| 1 | 7 | CHIEF IVOR (CA004) | A Marcus | TT | Raced on fence about 1/2L off lead 1000 M out, 5Ls off by pacesetting CONJURING and PAOBRIDGE and niggled along 800 M out, 3Ls down on straightening, led 200 M out, readily. |
| 2 | 6 | GOLDEN AIR (BV105) | D Whyte | P | Away well to lead very early on, soon 5Ls off pace and 2-wide 800 M out, about 3-1/2Ls off lead turning for home, 1L off pace 200 M out, no chance with winner. |
| 3 | 12 | FLYING GENERAL (CB236) | W M Lai | SR | Raced 3-wide 3Ls off pace 1000 M out, 3-wide and about 5Ls off pace 800 M out through to about 300 M out, kept on well final stages. |
| 4 | 4 | EXULTATION (BV223) | K H Ting | -- | 4Ls off pace 1000 M out and 2-wide, 7Ls down 800 M out, 6Ls down and outpaced turning for home, stayed on at same tempo to line. |
| 5 | 2 | SNIPPETYIYEA (CB311) | S Dye | -- | Very slowly away, 6Ls off pace on fence 1000 M out, 7Ls down turning and hard ridden off home turn, ran on fairly well in stretch but had too much to do. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 6 | 3 | TRUST ME (CA144) | M Cahill | -- | Always in midfield - about 7Ls off pace towards inner 800 M out, hard ridden and 6Ls off pace entering straight, 3Ls down 200 M out, stayed on at same pace. |
| 7 | 5 | CORAJOSO (CB230) | D Dunn | SR | No speed early on and at least 8Ls or 9Ls off pace 1000 M out, still well adrift and wide entering straight, about 7Ls off speed 200 M out, ran on very strongly final 150 M to be nearest at finish. |
| 8 | 11 | PAOBRIDGE (CB073) | W Woods | B | Held narrow lead 1000 M out, stretched 5Ls clear along upsides CONJURING 800 M out, tired in straight and headed 200 M out, weakened. |

| 10 | 8 | KING CONFIDENT (BS312) | B Fayd'herbe | -- | Slowly into stride and at least 10Ls off pace 1000 M out, hopeless position turning for home, never a factor. |
| 11 | 9 | SHINING CROWN (CA154) | F Coetzee | TT | Never closer than 8Ls off pace at any stage, struggling a long way from home and eased down at top of stretch. |
