| 1 | 10 | APPRECIATION (CK161) | M L Yeung | V/TT | In 3rd chasing leaders, always handy, rapid headway from 350M and took over near 200M, kept on well under pressure. |
| 2 | 11 | OUTDOOR PEGASUS (CL173) | H W Lai | -- | Taken back to rear 7Ls off the pace, shifted out approaching 450M to commence his run, finished fastest final 400M, nearest finish. |
| 3 | 3 | SAPELLI (CK191) | D Whyte | -- | Held up in last 7Ls behind leaders, saved ground along inside but was in the most unpromising spot turning for home, picked up strongly from 300M, came through to take 3rd close home, nearest finish. |
| 4 | 6 | ALGARVE (CK239) | B Prebble | -- | Travelled well on the rail 3-4Ls behind leaders, challenged strongly from 400M and looked a winner halfway down the straight, faded inside 100M, drifted out and lost 2nd place close home. |
