| 1 | 2 | LITTLE GIANT (V342) | Z Purton | -- | Away nicely, then taken to fence 3L from leading pair. Closed in around home turn, got inside run in straight, hit front 200m and pulled clear. |
| 2 | 1 | GREEN CARD (V126) | T Berry | CP/TT | Broke well, ridden to hold forward position 4L from leading pair. Urged forward 3-wide around home turn, finished off strongly to grab quinella placing. |
| 3 | 13 | PAKISTAN BABY (S442) | C Y Ho | CP/TT | Jumped OK but no early speed, dropping towards rear between runners. Switched out around home turn to get clear running, taken to centre track on straightening and finished strongly to grab minor placing. |
| 4 | 3 | STAR OF JOY (A171) | S Clipperton | -- | Pressed forward from an outside gate, racing wide until settling 2L from leading pair in one-out position. Urged forward top of straight to look a chance 300m but peaked on run and swamped final stages. |
| 5 | 8 | INVINCIBLE FRESH (T190) | D Lane | H-/E1/P2/TT1 | Ridden along to find fence, settling ahead of midfield 4L from leaders. Stayed on fence around turn and ran on steadily in straight without looking dangerous. |
| 6 | 4 | THE JUDGE (A147) | O Doleuze | H | No early pace and soon at rear along fence. Made some progress around home turn, taken wide in straight and ran on fairly. |
| 7 | 14 | LOOK ERAS (V123) | H N Wong | B/TT1 | Began awkwardly, vigorously ridden to go forward from outside gate but slow to muster and held 3-wide behind midfield. Taken wide in straight, bumped and unbalanced 150m, boxed on. |
| 8 | 5 | ARIZONA BLIZZARD (V264) | N Callan | H/TT | Off OK, then raced in midfield in one-out position. Switched out in straight but bumped several times midway, finishing one-paced. |
| 9 | 10 | DIAMOND DRAGON (V002) | K Teetan | B/H/XB | Steadied shortly after jumping, shifted across behind rivals and last on settling. Last into straight, taken to centre track and ran past beaten rivals. |
| 10 | 6 | THOR THE GREATEST (P396) | H T Mo | -- | Hard ridden from outside gate to go forward, crossing to rail and racing a half length inside leader. Left in front 350m but had little left in the tank and gave ground gradually. |
| 11 | 9 | ELITE SPIRIT (S200) | K C Leung | TT | Jumped with field, not pushed and taken to rail behind midfield. Switched out turning for home, made some headway early in straight before running out of steam 200m and fading. |
| 12 | 12 | OHANA (A185) | B Prebble | -- | Beaten for early pace and soon at rear along fence. Never in the hunt. |
| 13 | 7 | EASY TOUCH (V269) | H Bowman | B/XB/TT | Jumped OK, steadied to find cover, settling at rear but wide. Lay out around turn, shaken up 300m but failed to respond. |
| 14 | 11 | MR RIGHT (T334) | T H So | H/P | Hard ridden from widest gate to lead passing 900m but kept away from fence by inside runner. Travelled keenly around turn and spent force passing 350m. |
