| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | UNIQUE SPEED (CG134) | B Prebble | V-/TT1 | Disputed pace at 1200 M but elected to box-seat soon after, going well turning in and led 200 M out, ran on well. |
| 2 | 11 | KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) | C K Tong | XB | Disputed early tempo, sent on to lead by 2Ls turning for home, headed just before the furlong pole, no chance with winner but held 2nd easily. |
| 3 | 7 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | M Du Plessis | B | Became well detached from the field and still at least 10Ls behind turning for home, ran on through several beaten rivals to snatch unlikely placing. |
| 4 | 3 | MEATH (CE143) | D Whyte | SR/V | 4Ls back in midfield at halfway, under pressure at 600 M, one-paced, plodding finish. |
| 5 | 6 | NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) | H W Lai | CP | Worse than midfield about 5Ls from the pace at halfway and further adrift entering home straight, no response. |
| 6 | 4 | CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) | Z Purton | B | 3-wide no cover at 1100 M when close up, under pressure in 2nd at 500 M, wilted in home straight. (Lame next day.) |
| 7 | 12 | MASTER OF SHAVERS (CJ026) | M Nunes | XB | Detached when 8Ls back at halfway, never really on terms with main players. |
| 8 | 8 | BULB TREASURE (CH048) | K L Chui | -- | 3Ls down in 5th early on, losing touch on the circle and faded out. |
| 9 | 9 | DECAGONAL (CH244) | W M Lai | B/TT | Without cover throughout, in touch at the beginning but extra work on a very wet track saw him struggle well before final bend. |
| 10 | 1 | BOLD CHAMPION (CG127) | O Doleuze | V | 3-back on fence at 1000 M when 4Ls from speed, back-pedalling on the circle, eased out final stages. |
| 11 | 10 | G-ONE LEADING (CE306) | F Coetzee | -- | Never better than midfield, no cover down back straight, slipped out of contention before last turn. |
| 12 | 5 | DASH (CG236) | M W Leung | B2 | One from rear at 1200 M, always a long way detached and nearly out of sight in latter stages. |
