Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203) | A Badel | TT | Crowded shortly after the start, travelled well in mid-division, quickened up smartly passing 300M, led mid-straight and drew away late. |
| 2 | 6 | O'LINER (H264) | Z Purton | P/TT | Set the pace under pressure from outer rival, drifted to center of track on straightening, continued on well but was outkicked by winner in the late stages. |
| 3 | 4 | LIGHTNING BOLT (G130) | C L Chau | TT | Not hurried early stages, reserved behind midfield, kept on steadily final 300M to claim 3rd without troubling the winner. |
| 4 | 5 | EXCELLENT PEERS (G033) | J McDonald | H/XB | Settled behind midfield, ran on moderately from 300M but failed to find the needed kick. |
| 5 | 2 | TOMODACHI KOKOROE (H303) | C Y Ho | H/TT | Jumped only fairly from wide draw, settled in a rearward position further back than intended, closed off mildly on straightening. Not reach leaders. |
| 6 | 9 | ACT OF FAITH (H082) | A Hamelin | B | Away fast, settled just off the pace, tried hard to stay in contention early straight, run ended and faded final 150M. |
| 7 | 11 | SUPERB KID (H298) | K De Melo | -- | Slow to begin, dropped back to race at the rear 7-8Ls off the pace, brought wide early straight, made some progress towards the line. |
| 8 | 1 | POWER KOEPP (E301) | M Chadwick | E | Settled down in midfield along the fence, driven out 300M but responded only fairly under top weight, no threat from mid-straight. |
| 9 | 3 | GRATEFUL HEART (D278) | A Atzeni | B/TT | Jumped awkwardly, settled at the back of the field, failed to run on after straightening. Never involved. (Jockey : raced in a disappointing manner.) |
| 10 | 8 | GIDDY UP (J020) | K Teetan | B-/H/PC1/TT | Jumped only fairly, tracked leaders but raced ungenerously throughout the early and middle stages, found disappointingly little in the finish. |
| 11 | 7 | JOLLY RULER (E346) | L Hewitson | H | Bumped after the start, moved up to track leaders, failed to run on passing 300M, soon out of contention. |
| 12 | 10 | GOLDEN DARCI (H470) | Y L Chung | H1/TT | From draw 12 caught wide no cover chasing leaders, gave ground early straight, soon weakened to last. |
