| 1 | 6 | SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) | K T Yeung | SR/TT1 | Was checked at the start, settling behind midfield 1 off with cover. Rolled out to race 3-wide without cover after the 700 M and commenced a sweeping run. Came wide in the straight to finish strongly over rivals. |
| 2 | 1 | MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) | D Beadman | XB | Travelled 3 back the fence. Was shifted out into a run between horses near the 200 M and looked to have the race in its keeping soon after but was mowed down inside the 100 M. |
| 3 | 8 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | D Whyte | B | Stalked the leader along the fence. Railed up turning for home and despite hitting the front after the furlong, came up short in the run to the line. |
| 4 | 2 | BOLD CHAMPION (CG127) | M Du Plessis | B-/V1 | Raced 1 out 1 back, no excuses. |
| 5 | 10 | PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) | M Nunes | B | Tired after leading when challenged near the 200 M. |
| 6 | 4 | SUPER FANTASY (CD162) | O Doleuze | TT | Travelled in last position, made some ground in the run home but peaked on its efforts well before the post. |
| 7 | 12 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | H W Lai | B | Began awkwardly and travelled in midfield one the fence. Worked to the line dourly. |
| 8 | 9 | PRIMIATA (CG226) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Raced midfield, 2 deep with cover. Loomed up approaching the 200 M but failed to find any extra in the run to the wire. |
| 9 | 5 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | W M Lai | B | Camped outside the leader, had every possible chance, found little in run to line. |
| 10 | 7 | LOHAN (CH279) | F Coetzee | CP | Settled 2-wide behind midfield, struggled in the straight. |
| 11 | 3 | DASH (CG236) | C W Wong | B- | Unable to muster sufficient speed in the early stages and raced near the rear of the field on the fence. Never appeared to travell comfortably and when placed under pressure after the 600 M did not respond. Not likely. |
| 12 | 11 | UNDERDOG (CH172) | P H Lo | B | Travelled near the rear for the duration of the race. Never likely. |
