Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | HELENE SPIRIT (M310) | Z Purton | TT | Took an ideal spot 3ls back on rails, all favours in run and used little to bend, joined in at 400m, had too much in hand final 200m and scored a shade cozily. |
| 2 | 3 | REAL SPECIALIST (M143) | D Whyte | -- | Ended up in midfield on rails, 4-5ls back, improved wider at 400m, kept chasing but didn't have extra final 100m to get closer. |
| 3 | 9 | FAY FAY (CL284) | U Rispoli | -- | No early pace, settled behind midfield, 6ls or so back on rails, saved ground turning but forced to switch in straight, closed off soundly to just miss 2nd. |
| 4 | 5 | TIME AFTER TIME (M259) | G Mosse | XB/TT | No early pace, settled at rear on rails, 8ls or more back, job to do turning and in traffic until 200m, motored home late when clear and unlucky not to be closer. |
| 5 | 1 | PACKING OK (CL372) | N Callan | -- | Placed just behind midfield, racing 2 wide 6ls back, same margin back turning, came wider and worked home ok to be nearest at finish. |
| 6 | 2 | ADMIRATION (CL216) | B Prebble | B | Slotted into 1 out 1 back spot from a wide alley, every hope from there, joined in at 300m, peaked final furlong and unable to get closer. |
| 7 | 11 | SUPREME WIN (CK204) | O Doleuze | CP2 | Took a spot in midfield, 4-5ls back in running line, even trip to bend, made a bid 4 and 5 wide turning, no extra last 200m. |
| 8 | 12 | FAMILISTS (M102) | W M Lai | H | Restrained from a wide gate, raced at rear nearly 10ls from front, saved ground turning, made some ground late without looking likely. |
| 9 | 4 | CAPTAIN SWEET (CL354) | W C Marwing | CP | Pressed on from a wider gate to sit outside leader, fair run throughout, took over briefly at 400m, no dash final 300m and dropped off. |
| 10 | 14 | MIGHTY HIGH (CL096) | T H So | H | No early pace back with last few 7ls or so away in running line, still well back turning, made no serious progress. |
| 11 | 6 | LEADING CITY (CK298) | T Clark | TT | Landed a nice spot on leaders back, had a fair run to bend, didn't pick up turning in and weakened final 300m. |
| 11 | 13 | FLYING COLOURS (CJ111) | M L Yeung | B-/XB | Restrained from outside alley, posted 3 wide at rear, had cover but struggling to improve turning, passed only beaten horses. |
| 13 | 8 | FLYING BLUE (CL389) | R Fourie | B/H | Unable to slot in and stuck racing 3 wide without cover 2ls back, forced to do it the hard way to bend, knocked up in straight. |
| 14 | 7 | AASHIQ (CK175) | T Angland | CP | Showed customary speed to take up running, set speed to suit, tackled on turning and gave in cheaply without usual fight. |
