Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | VIVA PRONTO (CL626) | F Durso | B | Soon driven to the lead and set a decent pace upfront, strongly challenged final 250M and despite being headed, rallied back to regain the lead 100M from home. |
| 2 | 9 | YUMMY SPIRITS (CK179) | D Beadman | -- | Held up in midfield 7Ls back, had to be shifted for a clear run passing 300M, closed off the race well but met interference close home. (Promoted from 3rd.) |
| 3 | 11 | AASHIQ (CK175) | J Lloyd | -- | Vied for early lead, restrained back to 2nd passing 1000M, responded well under urge and took a slender lead 150M but couldn't sustain his effort and drifted out in late stages. |
| 4 | 13 | ECLAIR FANTASTIC (CL629) | M Nunes | TT | Placed ahead of midfield and had a smooth run along the fence, stayed on well to the line without ever looking like getting to the leaders. |
| 5 | 6 | WHITE JADE (CK131) | B Prebble | CP/XB/H | Taken to 3rd under a positive ride, well placed to strike turning in, had every chance but was unable to make headway on leaders. |
| 6 | 12 | VIVA HONG KONG (CL628) | K M Chin | B | From a wide draw crossed to a midfield position 2 off the fence, progressed from 400M and did best work late. |
| 7 | 7 | PRESTO (CJ048) | D Whyte | -- | Settled 2-wide behind midfield, held up early in straight but found less than expected when clear passing 300M. |
| 8 | 14 | JAZZA BELL (CK636) | M Wheeler | B/XB/TT | Hard ridden out the gate but lacked early speed, ended up towards the rear over 10Ls back at one stage, responded fairly inside 400M, never threatened. |
| 9 | 4 | CHATER WAY (CL093) | G Mosse | B | Placed behind mid-division 3-wide, had plenty to do turning in, made limited progress down the outside, drifted in under pressure final 150M. |
| 10 | 5 | FLEET COMMAND (CK077) | O Doleuze | B | Given a waiting ride towards the tail of the field, not used till inside 400M, switched widest to challenge but ran on only fairly. |
| 11 | 1 | OPERATION SECRET (CH081) | B Doyle | CP | Switched off to the back and was over 10Ls down in middle stages, not quickened under pressure inside 450M, no impression. (Jockey lost whip 200M.) |
| 12 | 8 | DREAM TEAM (CK076) | M Chadwick | TT | From draw 14 gradually crossed to a 2-wide position ahead of midfield, outpaced passing 300M, no extra close home. |
| 13 | 2 | GOLDEN PISTOLS (CL625) | K H Yu | -- | In midfield 5Ls back, shifted out 500M to commence his run but found very little in the finish. |
| 14 | 10 | NITTAN'S CROWN (CL627) | S Dye | CP | Along the fence behind mid-division, moved out to challenge rounding the home turn but could not pick up. |
