| 1 | 10 | SHOW RESPECT (H138) | H Bentley | B/XB | Chased the pace, travelled well during race and loomed large top of the straight, wrestled the lead inside 200M, kicked on strongly to win with something in hand. |
| 2 | 12 | ZOOM BOOM (G131) | A Atzeni | XB | Jumped awkwardly, maintained a midfield position along the fence, gave good response early straight, tried hard to close the gap on leader over final 250M but was always held. |
| 3 | 3 | QUANTUM PATCH (H166) | Z Purton | TT2 | Reserved near last 6Ls off the pace, became the back-marker passing 700M, closed off final 300M with some effect, got up for 3rd late but not reach first two. |
| 4 | 2 | TOURBILLON PRINCE (H122) | A Badel | TT | Went forward setting a steady pace in the lead, joined by eventual winner 200M, run ended 150M, got tired towards the finish. |
| 5 | 1 | GALLANT WAKING (G165) | E C W Wong | -- | Taken across from wide draw early stages, settled in last until 700M, widest turning home, ran on mildly final 300M, no threat to first two |
| 6 | 7 | STAR CONTACT (E472) | L Hewitson | CP/TT | Jumped awkwardly, settled down behind mid-division, held up for clear running 300M then got to the line only fairly. Never threatened. |
| 7 | 11 | ESCAPE ROUTE (E273) | B Thompson | H | Moved up to track leader, under pressure 550M, lost 2nd 300M, no extra 150M and faded away. |
| 8 | 8 | LUCKY EIGHT (G204) | M F Poon | TT1 | Chased leaders in a 3-wide position without cover, couldn't go on 300M and weakened away. |
| 9 | 6 | ROMANTIC LAOS (G476) | K C Leung | CP/H/TT | Caught racing 3-wide in midfield on settling, little change to the turn, couldn't accelerate enough when driven inside 400M, never a threat to leaders. |
| 10 | 9 | ALL BEAUTY (E355) | K Teetan | V1 | Jumped awkwardly, soon towards the rear, driven 400m but failed to respond. (Bled.) |
| 11 | 4 | TRUE GENIUS (J073) | B Avdulla | H/TT | Positioned ahead of midfield, under the pump passing 600M, soon couldn't keep up with leaders and out of contention. |
