Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | AEROVELOCITY (P069) | Z Purton | B/TT | Bounded in the air as the start was effected, 6Ls away at the rear and travelled much further back than usual, had a smooth run down the inside entering straight, made strong headway to get up near line. |
| 2 | 11 | SUPER JOCKEY (P195) | K Teetan | -- | Strode forward, crossed to the lead before home turn, given a breather home turn, quickened again 400M, kept on well but shifted out badly under pressure final 100M, headed close home. |
| 3 | 10 | SMART VOLATILITY (P049) | Y T Cheng | -- | From draw 10 shifted across to a 3-wide position behind runners, pushed very wide 600M, hit the line strongly for a close 3rd. Creditable run in defeat. |
| 4 | 1 | ABLE FRIEND (P303) | N Rawiller | CP | Reserved in a rearward position 4-5Ls off the pace, bid wide 600M, quickened up well to go 2nd inside 300M, loomed a serious threat but effort flattened final 100M. |
| 5 | 7 | GOLDEN HARVEST (N236) | N Callan | TT | Settled 3Ls back in midfield, held up behind a wall of horses entering straight, switched out to clear 250M, finished off well to claim 5th and should have been closer. |
| 6 | 6 | BUNDLE OF JOY (P180) | B Prebble | -- | Went forward as expected, tracked the pace 2-wide, ran on same pace when driven 400M, caught up by pursuing rivals 250M, faded towards line. |
| 7 | 3 | CHARLES THE GREAT (N171) | D Whyte | SR/TT | Taken back behind runners from widest draw, settled at the rear 6Ls off the pace, ran on only fairly final 400M, never reached contention. |
| 8 | 4 | FREDERICK ENGELS (N187) | C Reith | TT | Held up behind midfield, kept on at the same pace when the race got serious inside 400M, no impression on leaders. |
| 9 | 8 | BULLISH FRIEND (N333) | M Chadwick | H/TT | Began awkwardly, stayed within striking distance behind leaders, could not muster the pace to challenge inside 400M, soon weakened. |
| 10 | 2 | STERLING CITY (N152) | J Moreira | -- | Travelled in midfield 3-wide, no cover from 800M, found disappointingly little when asked turning home, gave ground 200M. |
| 11 | 9 | GO BABY GO (N033) | T H So | -- | Tracked leaders in 3rd, had little left turning home, soon beaten, eased towards the line. |
