| 1 | 7 | BEAR EXPRESS (M351) | W C Marwing | B/H | Jumped slowly, settled midfield 4Ls behind the leader and raced along the rail. Couldn't find a clear running until 120M. Dashed powerfully in the last 100M and got up to win by a nose. |
| 2 | 6 | HIGH RETURN (CK164) | Z Purton | B/TT | Jumped well but couldn't slot in. Trapped three wide and raced forward to park outside the leader 800M out. When asked for run after straightening, battled on strongly and looked like a winner. Just beaten by a nose. |
| 3 | 2 | CHARMGOLD (CK002) | H W Lai | B | Began awkwardly, settled Midfield 5Ls off the leader. Raced three wide and without cover throughout. Ran on strongly but unable to challenge the winner. Good effort after a tough trip. |
| 4 | 9 | SUNSHINE KID (M080) | O Doleuze | CP/TT | Jumped sharply and pushed forward to lead. Couldn't kick away and battled on but weakened and passed by runners in the last 100M. |
| 5 | 5 | PURE FORCE (M298) | D Whyte | SR | Began only fairly. Settled Midfield 5Ls off the leader. When asked for run after straightening, swung wide and ran on well close to the line. |
| 6 | 3 | INTELLECTUALSTRIDE (CL409) | B Prebble | H/SR | Eased to rear from the wide barrier and slot to the inside. Was checked 900M out and lost ground. Settled 7Ls behind the leader. Switched to the outside 250M out and ran on well close to the line. |
| 7 | 4 | LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) | A Suborics | B | Jumped sharply and ridden strongly to go forward. Dropped back to midfield and swung wide rounding the Home Turn. Kept on one pace. |
| 8 | 10 | MEGA POSH (M251) | T Clark | B/TT | Began fairly and soon pushed forward to obtain a box seat. Ridden rounding the home turn but only kept on one pace. |
| 9 | 11 | OCEAN WIDE (CJ132) | U Rispoli | H | Pushed forward. Slot in to two wide from the wide draw, settled behind the leading runners. Found nothing and weakened out. |
| 10 | 8 | DIAMOND ANGEL (M212) | K C Leung | TT | Began fairly, couldn't slot in to a spot. Trapped four wide throughout and niggled on the Home Turn. Faded out after straightening. |
| 11 | 1 | BET ON ME (CK376) | C K Tong | TT | Began awkwardly, proved very difficult to settle and was checked in the early stages, three wide throughout, couldn't run on. Never in a favorable position. |
| 12 | 12 | BARCELONA TOO (N093) | T H So | -- | Began slowly, not rushed. Sat at the rear, never a factor. Tailed out. |
