| 1 | 5 | JOY AND FUN (CH014) | G Boss | CP1 | Began well, pressed on to race outside leader, had a fair run after pace slackened, sat 3/4L off leader on bend, stuck with leader throughout length of straight gaining ascending late for a deserved win. |
| 2 | 2 | PRIME SCORE (CG280) | C W Wong | B | Fastest away, displayed good pace to cross from an outside alley, backed off tempo after early burn, held 3/4L lead on bend, wound up on turning in, kept fighting impressively to go down narrowly in finish. |
| 3 | 9 | LUCKY HERO (CH135) | D Beadman | -- | Lacked usual pace, settled behind mifield 5 to 6Ls back in running line, proved difficult to settle, made a 3 wide run on bend, bumped 4 wide in straight, chased hard final 300 M to be not far away in finish. |
| 4 | 1 | GALLANT LION (CG243) | C Soumillon | H | Slow to begin, ended up 6 to 7Ls away in usual spot near rear, helped by early pace but not so when they steadied, still well back in traffic turning, into clear at 250 M and closed best of rest to make frame. |
| 5 | 6 | EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) | B Prebble | SB/TT | Well enough away, slotted into prime position 1 out 1 back, enjoyed run of race in mid-section, close enough on turning in, lacked turn of foot but kept on soundly to be not far away on line. |
| 6 | 3 | REGENCY DRAGON (CH001) | B Fayd'herbe | B/TT | Out in line, lacked through to hold position on leaders back, had a fair run in middle stages, kept on soundly at same pace just failing to quicken to be a factor in finish. |
| 7 | 8 | HE CAN TANGO (CG288) | O Doleuze | B | Tardy into stride, regathered to take a spot 3Ls back on rails, had a quiet run throughout, still in behind horses turning and held up at 300 M, closed race off fairly when clear. |
| 8 | 13 | SECRET OF KINGS (CG102) | Z Purton | P-/H-/B2/TT | Moderate beginning, raced 6Ls back on fence, enjoyed a soft run but proved difficult to settle when pace slowed, made progress between horses in straight and looked a place chance before run ended at 250 M. |
| 9 | 12 | MY HOME TOWN (CH331) | D Whyte | -- | No real early pace, ended up in rearward division, raced 7Ls back in 2 wide line, still back amongst horses on circle, bumped on turning, lacked usual close and just held position inner to line. (Jockey reported "flat".) |
| 10 | 4 | SUPER TRAVELLER (CH275) | K M Chin | -- | Showed early pace, restrained to take cover 3 wide 3Ls back, had even run despite covering extra ground, asked to make run turning but lacked sprint of rivals and didn't close at required rate, tired late. |
| 11 | 11 | ISLAND SUPER (CH297) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Allowed to drift back from a wide alley, raced 3 wide behind midfield 6Ls back with cover, improved on circle however forced very wide on bend, unable to make impression in straight. |
| 12 | 10 | FLUKE (CJ061) | G Mosse | TT | No early pace, raced at tail of field 8Ls back in a 2 wide spot suited early but not really aided when they steadied, still well back on circle, set a big task but only struggled in run to line. |
| 13 | 7 | HELENE PILLAGING (CC084) | F Coetzee | -- | Reasonable break, pushed on in search of spot however posted 3 wide without cover, did share of work throughout close enough making turn, hard run took toll and dropped out in straight. |
| 14 | 14 | DON FELIPE (CD273) | H W Lai | -- | Fair to begin, assumed a midfield spot 4 to 5Ls back, used little in run, niggled along on turning, without a clear run until 300 M out but found little thereafter and faded out late. |
