| 1 | 3 | CELESTIAL MAGIC (CB363) | A Marcus | BO/TT | No worse than 3Ls off pace in midfield and centre of track until 400 M out, picked up well to dispute lead at the 200 M, asserted closing stages. |
| 2 | 5 | FLASHING STAR (CC018) | G Schofield | -- | About 1L off pace and three off the stand's rail 600 M out, disputing lead and with every chance at the 200 M, lacked winner's kick but ran on well for the quinella. |
| 3 | 10 | FORTE (CB351) | S Dye | -- | Didn't break well, towards rear about 4Ls off pace until the 400 M marker, 1L down but only in midfield at the 200 M, kept finding all the way to line to nick a place. |
| 4 | 6 | SPEED LORD (CC059) | R Fradd | -- | Always right on the speed closest to far rail for first half of race, 1L 2nd at the 400 M, closer and with every chance of a place 200 M out, no extra closing stages. |
| 5 | 4 | JOY FAY FAY (CC136) | P H Lo | B | Two off stand's rail disputing lead at the 800 M pole, 1L 3rd 400 M out but picked up to regain narrow advantage 200 M out, couldn't sustain effort. |
| 6 | 9 | AMAZING VICTORY (CC085) | D Whyte | TT | Disputed early towards far rail, clear advantage by 1L 500 M out, grabbed 200 M out and weakened concluding stages. |
| 7 | 2 | FLYING MACHINE (CB082) | F Coetzee | TT | Never better than midfield at any stage, at least 4Ls down until 400 M out, always outpaced. |
| 8 | 13 | DRAGON HORSE (CB131) | H K Yim | -- | Very awkwardly away with rider almost unshipped, soon recovered and travelled smoothly, within 1L of the lead 200 M out, couldn't follow through final stages. |
| 9 | 12 | SAINTLY PARTNERS (BV292) | A Delpech | -- | Always niggled along when about 4Ls off the pace in rear, finished off okay but was never on terms with leaders. |

| 12 | 14 | DEVON ELITE (CA166) | W M Lai | B | Awkwardly away, in midfield about 2Ls off pace until the 600 M, soon under pressure, found very little and was beaten over 200 M out. |
| 13 | 1 | BOLD FIGHTER (CC286) | W Woods | B | Awkwardly away, always outpaced, in rear 600 M out, when 4Ls off pace and driven along, no chance. |
