| 1 | 3 | ESPRESSO (BP205) | B Marcus | P | Broke well settling behind pace. Hit front turning in and fought on well to defy challengers closing stages. |
| 2 | 13 | GREENMORE (BT194) | E Saint-Martin | B | Towards rear early. Improved around field to be mid-division turning in. Sustained good progress down straight to just fail to get up on line. |
| 3 | 6 | HUANGDI (BV154) | R Fradd | -- | Slowly away. Travelled in last few. Finished strongly inside final 300 M to snatch 3rd final stride. |
| 4 | 11 | PREMIER TREASURE (BV100) | D Whyte | B | Showed speed early then held up behind leaders. Quickened to challenge upon straightening holding every chance though denied a place. |
| 5 | 5 | SPARKY (BT125) | L Dettori | -- | Broke well, settling in midfield on outside. Ran on under pressure in straight to be nearest at finish. |
| 6 | 12 | DR MORE (BV164) | S King | -- | In similar position throughout. Kept on steadily without quickening in straight. |
| 7 | 4 | EXULTATION (BV223) | E Legrix | -- | Never far off. Improved to hold some chance early in straight but unable to sustain effort closing stages. |

| 11 | 7 | EL VIENTO (BT129) | W C Marwing | TT | Never nearer. |
| 12 | 10 | ALL THE GLORY (BN058) | W M Lai | -- | Mostly in midfield. Gave ground from approaching home turn. |
| 13 | 14 | HONG KONG VITALITY (BS010) | K S Yu | B | Never in contention. |
| 14 | 8 | ST ALANN (BV032) | F Coetzee | -- | Prominent. Took lead coming out of back straight. Headed approaching 400 M and soon dropped out. (Bled.) |
