Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | HIDDEN DRAGON (CB231) | F Coetzee | -- | Raced freely from 1100 M out until the 800 M when 3Ls off pace in 4th, 2Ls down in 3rd and travelling smoothly into home straight, led on the bridle 250 M out, drew away, comfortably. |
| 2 | 6 | SMART WINNER (CA019) | D Boeuf | SR | Awkwardly into stride, 6Ls down in 10th on fence at 800 M, 4Ls down in midfield on the swing, ran on well through final stages but had no chance of catching the winner. |
| 3 | 12 | GEM OF INDIA (CC008) | R Fradd | -- | Always about 4Ls off the pace in midfield through to the 600 M, closer into home straight when 3-wide, 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, one-paced final 100 M. |
| 4 | 8 | THE DUKE (CB282) | G Schofield | -- | Raced keenly throwing head around early on, went 3-wide without cover 1L off the pace in 3rd from the 800 M and led at the 600 M and into home straight, 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, no extra. |
| 5 | 9 | GREAT DELIGHT (CC291) | S Dye | B | Disputed lead early on, 1L down in 2nd at 800 M, in front again off home turn, steadily faded out. |
| 6 | 1 | CAPE OF GOOD HOPE (CB243) | D Whyte | V/TT | Always 3-wide mostly with cover in midfield 4Ls or 5Ls off the pace in midfield through to home straight, always looked held thereafter. |
| 7 | 3 | ALL THRILLS TOO (CA100) | G Mosse | B | 4Ls off the speed on inner in about 5th place down the back, closer and driven along entering straight, one-paced. |
| 8 | 2 | MERIDIAN STAR (BV177) | D Dunn | B | Didn't break well, slowest away, in rear about 7Ls or 8Ls off pace in rear until home straight when 4-wide (widest of all), no impression. |
| 9 | 10 | NORTHERN GOLD BALL (BV008) | A Delpech | SR | Always towards rear and never better than 5Ls off the speed at any stage. |
| 10 | 4 | PRIME WITNESS (BV178) | Y T Cheng | -- | Led or disputed lead until the home straight, quickly fell away passing the 300 M. |
| 11 | 11 | SUMMERLAND (CD074) | C Williams | -- | Slowly away, about 5Ls down in 8th at the 800 M, always outpaced. |
| 12 | 5 | ANABATIK (CB121) | K McEvoy | SR-/V-/B2/TT | Prominent early but was badly checked 1200 M out to be about 6Ls down in 9th, no better off entering straight, never a factor. |
