| 1 | 3 | BAJAN BELL (CG142) | D Whyte | B | Away with them, lacked early pace and ended up 5Ls away on rails, helped by early speed, 2-wide on bend, came with well timed run to challenge at 250 M, hit lead late and held on. |
| 2 | 9 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | Y T Cheng | SR | Even jump, lacked pace and restrained to race in last few, raced 6Ls back in 2-wide line, helped by tempo, still well back on bend, made good late ground closing hard for a narrow defeat. |
| 3 | 2 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | M W Leung | BO | Showed good pace, raced outside leader applying pressure before taking over at 1000 M, kept a genuine pace on, kicked clear on turning by 1L, couldn't hold them off and plugged last 100 M. |
| 4 | 1 | LIVERBIRD (CE055) | S K Sit | B | Began with them but taken back from an awkward draw, raced 6Ls back on rails, still well down on bend, in traffic early straight, closed nicely last furlong to make frame. |
| 5 | 7 | ABLE KNIGHT (CE079) | Z Purton | H/TT | Showed speed from start, held rails early but elected for trail at 1000 M, raced behind the leader thereafter, into clear at 300 M, only produced a one-paced close. |
| 6 | 5 | STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) | F Coetzee | -- | Ordinary jump, soon at rear, raced 8Ls back in 2-wide position, aided by tempo, still well back on bend, closed nicely down outside making good late ground, set an impossible task. |
| 7 | 8 | SURE HERO (CG122) | M Nunes | -- | Showed little pace from gate, ended up in midfield 3 to 4Ls back in prime position but overraced in mid-section, 2Ls back turning, no run on and only plodded in straight. |
| 8 | 6 | DECAGONAL (CH244) | G Mosse | B | Broke well, overraced and rolled forward to race outside the leader, had no rest with even pace, niggled along to challenge at 300 M, faded quickly. (Mucopus.) |
| 9 | 4 | KAISER'S PRIZE (CD350) | W M Lai | -- | Away with them, took a spot in midfield 3Ls back on rails, had a quiet time in run, found nothing in straight making no impression. |
