Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | SPECIAL STARS (C010) | C Keane | -- | Was allowed to find feet after the start before positioning midfield off the rail. Improved position before cornering but still conceded 5Ls on straightening before sprinting powerfully to strike lead inside final 100m and win. |
| 2 | 2 | MIDNIGHT RATTLER (T371) | S De Sousa | B | Away well and showed good speed despite being bumped heavily in first 100m. Positioned close to the speed in middle sections before striking the lead at the 150m but was overhauled in last 100m. |
| 3 | 11 | GODSPEED (A087) | K Teetan | B- | Had no early speed and settled at the tail. Conceded at least 10 lengths on cornering before being pulled out wider on the track after straightening and made large amount of late ground in the run to the line. |
| 4 | 10 | LUCKY LUCKY (A347) | Y Take | B- | Began fast from wide barrier before coming across to share lead in first 300m. Assumed outright lead around 600m out and was still prominent until being overrun in final 200m. |
| 5 | 1 | GENERAL IRON (P429) | Z Purton | H/TT | Wasn't the quickest into stride but before making up some ground in first 200m to settle worse than midfield on the fence. Was 7 lengths off lead on cornering and made good late ground but was never a winning threat. |
| 6 | 3 | MR RIGHT (T334) | H Bowman | H/P | Showed good early speed to assume lead before being joined for lead after 200m. Was then headed and was tightened for room on the point of the bend before battling away fairly in the straight. |
| 7 | 9 | BRAVE BABY (C066) | M Barzalona | B1/TT | Was ridden prominently in early stages before settling right behind leaders but slightly over racing after 300m. Was around 2.5 lengths off lead on cornering and did not threaten in the run to the line. |
| 8 | 5 | WINNING SUPREME (A351) | C Lemaire | B | Was very slow into stride missing the start around 3 lengths. Tacked onto the back of the field after 250m but was always at the back due to slow get away. |
| 9 | 4 | SUPER EIGHTEEN (A323) | C Y Ho | B | Was heavily bumped after 100m before settling midfield in the clear. Was ridden up to improve position before cornering. Was still 6 lengths off lead on cornering and effectively maintained that margin in the run to the line. |
| 10 | 12 | FLYING NOBLE (A267) | M F Poon | -- | Was away well but did not have the early speed of rivals and settled in the final few. Conceded a large margin on cornering never really threatened to challenge in the run to the line. |
| 11 | 6 | LUNAR ZEPHYR (V385) | R Moore | TT | Began well from inside draw but could not get to lead, instead settling behind leading pair. Was within 2.5L on cornering in but faded out in the final section. |
| 12 | 7 | ROYAL RACER (B460) | J Castellano | H/P1 | Was allowed to find feet after the start and positioned near the tail after 200m. Never really improved position in middle stages and failed to catch the eye in the final section. |
