| 1 | 8 | COUNTRY STAR (B396) | Z Purton | -- | Broke well, eased to sit behind leaders, quickened up well to re-gain lead 150M, kept on strongly, edged clear inside 100M to win with something in hand. |
| 2 | 9 | LITTLE BIRD (B069) | G van Niekerk | B/TT1 | From draw 12 bustled along to lead nearing 1000M, given a breather home turn, fought on well when tackled by eventual winner early straight, headed 200M, kept on for 2nd. |
| 3 | 10 | GRADE ONE (A010) | K C Leung | B | Sent forward to be chasing leader, had every chance turning in, held by first 2 in the run home. |
| 4 | 11 | SUPER LEADER (V016) | D Whyte | TT | Reserved in 2nd last, brought wide into straight, closed off well to claim 4th just in time, nearest finish. (Hung final 100M, difficult to ride.) |
| 5 | 1 | FANTASTIC FEELING (T273) | N Callan | -- | From draw 11 chased leaders in 4th place, kept on steadily in straight without troubling first few. |
| 6 | 4 | TOP SCORE (V357) | M L Yeung | B/TT | In mid-division 5Ls off the pace on settling, crept closer nearing top of straight, kept on same pace when driven out, held ground only. |

| 10 | 7 | SALTO OLIMPICO (A350) | T H So | -- | Held up behind midfield, 3-wide making the turn for home, bustled along 550M but couldn't pick up on leaders, weakened final 200M, never on terms. |
| 11 | 6 | BEAUTY TIME (A374) | H N Wong | H/TT | Taken across behind runners from wide barrier, always at rear and never got going in the straight. |
| 12 | 5 | GOLDEN SUN (V187) | C Murray | TT | Settled towards the rear, 6Ls off the pace home turn, didn't respond and struggled to the line. |
