| 1 | 10 | HAPPY ERA (N378) | B Prebble | B | Began OK, not pressured, settling towards rear in a one-off position. Taken very wide entering straight, finished strongly down centre track to just win. |
| 2 | 12 | GOLDEN HARVEST (N236) | U Rispoli | TT | Began well, stayed with leading pack to back stretch before easing 2-back, one-off. Held in pocket entering final turn, switched out 250m, hit front 150m, run down near line. |
| 3 | 6 | STRAIGHT GOLD (N089) | N Callan | H/XB | Jumped with field, cut to rail entering back stretch, settling midfield. No clear run early in straight, hampered 200m, finished off nicely when clear. |
| 4 | 2 | EL ZONDA (CK132) | A Suborics | TT | Began well but outpaced, dropping to near rear. Picked up momentum 350m, forced to switch out 200m when disappointed for run, kept on well. |
| 5 | 11 | FIONN'S TREASURE (M386) | M L Yeung | B | Began well, lost place first turn, mustered to grab box seat. Unbalanced, bumped 200m when shifting ground, rolled forward, looked chance before swamped 50m. |
| 6 | 8 | BULLISH FRIEND (N333) | M Chadwick | TT | Ridden forward but held wide and unable to cross runners. Left without cover from 800m when leading pair crossed to rail. Kept on steadily early in straight before tiring. |
| 7 | 1 | BEST ELEVEN (N016) | D Whyte | TT | Began OK, ridden along but didn't muster, settling behind midfield along rail. Held for running early straight, ran on fairly when clear. |
| 8 | 7 | IMPERIAL ROME (N012) | K Teetan | TT | Slow into stride, taken across behind runners but held 3-wide back stretch. Swung very wide into straight but only one-paced. |
| 9 | 9 | LONDON CHINA TOWN (CL236) | C Y Lui | -- | Pressed to go forward, taking lead on settling but very wide. Crossed to rail 900m, led field to 200m before tiring. |
| 10 | 5 | WINDICATOR STAR (N233) | Z Purton | H/P/TT | Jumped fairly but outpaced, dropping to last back stretch. Stayed on rail entering straight but found little under pressure. |
