Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | VICTORY MARBLE (BV275) | C Munce | -- | Best away and soon led on fence, always 1L clear until home straight, stayed on gamely for pressure to hang on. |
| 2 | 8 | TOP SCORER (CE110) | R Fradd | TT | Keen when 3Ls off speed in 5th at 1100 M, similarly placed on the turn for home, went for an inside run at 250 M that did not eventuate, switched back out, ran on well but post came too soon. |
| 3 | 5 | NOBLE HEART (CC355) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | 3Ls down in 6th when 2-wide at 1100 M, 4Ls down at 800 M and same margin down in 6th when 3-wide off final bend, unbalanced when 2Ls down at 200 M, recovered well to snatch a place. |
| 4 | 9 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | G Schofield | BO1 | Awkward break and a bit sluggish early, 3Ls off pace in 4th and 2-wide from 1200 M to home bend, kept on fairly well for pressure despite never really threatening a victory. |
| 5 | 11 | HAPPY KID (CC326) | W M Lai | SR | Away well and had the run of the race on fence about 2Ls off the speed through to final bend, 1L down in 2nd at the 200 M, one-paced when it mattered and lost a place inside final 50 M. |
| 6 | 7 | AMSTERDAM (CE140) | D Whyte | TT | Switched from widest gate to fence, 8Ls down in 11th at the 1100 M, 7Ls down entering home straight, still had 5Ls to find at 200 M, ran on strongly along fence late to be nearest at the finish. |
| 7 | 3 | KONRAD THE GREAT (CB059) | B Prebble | V | On fence 4Ls off the pace in 7th at the 1100 M, 5Ls down at the final bend in similar position, made some fair late ground but always held by more prominently placed rivals. |
| 8 | 12 | THUNDER MAN (CB239) | Y T Cheng | B | About 5Ls back in 8th and 2-wide from 1100 M to home stretch, 3Ls down at 200 M in 8th, didn't have much room and not fully tested inside closing stages, nearest at finish. |
| 9 | 2 | DIAMOND ERA (CE040) | C Soumillon | SR/TT | Didn't become fully involved, 7Ls down in 10th at 1100 M, 6Ls down in 10th at final bend, made some minor late ground without overtaking any rivals. |
| 10 | 1 | MAVERICK STAR (CE279) | C W Wong | -- | Awkward break, 3-wide no cover so pressed on to be 1L down in 2nd out 2-wide from 1000 M to home stretch, found very little off the bridle and swamped 200 M out. |
| 11 | 10 | GREAT LEADER (CE032) | F Coetzee | B/TT | 10Ls last at the 1200 M, under pressure and detached taking final turn, never a factor. |
| 12 | 6 | PROGRESSING TIMES (CC231) | C Brown | TT- | Always 3-wide no cover, 7Ls off the speed in 9th at 1100 M, under strong driving when 5Ls down in 7th tackling final turn, weakened quickly. |
