls off the pace, stayed on fairly down outside of field, not reached main rivals. |
| 8 | 6 | STARTING OVER (P321) | A Suborics | TT | Held up in mid-division along the 2-path, kept on same pace over final 250M and lacked the needed response. |
| 9 | 10 | STEP HIGH (N047) | C Reith | -- | Dropped back, at the rear of the field 8Ls off the pace, made limited progress turning in, never involved. |
| 10 | 3 | FIRST SIGHT LOVE (P067) | K Teetan | -- | Taken across behind runners, settled near the rear, had little to offer under pressure 300M and failed to make any impression. |
| 11 | 7 | ARCHIPPUS (P361) | Z Purton | B | Held up behind midfield, proved difficult to settle passing 1100M, inclined to hang out in middle stages, under pressure 500M out, soon beaten turning in. |
| 12 | 9 | INVICTUS (N282) | K C Leung | B/XB | Taken back from wide draw, settled near the rear and raced without cover in middle stages, struggled to keep up 500M out, soon left behind. |
