Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | GOOD NATURE (CE153) | C Munce | B | Began with them, taken hold to slot in 2 wide off pace (didn't settle well) and raced midfield 4L off lead throughout, enjoyed good run to turn, gained split entering straight and closed strongly to score with ease. |
| 2 | 3 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | O Doleuze | -- | Away well, showed good speed to take up prominent position, raced 1 out 1 back throughout 2L from leader, had run of race, angled 3 wide on turn and hit lead at 150 M but found winner too good. |
| 3 | 11 | KING OF FISH (CB105) | C Brown | B | Broke with field, drove through to hold spot behind leader, spent nothing in run, travelled kindly to turn, gained split in straight and tried hard lacking the dash of first two. |
| 4 | 5 | STABLE MAIL (CE184) | F Coetzee | -- | Fair to begin, drifted back as usual to race 4 back on fence 5L from pace, had soft run in middle section, tracked well into straight and made good ground between runners late giving too greater start. |
| 5 | 4 | WINNING KEVIN (CD051) | S Dye | -- | Away with field, positioned well 3 back on fence 3L off pace, had quiet run in middle section, made run between runners in straight, tried hard but lacked usual finishing burst. |
| 6 | 8 | CALIFORNIA BISHOP (CD351) | C W Wong | TT | Jumped nicely from wide gate, ridden forward to assume position at leaders girth, moderate pace in middle section, niggled along on turn, still in it until 150 M but weakened over concluding stages. |
| 7 | 10 | FORTUNE SMILES (CB432) | D Whyte | -- | Away well, showed good early toe to take up running, backed off pace in middle section, lead into straight, unable to offer resistance when tackled and compounded over last 200 M. |
| 8 | 6 | COME SEE YOU (CA368) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Average to begin, drifted back to settle 2nd last 2 wide 6L off frontrunners, travelled comfortably from that point, ridden along on turn, made up a little ground late but never likely. |
| 9 | 9 | FIGHTING MASCOT (CB426) | G Schofield | -- | Began fairly, no early speed, settled at rear of field on fence 7L from lead, not troubled throughout, placed under pressure from 500 M, stuck to rails in straight only passing beaten runners. |
| 10 | 2 | VICTORY MARBLE (BV275) | H W Lai | -- | Slow to begin, restrained to 3rd from rear from awkward alley, trapped 3 wide 5L off lead with cover throughout, always working and extra ground covered resulted in battling effort to line. |
| 11 | 7 | HAPPY PARTNERS (CD056) | S Sanders | TT1 | Started with them, trapped 3 wide without cover midfield from widest draw, had tough run to turn, under pressure in straight and gave up completely over last 200 M. |
| 12 | 1 | MONEY STRONG (CC369) | C Soumillon | SR | Began with them, caught 3 wide with cover 5L off pace, under pressure from 600 M, dropped right out as if amiss and eased down in straight. (Heart irregularity.) |
