Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | GOLD STRIKER (CD365) | B Prebble | -- | Always close-up in 2nd about 1L off pace out 2-wide before hitting the front at top of home straight, shot over 2Ls clear at the 200 M, remained well clear, easily. |
| 2 | 7 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | E Saint-Martin | SR | 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off the pace until home straight, still 4Ls back in 6th at the 200 M, ran on well late to nick 2nd place. |
| 3 | 3 | FOKINE (CE072) | G Mosse | TT | Always nicely placed in 4th or 5th with cover and within 2Ls or so of the pace until home straight, lacked the kick to reach the quinella and all out to run 3rd. |
| 4 | 2 | SAN LORENZO (CC092) | D Whyte | -- | Had the run of the race on fence in 3rd about 2Ls off speed until home turn, had every chance to place but one-paced final 200 M. |
| 5 | 12 | MAVERICK STAR (CE279) | Y T Cheng | -- | Towards rear early but left without cover so pressed out 4-wide no cover to race 3-wide no cover 2Ls back in 3rd from 800 M to home turn, every chance to place but no extra final 200 M. |
| 6 | 11 | NOBLE CRUSADER (CD286) | H W Lai | TT | Led on fence by 1L at 1000 M, headed at top of home straight by winner, faded inside final 200 M while hanging out. |
| 7 | 13 | ABLE ONE (CG108) | F Coetzee | BO- | Slowest away and switched to fence from wide gate, soon 8Ls last, 7Ls down in 12th turning for home, left flat-footed and could only run on into midfield. |
| 8 | 5 | CHEEKY (CA266) | C K Tong | V- | 3-wide bust mostly with cover down backstretch about 4Ls off speed in mid-division, struggling to lie up turning into home straight, always outpaced. |
| 9 | 8 | GOOD PROFIT (CD389) | O Doleuze | -- | On fence and keen about 5Ls or 6Ls off the pace and towards rear through first half, still off the pace when short of room 350 M out and steadied at 200 M, never on terms. |
| 10 | 4 | FRUITY FRUITY (CD061) | P H Lo | B | Slow to start, very keen in rear about 8Ls behind a very slow tempo, made no headway down centre of homestretch. |
| 11 | 6 | SOUNDS BEST (CE255) | D Oliver | TT | Towards rear about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace until home straight, never looked like getting much closer. |
| 12 | 9 | PUERTO RICO (CH147) | A Delpech | B1/TT1 | Nicely placed about 4Ls back in 5th when 2-wide at 1000 M, lost position on the circle and beaten from top of home straight. |
