Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | MERRY MERRY (BV298) | G Mosse | -- | Always pushing to maintain handy 3rd or 4th along the rail 2 or 3Ls behind lead. Ran on well after straightening to gain upper hand 150 M out. Kept on well to defy challenger final stages. |
| 2 | 1 | RARE (BS153) | E Saint-Martin | B | Niggled to go forward, better than midfield 2 to 3Ls off pace 3-wide. Accelerated well after the 250 M but just failed to pick up the winner final stages. |
| 3 | 12 | HIGHLAND LEGEND (BT139) | W M Lai | -- | Outpaced early despite niggled along, staged along the fence 6 to 7Ls behind lead. Made up steady ground near the rail from 250 M but no match with the quinella pair. |
| 4 | 9 | PROJECTSTAR (BV048) | W C Marwing | SR | Around midfield 2-wide 4Ls behind pace. Ran on a bit after 200 M without threatening. |
| 5 | 7 | KENZAN (CB068) | M Cahill | -- | Settled at rear from a difficult gate 3-wide. Made up steady ground from 200 M. |
| 6 | 8 | CLASSIC JESTER (BP208) | M W Leung | B | Soon led. 2Ls clear into straight until headed near 150 M. Weakened gradually final 100 M. |
| 7 | 6 | IT'S MY DAY (BV042) | Y T Cheng | -- | Show good early speed and soon sat outside leader. Hung in early stages then made the turn awkwardly and shifted out. 2Ls off lead into straight, kept on one pace, tired final 100 M. |
| 8 | 10 | GLORY HERO (CA057) | A Marcus | BO | Missed the start badly but steadily improved closer to midfield before making the turn. Wide and under pressure rounding home turn. Unable to produce extra in straight. |
| 9 | 4 | SNIPPETYIYEA (CB311) | S Dye | -- | Steadily dropped to worse than midfield. Travelled 3 to 4 wide from a difficult gate. 6Ls off pace. Raced greenly throughout and made the turn very awkwardly. No improvement in straight. |
| 10 | 5 | SUPER FAST (BV327) | F Coetzee | -- | Broke well, prominent 2-wide behind leaders. Unable to hold position from 600 M and was 3Ls off pace on straightening. One paced then weakened 100 M out. |
| 11 | 11 | ASCOT FANS (CB107) | K S Yu | -- | Jumped awkwardly, bumped another runner and became badly unbalanced, lost a lot of ground and got well back. Never a factor. |
| 12 | 2 | EVER SUCCESS (CB229) | E Legrix | -- | Towards rear, under pressure from 500 M and hung out rounding the turn. Dropped out upon straightening. |
