Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | GUN PIT (S183) | Z Purton | TT | Sat behind leading pair, checked 700M when attempting to improve position, soon recovered, quickened clear inside 250M, won with plenty in hand. |
| 2 | 6 | BUDDY BUDDIES (M021) | O Doleuze | B | Restrained in midfield, saved ground along the fence, stayed on well to go 2nd 100M but never looked like bridging the gap on winner. |
| 3 | 10 | LUCKY HAMMER (P417) | T Berry | B-/TT | Held up behind mid-division, shaken up 500M from home, did best work final 200M for a non-threatening 3rd. |
| 4 | 9 | INVICTUS (N282) | C Reith | B/XB | Stayed within striking distance throughout, kept on evenly entering straight but never a serious threat to first two. |
| 5 | 14 | EXPEDITE (N111) | M Du Plessis | H/P/XB | Soon in front under positive riding, was challenged for the lead entering back-straight, headed near 250M, no extra final 100M and weakened to 5th. |
| 6 | 12 | SUPREME ESSENCE (N401) | W M Lai | P2/TT | Restrained to a 3-wide position behind midfield, taken out 450M to challenge, stayed on fairly and never reached leaders. |
| 7 | 2 | MR MEDICI (CK218) | A Suborics | -- | Taken back from wide barrier, settled near the rear about 7Ls off the pace, stayed on mildly past weakening rivals. |
| 8 | 5 | PERFECT JOY (M182) | B Prebble | B/TT | Soon guided to the rail, settled 5Ls behind leaders, placed under serious pressure 500M out, failed to pick up the pace. |
| 9 | 3 | GOLDEN ADDICTION (P234) | J Moreira | P | Rushed forward from draw 10, chased leaders along the 3-path, made his bid 700M out, briefly led nearing home straight but run ended 250M and weakened towards finish. |
| 9 | 11 | WINNING APEX (N128) | C K Tong | P-/B2 | Towards the rear but never really travelled, detached from main group 600M out, niggled along and only began to pick up final 200M, made some progress without threatening. |
| 11 | 8 | CHAMPAGNE DAYS (CL024) | N Callan | H/TT | Settled into middle of pack, raced along the 2-path 3Ls off the pace, failed to pick up under pressure, weakened 250M. |
| 12 | 13 | GOLDLAND DANCER (N316) | K Teetan | B | In mid-division, 3-wide throughout, found little when driven 500M from home, never reached a contending position. (Lame left front.) |
| 13 | 7 | OLE OLE (CK301) | H W Lai | TT | Eased back to the rear, soon detached from the field over 10Ls off the pace entering final 400M, eased 300M when well beaten. |
