Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) | W M Lai | B | Prominent but without cover very early, 2-wide and 2Ls down in 4th at 1000 M, sent on to lead at top of homestretch, 1L clear at 200 M, readily. |
| 2 | 9 | SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) | Y T Cheng | B | 5Ls behind in 8th when 2-wide at 1000 M, closer turning for home and clear 2nd when 1L behind winner at 200 M, always held by winner. |
| 3 | 13 | DURABLE (CE190) | S Dye | -- | Box-seat on fence at 1400 M, 3-back on fence 4Ls in 5th at 800 M, a little closer taking home turn and briefly held up for a run at 300 M, lacked pace of quinella pair but plugged on to take 3rd on line. |
| 4 | 14 | DEFLECT (CD094) | D Dunn | TT | 10Ls off pace in 2nd last at 1000 M, 5Ls down in 10th off final bend, kept on fairly, just missed out on a place, albeit a long way behind quinella pair. |
| 5 | 3 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | C K Tong | PC-/B2/H/TT | 4-wide no cover early on, pressed on to lead at 1000 M, 2Ls clear at 800 M, headed at top of home straight, very one-paced. |
| 6 | 4 | BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) | R Fradd | B | Worse than midfield about 7Ls off the pace at 1200 M, 4Ls down in 8th taking home turn, didn't threaten to get much closer. (Bled.) |
| 7 | 1 | CHALLENGER (CE138) | D Whyte | B/TT | 3Ls off the pace when 2-wide at 800 M, 3-wide no cover when 1L down in 3rd entering home straight, 2Ls down in 3rd and one-paced at 200 M, plodded the remainder. |
| 8 | 7 | SNIPER (CD110) | B Prebble | B | In midfield about 5Ls down in 7th at 1200 M, 3Ls back in 6th taking final corner, failed to kick. |
| 9 | 6 | MONZA KING (BV280) | H W Lai | B | Sluggish, awkward start losing 3Ls, 10Ls last at 1000 M, 6Ls back entering homestretch, made no ground on principals but stayed on past a few beaten rivals. |
| 10 | 11 | POSA (CE337) | G Mosse | SR | 3-wide with cover about 8Ls behind at 1000 M near rear, closer entering homestretch when a little short of running, soon clear but didn't find anything. |
| 11 | 10 | NOBLE BOSS (CD360) | O Doleuze | TT | Slow away, 8Ls off pace in rear at 1200 M, 5Ls down in 10th turning for home, soon outpaced. |
| 12 | 8 | FORTUNE GOLD (CD343) | F Coetzee | -- | Shared early lead but headed at 1000 M and 2Ls down in 2nd at 800 M, struggling to lie up off final bend, continued to struggle. |
| 13 | 5 | SUNDAY DELIGHT (CC225) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Always 3-wide no cover and worse than midfield at least 5Ls off the speed, never got involved. |
| 14 | 12 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | S K Sit | -- | Dreadful performance, led to first turn before travelling in 3rd spot but keen and got very unbalanced after colliding with rail at 1400 M and well beaten 800 M out. |
