| 1 | 1 | NAPA II (CJ248) | O Doleuze | -- | Last out but soon recovered to race 2-wide at midfield. 3-wide behind leaders turning in. Lacked instant acceleration but put in a sustained effort to charge down rivals close to home. |
| 2 | 4 | DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) | M L Yeung | H/TT | Quickly into stride and overcame high draw to lead one-off the fence early. Taken to track the leader 800M out. Responded well in the straight and hit front at 150M. Just failed to fend off the winner closing stages. |
| 3 | 9 | UNITED (CK291) | B Doyle | TT1 | Behind leading section on fence through to the home straight. Rallied on with the front pair and was not beaten far. |
| 4 | 6 | MY WHISKY (CK071) | D Whyte | TT | Away in line. Taken to sit 2-wide behind the speed early. Allowed to take lead passing 600M in a 3-wide position. Still in front at 200M but failed to hold off the front trio closing stages. Hung on to make frame comfortably. |
| 5 | 10 | FULL BLESSINGS (CH238) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Raced within 6Ls of the pace through to the home straight. Covered some ground thereafter. |
| 6 | 11 | SOLAR UP (CK065) | S K Sit | -- | Began awkwardly. Raced at midfield on fence from 1200 M. Shifted 3-wide and was 3Ls down on straightening. One-paced to conclude. |
| 7 | 5 | EASY WIN (CJ288) | B Prebble | H1/TT1 | Raced within 3Ls of the leader and travelled wide through to the home straight. Unable to turn up a notch. (Mucopus) |
| 8 | 2 | SAPELLI (CK191) | K C Leung | B- | Sat 3-wide in midfield after average start. Steadied and shuffled further back near 1100M. 4-wide 8Ls down on straightening. Made some headway in the home straight. |
| 9 | 3 | CHIEF WITNESS (CJ219) | T H So | TT | Disputed lead on fence early. Led by 1L passing 800M and was levelled turning in. Couldn't keep up in the straight. |
| 10 | 14 | ACCELERATOR (CG179) | G Cheyne | -- | Raced as the back marker trailing over 10Ls early. Moved closer on straightening and continued to make up ground when the race was all over. |
| 11 | 13 | ROMANCING TAMAR (CK176) | W Pike | B/TT | Raced towards rear early and was given reminder to maintain position 800M out. Never a factor. |

| 13 | 7 | CENTURY KNIGHT (CK233) | D Beadman | B1/TT1 | Behind midfield early. Took closer order outside the field passing 800M and was 5-wide without cover turning in in the front rank. Dropped out thereafter. |
