Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | EURO POWER (CL188) | Z Purton | B | Held up behind midfield, quickened well inside 200M, got to the front near the line and prevailed in a 3 way photo finish. |
| 2 | 10 | GROOVY (CL401) | T Angland | B/TT | Positioned 3-wide towards the rear, driven 400M out, responded well and made good headway inside 300M, drifted in under pressure late stages and was narrowly beaten. |
| 3 | 12 | VINTAGE HUSSLER (CL266) | W M Lai | B | Sped to the lead and took them along at a sound tempo, ran on well when driven inside 300M, caught by first two final stride. |
| 4 | 1 | OCEAN WIDE (CJ132) | C Y Ho | H | Tracked leader, loomed a threat 250M out, kept on well enough but couldn't quite get to the leader. |
| 5 | 3 | NEW GLORY (CK304) | B Doyle | B | In midfield along the fence, kept on steadily but never going the pace to challenge. |
| 6 | 7 | OUR PEGASUS (CK093) | H W Lai | -- | Positioned one out one back, couldn't find extra to challenge turning in, kept on to the line one paced. |
| 7 | 6 | IMPECCABLE (CL383) | O Doleuze | B/XB2 | Close enough to the pace, stayed on at the same pace under a hands and heels ride. (Jockey dropped whip rounding the home turn.) |

| 9 | 11 | REGENCY WINNER (CK410) | M Chadwick | TT | Towards the rear 5Ls back, not picked up going into straight, effort flattened out 200M. |
| 10 | 4 | SUNNY FAY (M119) | B Prebble | H/XB/TT | Slowly away, ended up 5Ls back at the tail of the field, didn't respond when put to pressure inside 400M, ran disappointingly. (Jockey said his horse inclined to lay out at various stages.) |
| 11 | 2 | MR VIGOROUS (CL189) | T H So | -- | Not far off leaders but was caught 3-wide without cover, found nothing in straight, weakened rapidly nearing 200M. |
