| 1 | 10 | BETTER BOY (CD134) | F Coetzee | -- | Steadied at start, 8Ls behind in 8th on fence at 1200 M, 3-wide into stretch when 4Ls down in midfield, rallied gamely to lead final strides. |
| 2 | 11 | INVERNESS (CD108) | C Williams | SR/TT | Disputed early lead out 2-wide but soon settled about 1L off pace in 2nd until top of homestretch when in front, 1L clear 200 M and grabbed final strides. |
| 3 | 12 | MASTER GIGOLO (CC375) | C W Wong | TT | 7Ls behind when 2-wide in 7th at 1200 M, keen at 1000 M when checked, 3Ls down in mid-division when 4-wide off home turn, ran on strongly to nick a place near line. |
| 4 | 7 | GIFT (CB246) | E Saint-Martin | B | 6Ls behind on fence in 6th at 1200 M, 3Ls down in 6th at home turn, 2Ls down in 3rd at the 200 M, kept on well but lost a place final strides. |
| 5 | 2 | GOODY (CD239) | A Delpech | -- | Steadied at 1500 M, 12Ls behind in 13th at 1200 M, improved to be 4Ls down in midfield off home turn, no clear run from 350 M to 100 M, nearest at the finish, unlucky. |
| 6 | 1 | JOYFUL SPIRIT (CB032) | D Holland | -- | 5Ls behind in 5th when 2-wide at 1200 M, head up at 1000 M, over 2Ls down in 5th off home turn, ran on fairly but always held by principals. |
| 7 | 3 | CHEEKY (CA266) | R Fradd | -- | 9Ls behind in 9th at 1200 M, checked at 1000 M and forced 3-wide without cover, 4-wide into home straight when 5Ls behind in 12th, ran on well enough, nearest at finish. |
| 8 | 13 | LEILATI (CE089) | S Dye | TT1 | Settled 13Ls last at 1200 M, 6Ls down in rear on straightening when under pressure, made some nice late ground, never nearer. |
| 9 | 4 | DAVE'S BEST (CC060) | D Whyte | -- | Always well placed about 2-wide and 2Ls behind 3rd from 1400 M to 600 M, 1L down in 3rd and very dangerous off home turn, failed to quicken up and weakened through final 100 M. |
| 10 | 5 | LIBERAL'S CHOICE (CC345) | M Rodd | -- | Had the box-seat run on the fence 2Ls off pace in 4th from back to home straight, one-paced thereafter. |
| 11 | 8 | FLYING BISHOP (CA296) | O Doleuze | SR | 11Ls behind in 12th at 1200 M, checked at 1000 M, 5Ls behind in 11th when 3-wide off home turn, always outpaced. |
| 12 | 14 | SHANGHAI KING (CC188) | W M Lai | TT | Always towards rear, 11Ls behind in 11th at 1200 M, 6Ls down in 13th off home turn, posed very little threat. |
| 13 | 6 | MOSCOW BALLET (CE142) | B Prebble | -- | 10Ls behind in 10th at 1200 M, head up at 1000 M, 4Ls off speed and still worse than midfield towards inner off home turn, always outpaced. |
| 14 | 9 | GREAT LEADER (CE032) | S K Sit | B1/TT | Disputed lead at 1400 M, a little keen when 1L clear at 1200 M, joined at top of home straight and gone 300 M out. |
