Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | REGAL GEM (K258) | K C Leung | -- | Moved up to chase leaders, raced keenly in the middle stages, manoeuvred into clear running top of the straight, ran on well to hit lead 80M before holding on just from the fast finishing 2nd at the line. |
| 2 | 10 | NEVER TOO SOON (E434) | Z Purton | CP | From draw 2 settled down midfield along the inside, closed off best final 200M, just one stride short of going past the winner. |
| 3 | 6 | BUNDLE OF CHARM (G213) | B Avdulla | -- | Jumped well, crossed to the lead passing 900M and led at a comfortable pace, kept on well turning in, held lead until 80M before losing 2nd close home. (Jockey questioned regarding the horse leading.) |
| 4 | 5 | SOVEREIGN FUND (J402) | K Teetan | B/TT | Stayed close enough behind leaders, raced keenly middle stages, brought wide for home then ran on well to the line. Just missed 3rd in a photo finish. |
| 5 | 4 | GRACIOUS EXPRESS (J188) | J Orman | V/TT | Taken across behind runners, raced 3-wide in mid-division, lost cover passing 600M, swung wide for home and finished the race off steadily. (No Vet findings.) |
| 6 | 2 | SPICY GOLD (H440) | A Badel | P/TT | Jumped awkwardly and soon caught racing wide no cover in midfield, moved closer to leaders home turn, battled on to hold 2nd in the straight but no extra final 150M and faded away. |
| 7 | 12 | MONARCH COUNTY (J421) | L Hewitson | B/TT | From draw 1 placed prominently behind leaders, raced keenly in the early and middle stages, couldn't find the extra gear in the straight and closed off final 300M in a one-paced manner. (No Vet findings.) |
| 8 | 1 | WINGS OF WAR (H162) | K De Melo | B/XB | Dropped back from wide draw, settled towards the rear 5Ls back, ran on one-paced in the straight and never looked like winning. |
| 9 | 11 | THRIVING BROTHERS (J396) | M Chadwick | TT | Taken across behind runners, settled down in second half of the field, not picking up the pace to challenge in the home straight. |
| 10 | 9 | ROMANTIC SON (J537) | H Bentley | CP | From wide draw given a conservative ride at the rear, 5Ls to make up 400M, was making some progress but held up over final 200M and could not be fully ridden out to the line. |
| 11 | 3 | YOUNG EMPEROR (K011) | L Ferraris | TT | Restrained after the jump, guided to the fence and took up a rearward position, found nothing on straightening, soon left behind by rivals. (No Vet findings.) |
| 12 | 8 | MASTER CHAMPION (K266) | M F Poon | -- | Sent forward to be racing outside the lead, struggled to keep up 350M, gave ground rapidly mid-straight. (Jockey - racing wide without cover the principal reason for its disappointing run.) |
