Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 14 | EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) | S Dye | -- | Moderate jump, showed usual speed to kick up and take up running, overraced and kept them going at a solid speed, raced 2Ls clear on bend, defied rivals with ease dashing sharply in straight to score comfortably. |
| 2 | 6 | SURVEY SURVEY (CH070) | O Doleuze | XB/TT | Ordinary to begin, settled towards tail 2 wide 10Ls from lead, tracked group throughout and suited by tempo, had job to do turning, free of traffic at 350 M and closed race off with purpose making many lengths last 200 M. |
| 3 | 12 | HELENE BRILLIANT (CH174) | B Prebble | TT | Jumped nicely, settled in nicely to 1 by 1 spot 3 to 4Ls off speed, tracked nicely to bend, angled out under urging at 400 M, didn't let down as expected in conditions, just plugged steadily last furlong. |
| 4 | 4 | SUPREME CLASS (CG089) | G Mosse | TT | Standard break, regathered to slot in behind pace group on rails 3 to 4Ls back, enjoyed a soft trip to bend, briefly looked a place chance at 250 M, kept on evenly to just miss 3rd. |
| 5 | 5 | MY CHOICE (CC283) | C W Wong | -- | Poor break, raced in rearward division 8Ls back on rails, didn't use much in middle stages, saved ground on turning, progressed nicely before hitting traffic last 100 M, nearest on line. |
| 6 | 2 | HAPPEE OWNER (CE230) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Away in line, allowed to drift back from a wide gate, raced 3 wide with cover 8Ls back towards rear, still well back on turning, made ground evenly without threatening to be closest at finish. |
| 7 | 7 | TIBER (CD155) | D Whyte | XB/TT | First to leave stalls, raced 3 wide outside pace group without cover, did plenty of work challenging at a strong tempo, 2 wide on circle, couldn't dash again at 300 M and run ended last 100 M. |
| 8 | 10 | GOODY (CD239) | A Delpech | -- | Even jump, lacked pace and assumed expected spot in midfield, raced 6Ls back on rails with a soft run to bend, angled 2 wide on circle, came to centre and made some minor headway in straight. |
| 9 | 1 | REGENCY HORSE (CE229) | K L Chui | B/TT | Out nicely, raced prominently and part of pace battle early, worked for first part before dropping to leaders back on circle, there to 250 M, lost touch when hard run took effect at 200 M. |
| 10 | 11 | ORIENTAL MAGIC (CE133) | F Coetzee | -- | Tardy to jump, took up spot behind midfield 8Ls back 2 wide, suited by speed on in front, niggled along on bend, only managed a one paced effort beating tired horses. (Bled.) |
| 11 | 13 | KING ENCOSTA (CG247) | D Nikolic | CP1/TT | Began with rest, raced 6Ls back 3 wide without cover, worked through mid section, switched 4 wide on turning, couldn't muster and struggled last 300 M. |
| 12 | 8 | NILOMETER (CD052) | Y T Cheng | TT | Ordinary jump, posted 4 wide in midfield when tried to take closer order, 7Ls back on circle, did it tough and was feeling effects on turning in, made no impression in run to line. |
| 13 | 9 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | W M Lai | -- | Even break, assumed a midfield position 2 wide 5 to 6Ls back, helped by tempo but clearly not relishing conditions on bend, found little from 400 M and dropped out tamely in straight. |
| UR | 3 | HELENE PILLAGING (CC084) | H W Lai | TT | Left rider in gates. |
