Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | KYRUS DRAGON (H396) | Z Purton | H/XB | Settled behind midfield along the fence, loomed behind leaders top of straight but was held up 200M before shifting out 150M to secure clear running, flew home to get up just in time. |
| 2 | 6 | GUSTOSISIMO (J303) | Y L Chung | TT | Sent forward, tracked leader into straight, responded strongly to wrestle the lead 150M, just couldn't hold off winner late. |
| 3 | 4 | EASON (G061) | M F Poon | V-/TT- | Bumped on jumping, raced wide no cover in midfield, moved closer to leaders home turn, responded well early straight, bumped 150M by rival before staying on strongly to take 3rd. |
| 4 | 11 | OUR LUCKY GLORY (G292) | A Badel | TT | Bumped at the start, waited with at the rear, 6Ls to make up 400M, switched to wide outside on straightening, closed off fastest to be beaten 0.5L in a busy finish. |
| 5 | 1 | NORDIC DRAGON (G467) | H Bowman | B/TT | Given a waiting ride at the rear, improved position passing 550M, swung widest into straight before running on well under top weight, nearest finish. (Jockey had difficulty in fully testing his mount over final 100M when it shifted in.) |
| 6 | 7 | SWEET BRIAR (H044) | L Hewitson | V/TT | Away quickly from draw 1, stayed close to leaders, shifted away from fence 400M to challenge, ran home mildly to get 6th in a busy finish. |
| 7 | 8 | YOUNG ARROW (J401) | K Teetan | XB | Maintained a midfield position 3-4Ls off the pace, closed off steadily final 300M to be not beaten far at the line, placed 7th in a busy finish. |
| 8 | 2 | SUGAR SUGAR (G016) | E C W Wong | B/TT | Caught wide from draw 11, quickly moved up and crossed to the lead, led them to 150M then emptied and weakened towards the line. |
| 9 | 12 | VIVA CHALEUR (G368) | K De Melo | PC-/TT2 | Always prominent behind leaders, couldn't quicken top of straight, soon out of contention. |
| 10 | 10 | TALE OF PERTH (J469) | B Thompson | B1 | Bumped at the start, settled down behind midfield, came under serious pressure to hold position 450M, failed to run on in the straight. |
| 11 | 3 | POWER KOEPP (E301) | M Chadwick | E/B1 | Jumped on terms, moved up to race just off the pace, couldn't sustain run inside 250M, faded towards the line. (Jockey : raced keenly with blinkers first time and as a result settled outside the lead.) |
| 12 | 9 | ARMOUR EAGLE (G093) | A Atzeni | B/XB/TT | From wide draw dropped back to race towards the rear, didn't respond to riding passing 400M. Never in the picture. (Jockey could offer no excuse for his mount's failure to run on in the Home Straight / Mucus.) |
