Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 11 | MY WISH (J256) | L Ferraris | -- | Jumped on terms, stayed close to leaders in 4th spot, found another gear passing 300M, quickened to lead mid-straight and kept on well late stages to hold off 2nd and 3rd. |
| 2 | 3 | DIVANO (J142) | B Shinn | TT | From wide draw elected to drop back, settled in last 10Ls off the good early pace, had some work to do top of straight, held up to 250M then finished off strongly to take 2nd. (Jockey questioned re his tactics.) |
| 3 | 1 | PACKING HERMOD (J277) | Z Purton | -- | Bumped on jumping, settled ahead of midfield in 5th, within touching distance passing 450M, driven hard to chase leaders, all out final 200M but was held. |
| 4 | 5 | FAST NETWORK (J358) | C Soumillon | TT | Began well from draw 1 before settling down 2-wide in a midfield position, angled out into clear passing 400M, worked home well but was always held by leaders. |
| 5 | 9 | MICKLEY (K082) | H Bowman | B1/TT | Taken back from wide draw, settled near last 9Ls off leader, made heavy contact with a rival between 350M to 200M then stayed on well enough final stages to just miss 4th. |
| 6 | 2 | RUBYLOT (H412) | B Avdulla | CP | Given a waiting ride near the rear, swung very wide from 600M then worked home modestly to claim 6th without troubling leaders. |
| 7 | 10 | LUCY IN THE SKY (J275) | K Teetan | H/TT1 | Tracked leader on outside, kept going well early straight and maintained 2nd place inside 200M, had no extra final 100M losing several places near line. |
| 8 | 12 | TOP GUN (J249) | J Melham | CP | Not hurried early stages, improved to mid-division halfway, saved ground on inside throughout, ran home fairly over final 400M and not posing serious threat to leaders. |
| 9 | 13 | TALENTS AMBITION (J136) | M F Poon | B/XB | Jumped only fairly, settled down midfield 5-6Ls off the pace, just battled home over final 400M. Never looked like troubling leaders. |
| 10 | 8 | GLORY ELITE (H311) | H Bentley | H | Soon led, took them along at good pace first half of the race, had 1L advantage going into final 400M, headed nearing 200M, faded towards the line. |
| 11 | 14 | MARKWIN (J420) | K C Leung | TT | Jumped only fairly and obtained a position behind midfield, switched wide from 600M, buffeted for room 350M-250M and held up for clear running, couldn't make up ground late stages. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 12 | 7 | CAP FERRAT (K021) | C Y Ho | -- | From draw 3 ended up racing 3-wide with no cover in midfield, failed to finish off in the straight. (Jockey : disadvantaged by racing wide and without cover for the majority of the race.) |
| 13 | 4 | CALL ME GLORIOUS (H410) | M Chadwick | -- | Chased leaders but couldn't sustain run passing 300M, soon drifted out of contention. |
| 14 | 6 | JOHANNES BRAHMS (K014) | M Barzalona | -- | Reserved behind midfield, caught wide no cover home turn, failed to close off the race passing 400M. (Jockey : raced in a disappointing manner.) |
