Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | ULTRA FANTASY (CG311) | D Whyte | B | Crossed from wide gate to flank leader 2-wide in 2nd at 800 M, shared lead turning in and kicked 1L clear at 200 M, responded well to pressure. |
| 2 | 4 | COUNTRY MUSIC (CD035) | C Soumillon | XB/TT | Always close-up around midfield and no worse than 2Ls down until home turn, chased well but never likely to reel in the winner. |
| 3 | 2 | KING ENCOSTA (CG247) | K L Chui | TT | Prominent but 3 and 4-wide no cover down backstretch, advanced to dispute lead on straightening, no extra final 200 M but still placed, big run. |
| 4 | 10 | MAVERICK STAR (CE279) | B Prebble | -- | With cover around midfield through opening exchanges, 4-wide and 2Ls down turning for home, kept on well as usual but couldn't grab leading trio. |
| 5 | 6 | TIGER PRAWN (CG279) | G Mosse | TT | 3-back on fence in midfield 3Ls or so from the speed before cornering for home, ran on well enough without threatening to place. |
| 6 | 1 | SANZIRO (CE208) | G Boss | B/XB/TT | In rear bunch about 5Ls back early, keen and unbalanced at 700 M, 5-wide (widest) turning for home, made only a fair late impact. |
| 7 | 5 | LIBERAL'S KNIGHT (CE272) | F Coetzee | -- | Had the box-seat position on fence 2Ls back in 4th or 5th until the home turn, steadily faded out of the picture. |
| 8 | 11 | ELEGANT WIN (CG297) | Y T Cheng | B | 4-wide with cover in rear about 5Ls off pace early on, left 4-wide no cover on the circle and just 1L back in 4th at top of stretch, beaten 200 M out. |
| 9 | 13 | WHATAFANTASY (CH267) | E Wilson | TT | Slowest out, trailed field by 6Ls at 800 M, shifted very wide off final bend, posed little danger down centre of track. |
| 10 | 12 | CHEERFUL MASTER (CE309) | H W Lai | B/TT | Towards rear about 5Ls from speed at halfway and about 4Ls down turning for home, brief traffic problems at 300 M but always outpaced. |
| 11 | 3 | FIFTY FIFTY (CD131) | Z Purton | -- | Soon led on fence, about a neck clear early but joined for the lead turning in, dropped out rapidly, bled. |
| 12 | 9 | DOWN THE WICKET (CH059) | O Doleuze | B/TT | 3-wide with cover about 3Ls back in midfield, much too keen in middle stages and weakened out tamely in the straight. |
