Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | STEP FORWARD (CB166) | O Doleuze | B/SR | On fence 5Ls off the speed in 6th at 1100 M, 3Ls down in 5th and still on inner off home turn, switched out to challenge when 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, ran on to lead final strides. |
| 2 | 10 | BARRACUDA (CB320) | W M Lai | -- | Led on fence 1400 M out, never clear by more than 1L and joined off home turn, stayed on gamely but was grabbed final strides. |
| 3 | 1 | CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) | D Whyte | B | Bumped at start, 3-wide without cover when 1L off pace in 3rd 1300 M out, got in 2-wide a neck 2nd at 1100 M, a neck 2nd at home turn and disputing lead at 200 M, no extra close home. |
| 4 | 11 | SUNDAY DELIGHT (CC225) | C Williams | -- | In 4th place when 3Ls off the speed at the 1100 M, 2-wide and still close up turning for home, one-paced thereafter, always held. |
| 5 | 6 | CHERISHED (CB160) | F Coetzee | P | On fence 7Ls behind leader in 8th at 1100 M, 6Ls down in midfield off home turn, stayed on without threatening principals. |
| 6 | 5 | HAPPY HEROES (CD261) | H W Lai | B1 | Checked soon after exiting gates, 2-wide and 6Ls off the speed in 7th at 1100 M, much the same off final bend, made some decent late headway, never nearer. |
| 7 | 9 | MR BEAUTIFUL (CB057) | C K Tong | -- | Slowly away, 8Ls off the speed in 9th or 10th on fence from 1100 M to home straight, never threatened. |
| 8 | 3 | DEEP PURPLE (CB251) | P Payne | -- | 2-wide when 4Ls off the speed in about 5th from 1200 M to home turn, briefly loomed a threat on outer when 3Ls down at 250 M, very one-paced in the finish. |
| 9 | 4 | LUCKY SUPERSTAR (CA270) | A Starke | TT | Switched from wide gate to sit 11Ls last on fence at 1100 M, about 8Ls back off home turn, never a factor. |
| 10 | 2 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | M Rodd | -- | 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 1100 M, driven along 500 M and 3-wide into home straight when 2Ls behind in 4th, very one-paced final 200 M. |
| 11 | 8 | ENORMOUS WAY (BV136) | B Prebble | -- | Awkwardly away, about 10Ls off pace in rear until 600 M, not much closer on straightening, no danger. |
| 12 | 12 | MAMOUSKA (CB444) | Y T Cheng | B | 8Ls behind in 9th when 2-wide at 1100 M, head up at 600 M and caught widest of all (4-wide) on the swing, little hope thereafter. |
