| 1 | 9 | BUTTERFIELD (CG178) | D Whyte | B | Out in line. Settled in the ideal position 3Ls back on rails, had soft trip throughout, in behind runners on circle, same back turning, quickened nicely into gap last 200 M to go on and score with same in hand. |
| 2 | 4 | ELFHELM (CC342) | G Boss | B | Okay jump but allowed to settle into midfield running line, raced 4Ls back throughout enjoying nice trip, switched 3-wide on bend and hit lead rounding for home, couldn't hold off winner late. |
| 3 | 3 | DASHING THUNDER (CD080) | Y T Cheng | -- | Began nicely, took up coveted 1 out 1 back spot, had run of race 2Ls away with steady tempo, close enough making turn, swept up 3-wide entering straight, closed well but overhauled by top 2 last 200 M. |
| 4 | 12 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | B Prebble | -- | Even jump but couldn't go early speed, ended up 6Ls back in running line, not aided by steady tempo, made a 3-wide run on circle, switched widest and made plenty of late progress to make frame. |
| 5 | 5 | HOLD HANDS (CH116) | C K Tong | B | Standard jump and taken back from a wide alley. Raced 6Ls back on rails, harmed by tempo, still back amongst horses and held up rounding bend, closed race off nicely down outside when clear. |
| 6 | 8 | AWARD (CE111) | G Mosse | TT | Slow into stride, back at rear as usual, ended up best of part of 8Ls away, not helped by steady sections, well back and in impossible spot turning in, made good late progress when race was all over. |
| 7 | 10 | KOWLOON FIT (CE247) | F Coetzee | -- | Showed good early pace to take expected prominent role, raced outside leader 1L back, had a fair trip with standard sectionals, close enough turning and threatened to 100 M but just tired late. |
| 8 | 2 | NOBLE HEART (CC355) | H W Lai | B/TT | No early pace and drifted back towards tail, raced 7 or more lengths back in 2-wide line, disadvantaged by sections, switched 5-wide turning in, made steady headway final furlong from impossible spot. |
| 9 | 6 | BEST POWER (CG006) | O Doleuze | B | Tardy to begin, settled behind midfield on rails, 5Ls back but saved ground on inside despite sectionals against, back in amongst horses on turning, made some late headway without threatening. |
| 10 | 11 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | M Nunes | CP/TT | Showed early toe to take spot behind leader, no excuses in run with leisurely sections, close enough on turning, compounded rapidly when pressure applied from 200 M, displayed little turn of foot. |
| 11 | 7 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | M W Leung | TT | Displayed expected pace and lead them easily, dictated terms 1L clear throughout, upped tempo on circle, under siege at 200 M, gave in weakly and dropped out quickly. |
| 12 | 1 | EYE WITNESS (CG027) | K Shea | XB/TT | Began only fairly, posted 3-wide without cover 5 to 6Ls back, used resources throughout, same margin down by Rock, couldn't respond when they dashed for home and struggled in run to line. |
