| 1 | 4 | GENERAL IRON (P429) | K C Leung | CP/TT | Worked from a wide draw to camp handy 2L behind the leader, 2 wide with cover. Steadied and shifted out to obtain clear running upon final 300M. Dashed well, as benefitted by the slow tempo, to score by a nose. |
| 2 | 7 | BLOCKER DEE (T374) | Z Purton | -- | Pushed to settle front of midfield, travelled 3-1/4L off, 2 wide with cover. Suited the slow tempo, finished off nicely only to be beaten by a nose. |
| 3 | 9 | BOTH LUCKY (T196) | J Moreira | -- | Rolled into front of midfield and raced along the rail 2-1/2L off with cover. Continued to run on steadily for 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | SECRET AGENT (P388) | G Mosse | B | Settled in midfield 4-3/4L behind the leader, 2 wide with cover. Benefited by the slow tempo and kept on steadily for 4th. |
| 5 | 8 | EXCEL ONESELF (P287) | R Fourie | H | Ridden along to take lead at slow sectionals, remained 2 wide and caught passing upon final 100M. |
| 6 | 1 | IMPERIAL ROME (N012) | N Callan | TT | Began slowly and settled at the rear 8-3/4L off along the rail. Made some ground in the Straight. |
| 7 | 3 | KING OF MONGOLIA (S414) | D Whyte | TT | Raced along the rail in worse than midfield from a wide gate, 6L behind the leader. Ran on only fairly as hampered by the slow sectionals. |
| 8 | 5 | GIANT STARS (T218) | C Y Ho | H | Settled at rear, 7-3/4L off, 2 wide with cover. Never looked likely. |
| 9 | 6 | SEASONS STAR (P058) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Failed to muster speed despite ridden along early from a wide gate, settled in worse than midfield 6-1/4L off, 2 wide with cover. Found nothing in the Straight. |
| 10 | 2 | LONGWAH AMBER (S224) | W M Lai | -- | Rolled to obtain box-seat 1-1/4L behind the leader. Weakened and swamped upon final 150M. |
| 11 | 12 | HO LEE HORSE (S330) | M L Yeung | SR/TT | Camped at the rear 8-1/4L off along the rail. Was never a factor. |
| 12 | 11 | SGT ROCK (T307) | T H So | H | Settled in midfield 6L behind the leader, weakened soon after straightening. |
