Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | VINCERE (CE324) | O Doleuze | B | 4Ls back in midfield at 1200 M, ridden to get a little closer taking home turn, picked up steadily to lead over 100 M out, stayed on. |
| 2 | 11 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | W M Lai | B | Zipped from wide gate to lead early on fence, headed 1100 M out and 2Ls down until 500 M out, dug in well to still be with a winning chance 100 M out, no extra late. |
| 3 | 3 | MILITARY OPTION (CD237) | G Mosse | -- | 3Ls down in 6th at 1200 M, 4Ls down at 800 M, short-lived effort out 3-wide from 500 M to dispute lead at top of homestretch, headed by winner 100 M out, just about hung on for 3rd. |
| 4 | 2 | TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) | B Prebble | CP- | Fractious in gates and slowly away, 6Ls behind in 8th early on, raced keenly down backstretch, 5Ls down in 9th into home straight, made some decent late ground but did it too late. |
| 5 | 4 | RIGHT CHOICE (CE102) | A Delpech | -- | Midfield on fence about 4Ls from the lead through to final turn, kept on at same pace and never seriously threatened a place. |
| 6 | 12 | THAT'S WIN (CG015) | D Whyte | CP- | 7Ls down in 9th at 1200 M, marginally closer in 10th taking final turn, kept on at same pace. |
| 7 | 10 | THREE CLUBS (CG149) | M Nunes | -- | Slowly away, one from rear about 8Ls off the speed until straightening for home, ran on past a few tired rivals late. |
| 8 | 5 | SUNRISE RAINBOW (CD209) | Y T Cheng | SR | Disappointing effort having been well placed on fence about 3Ls from the speed in 4th until home turn, very one-paced on fence through final stages. |
| 9 | 6 | THUNDER MAN (CB239) | F Coetzee | B/TT1 | 3-wide no cover and worse than midfield throughout, managed to get within 4Ls of the lead taking home turn, soon retreated. |
| 10 | 9 | HANDBAG PREMIER (CD137) | M Odendaal | B/TT1 | Caught 3-wide no cover early and pressed on to lead at 1100 M, 2Ls clear from 800 M to 500 M, folded steadily once headed at top of home straight. |
| 11 | 1 | LIVERBIRD (CE055) | K L Chui | B | Tame effort having raced within 2Ls of the speed in 3rd through to home straight, found nothing under pressure. |
| 12 | 8 | SERIOUS PLAY (CC003) | E Saint-Martin | P- | Soon detached in last about 10Ls off the pace, never got into the contest. |
