1 | 11 | MULTIMIGHTY (CG175) | B Prebble | B/TT | Had the box-seat early but switched out 2-wide a neck off pace from 1000 M to home turn when hanging out, clear lead 350 M out and extended inside final 50 M. |
2 | 1 | STILTON (CG173) | O Doleuze | V-/CP2 | Didn't break and settled in rear with cover about 6Ls off pace, 5Ls back in 12th turning for home, ran on strongly late to take 2nd inside final 50 M but had little chance with winner. |
3 | 2 | KINGSGATE GLORY (CH020) | F Coetzee | -- | Nice run despite a wide 3-wide no cover trip throughout, 2Ls down in 3rd from 1000 M to home straight, stayed on gamely for a place. |
4 | 3 | SOHNA (CG183) | D Whyte | CP1 | Settled midfield 3-wide but with cover and about 4Ls off pace through to final bend, had every chance to place but lacked the acceleration. |
5 | 4 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | D Nikolic | -- | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th from 1000 M to home straight, had every hope to place but one-paced inside final 200 M. |
6 | 6 | MEDIC LEGION (CE162) | A Delpech | -- | Broke very badly, veering sharply left losing considerable ground, 8Ls last at 800 M, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home in rear, stayed on only fairly for midfield finish. |

8 | 7 | CHAMP DRAGON (CB278) | C K Tong | TT1 | Led by 1L on fence at 1100 M, a neck ahead from 800 M to home turn, headed 350 M out and weakened out. |
9 | 13 | KING OF SPADES (CC056) | M Odendaal | B | On fence about 5Ls back in 10th at 1000 M, not much closer on straightening and never troubled principals. |
10 | 8 | FOREVER RICHES (CG174) | E Saint-Martin | B | Always 2-wide and slightly worse than midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed until home turn, never threatened. |
11 | 12 | SILVERBIRD (CB335) | Y T Cheng | CP/TT | Well placed 2-wide about 5th place and within 2Ls or 3Ls of the pace until home turn, failed to quicken up and well held through final stages. |
12 | 10 | LORD CAIRNS (CE127) | M Nunes | B2 | Didn't break well, over-raced early, 3-back on fence about 3Ls off pace in midfield until home turn when under pressure, found zero off the bit. |
13 | 9 | SINOSPIEL (CG003) | K L Chui | B | With cover 2 and 3-wide in midfield about 3Ls off speed until home turn, failed to kick and beaten over 200 M out. |
