Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | TOM'S FIRST (CA354) | D Dunn | SR | Settled in rear 9Ls off pace at 1000 M, at least 7Ls down and 5-wide entering straight, headed for better ground along stand's side, 2Ls 2nd and gaining 200 M out, led 50 M out, kept on. |
| 2 | 14 | BRAVE KNIGHT (CC131) | Y T Cheng | TT | 3-wide but with cover when 5Ls off pace in 10th at the 1000 M, 5-wide into home straight when 5Ls down, headed towards stand's rail for better ground, ran on well to nick 2nd place on line. |
| 3 | 12 | SUPER SPRINT (CA274) | R Fradd | V | Beat away, pressed on to lead out 2-wide by 1L at 900 M, fly-leapt 600 M out, 2Ls to the good entering straight and going well, still 2Ls clear 200 M out, collared 50 M out and lost 2nd late on. |
| 4 | 11 | MY FAVOURITE (CA125) | S Dye | -- | Always deep on track, 5-wide without cover 900 M out and towards rear, 5-wide on straightening when 6Ls down, veered to stand's rail for better ground, ran on well, nearest at finish. (Bled.) |
| 5 | 2 | ROYAL ARMY (CB103) | C Williams | SR | 3-wide with cover and 6Ls off pace in 12th at 1000 M and similarly placed entering stretch, ran on fairly well nearer the stand's rail without threatening principals. |
| 6 | 3 | DILIGENT (CC285) | A Delpech | -- | 3-wide and 4Ls off speed in 6th at 1000 M, checked at 800 M and knocked back to 6Ls off pace in 9th, 4Ls down and 4-wide on turn for home, always outpaced finishing off down centre of track. |
| 7 | 6 | LOYAL DEVOTION (BV075) | T Mundry | -- | Caught 4-wide without cover 4Ls off pace in 5th at the 1000 M, 3Ls down and 4-wide into home straight when in 4th place, much too one-paced thereafter. |
| 8 | 8 | TOY QUEST (CC036) | A Marcus | V | Slowly away, checked at the 1000 M when on fence and 4Ls off pace in midfield, 5Ls down at 600 M and entering straight, very one-paced and no threat. |
| 9 | 10 | ABORIGINAL (CC284) | W C Marwing | -- | Keen early on, 2-wide and 5Ls off pace in 9th at 1000 M, 6Ls down and towards rear entering straight, no impression. |
| 10 | 1 | NOBLE FALCON (CC035) | D Whyte | -- | Prominent racing 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in 3rd at 1000 M, 2Ls 2nd and niggled along entering straight, failed to pick up and beaten over 200 M out. |
| 11 | 7 | ALL THE BEST (BV211) | J Quinn | B/TT | Had a nice spot on fence and 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1000 M, switched out 2-wide and 4Ls down in 5th turning for home, found nothing under pressure. |
| 12 | 4 | LUCKY STALLION (CA249) | M W Leung | B/TT | Checked at 1200 M and knocked back to 6Ls off pace in 11th place at 1000 M when 2-wide, no better off and 3-wide on straightening, never a factor. |
| 13 | 13 | GOOD FRIENDS (BV213) | K C Tsang | SR | Led out 2-wide at 1200 M, onto fence at 1000 M, headed 900 M out, 3Ls down and struggling to hold position entering straight, quickly faded. |
| 14 | 9 | BEST FOR ALL (CB040) | G Schofield | SR | 2-wide and 4Ls behind leader in midfield at 1000 M, under pressure to lie up turning for home, retreated rapidly. |
