Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | UNIQUE JEWELLERY (CH196) | O Doleuze | -- | Modest getaway, ended up 6 to 7Ls away in running line, suited by tempo and relaxed in run, shifted 3 wide with cover on bend, made good ground down middle final 300 M to snatch win late. |
| 2 | 1 | KINGS FALCON (CJ185) | D Beadman | XB1/H | Standard jump, drifted back to race 6 to 7Ls back on fence, used little in run, improved on bend, made run with eventual winner down middle final 300 M, just nosed out in final strides. |
| 3 | 9 | LEGEND OF COLOUR (CK003) | Z Purton | B | Out with rest, assumed a more prominent spot 5Ls away on rails, aided with speed on, saved ground on fence on bend, into clear turning, did best work final 200 M to snatch 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | REDRAGTOABULL (CJ292) | W C Marwing | XB | Speedy beginning, set tempo to suit in front, allowed to slide passing 1000 M, was 4Ls clear on bend, kicked strongly maintaining advantage to 100 M but couldn't sustain run, held on creditably to make frame. |
| 5 | 5 | ROMA PEGASUS (CK115) | B Prebble | -- | Well enough away, box-seated 3Ls away on fence, raced keenly and kept to rails for a ground saving trip, into clear and chasing at 350 M, looked a chance before peaked at 150 M, just held ground thereafter. |
| 6 | 2 | THUMBS UP (CK005) | C Soumillon | -- | Began with rest, allowed to take a midfield role, ended up 5Ls back in midfield, travelled well turning, lacked usual sprint but kept finding in straight despite hanging to be nearest on line. |
| 7 | 4 | MORE BOUNTIFUL (CJ094) | D Whyte | -- | Away well, slotted into 1 out 1 back spot however overraced throughout, raced 3 wide on bend, ridden along turning but lacked usual close and just held ground concluding stages. |
| 8 | 8 | BEAUTY FOREVER (CK074) | G Mosse | TT | Smartly into stride, positioned outside leader in first part of event, had cover from midpoint, close enough on turning, kept to task in straight but lacked extra gear to factor final 200 M. |
| 9 | 12 | QUICK TOUCH (CJ196) | Y T Cheng | -- | Standard jump, taken back but forced to race 3 wide at rear, 7Ls back, did share of work with pace on, still back with last few turning, just held ground in straight. |
| 10 | 6 | ARION OF CHIU TON (CK136) | M Du Plessis | -- | No early speed, ended up 8Ls away in 2 wide line, not used to bend, still well back turning, made minor progress in straight without threatening. |
| 11 | 13 | ABOVE ALL (CJ215) | J Victoire | -- | Ordinary break, worked forward 4 wide to race outside leader by midpoint, used plenty of petrol with pace on, faded out from 300 M. |
| 12 | 11 | VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) | S Dye | H | Restrained from a wide alley, raced 10Ls off leader early but was further back by midpoint, set huge task once pace quickened, well back turning, passed only tired runners. |
| 13 | 7 | GALAXY TREASURE (CK220) | J Winks | TT1 | Fast into stride, worked across to rails and took a sit behind leader, did share of work to turn, struggling on straightening and soon dropped out of contention. |
| 14 | 14 | SLEEP WELL (CK036) | W M Lai | -- | Well enough away, pressed forward but posted 3 wide in midfield 4Ls back, pushed 4 wide in mid-section, tough run took toll and folded from 500 M. |
