1 | 2 | CONGRATS (CG298) | Y T Cheng | -- | Settled in front of midfield, travelled nicely along the fence, helped by the fast pace, progressed steadily 300 M to win. |
2 | 3 | WHIPLASH (CG072) | C K Tong | B | Hard ridden early to get across in front of the field, took rail and then eased to sit 3-1/2Ls off the fast pace, progressed steadily 400 M, led 200 M, overhauled 50 M, ran on for 2nd. |
3 | 11 | MIRACULOUS (CE115) | F Coetzee | -- | Pressured early, led by 3-1/2Ls at fast early sectionals along the fence, hung on until 200 M when overhauled, kept running on well to the line and finished a remarkable 3rd. |
4 | 5 | DON RICARDO (CE262) | D Whyte | B- | Midfield, 6-1/2Ls off the leader along the fence, helped by the fast pace, made ground 250 M. |
5 | 1 | DIAMOND ERA (CE040) | B Prebble | SR/TT | Eased back and crossed towards the rail, 8-1/2Ls behind the leader, favoured by the fast pace and the rail-run, made ground 200 M without really threatening. |
6 | 6 | SOLAR POWER (CE047) | M Nunes | TT | Pushed to sit 4-1/2Ls off the leader 2-wide, helped by the fast tempo, just held ground in straight. |

10 | 12 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | H W Lai | B | At back, more than 10Ls off the leader 2-wide, helped by the fast tempo, but never progressed. |
11 | 9 | JUBILOSO (CD381) | K L Chui | B | Hard ridden early but lacked speed and trapped 3-wide in midfield, 5-1/2Ls behind the leader, helped by the fast pace crossed to 2-wide at home bend, soon weakened 400 M. |
12 | 8 | SPARKLING STAR (CD055) | D Nikolic | B | Eased to rear, raced 3-wide throughout and lost too much ground at bend, never competitive. |
