Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | SOVIET PEARL (CK187) | Z Purton | -- | Soon moved across from draw 12 and settled towards the rear 7Ls back, taken out to make his move passing 400 M, responded positively and hit the front 150 M out, cleared away and won with plenty in hand. |
| 2 | 11 | ABSOLUTE HEDGE (CL032) | D Whyte | TT | Settled 4 to 5Ls back in mid-division and saved ground on the inside, picked up well on straightening and burst through a gap to challenge, couldn't threaten the winner but continued on well to go 2nd close home. |
| 3 | 7 | MASTER GUNNER (CJ142) | D Beadman | SR/XB | Restrained to a 2-wide spot behind midfield, taken wide to make his move passing 500 M, came with a promising looking run inside 250 M, kept on well to the line but had no answer to the winner's turn of foot. |
| 4 | 6 | GOOD GAINS (CJ293) | W C Marwing | -- | Slotted into a 2-wide position and settled 6th in midfield, ran on in straight but lacked pace to seriously challenge. |
| 5 | 8 | EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) | Y T Cheng | -- | With leaders early then settled in 4th in chasing group just off the pace, briefly threatened inside 250 M but couldn't sustain his run in late stages. |
| 6 | 4 | WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) | J Victoire | CP | Switched off after the start and raced in last over 9Ls behind leader, had plenty to do final 350 M, stayed on but was never seriously involved. |
| 7 | 12 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | J Lloyd | -- | Dropped back after the start, raced in 2nd last over 8Ls from the lead and not used till 300 M, ran on from off the pace but not reached leaders. (Jockey reminded to avail himself of advantageous positions wherever possible.) |
| 8 | 5 | WEI HAI INVINCIBLE (CH258) | B Doyle | B/TT | Cut out the early running till 1000 M then sat in 3rd tracking leaders, had his chance but could only keep on at the same pace. |
| 9 | 10 | MY MATE ADRIC (CL004) | W M Lai | H | Pushed along after the start, took over passing 1000 M and went a slow gallop in middle stages, couldn't shrug off his pursuers turning into straight, headed 200 M and weakened. |
| 10 | 9 | CHATER D'CAT (CK119) | A Suborics | TT | Obtained a rail spot behind midfield after an awkward start, 5Ls down inside 400 M but lacked a response when asked. Never any impression. |
| 11 | 3 | BULLISH WIN (CH197) | B Prebble | B/TT | Broke well form draw 1 and tracked leaders along the fence, keen in middle stages and couldn't pick up turning into straight. Never threatened. |
| 12 | 2 | WHATABOB (CD213) | G Mosse | B/TT | Went forward and raced outside the lead, under serious pressure over the home turn and weakened noticeably final 250 M. |
