| 1 | 11 | KIWI DASH (CC281) | B Prebble | -- | Began with rest, taken straight back, dug up to be 2 wide 4Ls away in midfield, had good run and closer than usual on turn, angled into clear at 300 M, came with strong sprint to hit lead at 200 M and go on for deserved win. |
| 2 | 3 | AMERICAN VICTORY (CD375) | O Doleuze | B | Standard to begin, instantly restrained to tail, lobbed along at rear 10Ls off pace, caught 2nd last horse on circle, swung 3 wide on turn, made up great amount of ground down outside to snare 2nd. |
| 3 | 5 | PLEASURE PLEASURE (CD271) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Fastest to leave gates, crossed easily to race outside leader, raced ungenerously early, travelled well at leader's girth on turn, challenged and took lead into straight, couldn't dash last 200 M and held of a wall off for 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | NATIVE LANGUAGE (CB116) | H W Lai | B | Began with them, lacked early toe and forced to race wide in midfield, parked 3 wide without cover 3 to 4Ls away, improved slightly to turn, unable to quicken but kept giving and stuck to task well to make frame. |
| 5 | 8 | FLASH HARRY (CB180) | R Fradd | SR | Broke with line, pressed on in attempt to slot in, posted 3 wide 3Ls away with cover in mid-section, tracked nicely to turn, eased 4 wide in straight, threatened to 200 M but didn't go on with it last bit. |
| 6 | 13 | PAY-DAY (CD182) | A Delpech | SR/TT | Away reasonably, pushed on to take closer order, forced to cover ground 3 wide without cover 1L away, always working and moved up to challenge on turn, kept giving but lacked dash to figure last 200 M. |
| 7 | 7 | TIMBER CITY (CC031) | F Coetzee | B | Broke nicely, soon gathered enough speed to take up running, had fair run setting even speed in front, upped temp from midpoint, tackled on turn, fought on until 200 M but found little thereafter. |
| 8 | 6 | SPY KING (CE205) | H K Yim | CP | Standard to break, ridden up to hold spot behind leader, had run of race in mid-section, hard ridden and struggling on turn, in traffic for most of straight but not doing well enough, not tested last 200 M. |
| 9 | 12 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | E Saint-Martin | V | Average to leave gates, occupied midfield role on rails 4Ls off pace, had easy time not used in middle stages, stuck to fence in straight, kept on but run didn't eventuate. No clear run last 200 M. |
| 10 | 4 | MURCIELAGO (CE004) | G Mosse | B | Bounced with them, allowed to drift back when posted from wide alley, raced 2 to 3 wide with cover, 7Ls away at tail, still well back on turning, came between runners and made fair ground before run closed at 200 M. |
| 11 | 14 | SUPER LUCK (CD150) | Y T Cheng | B | Standard beginning, lacked speed and settled worse than midfield, raced 3 wide 4 to 5Ls away with cover, pushed along on circle, struggled in straight, only plodded at same pace to line. |
| 12 | 1 | CASH BABY (CD220) | M W Leung | PC-/H- | Awkward to begin, raced ungenerously and lost spot early, raced 7 to 8Ls away on rails, always well back, still had job to do on turn, offered little in straight finishing at same pace. Lame morning after. |
| 13 | 9 | FLORAL ARTS (CE197) | C K Tong | V | Average to begin, ridden up to hold 1 out 1 back spot, enjoyed nice trip in mid-section, in traffic but ridden along on turn, found nothing under hard riding in straight, weakened to be well beaten. |
| 14 | 2 | DANZIGMOUNTAIN (CG139) | S Dye | B1/TT1 | Slow to begin, ridden up to race just worse than midfield, stuck to rails and was 5Ls away at midpoint, struggling and niggled along on turn, offered nothing in straight and drifted right out of it. |
