Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | GALAXY PATCH (H399) | C Y Ho | -- | Jumped awkwardly, settled in second half of the field but was never far off, ran on strongly final 300M, got up to beat the long time race leader just in time. |
| 2 | 8 | CHANCHENG GLORY (H212) | L Hewitson | B/XB | Led from 1300M, kicked on well early straight, shifted in under pressure between 200M-100M, caught by winner last stride. (Jockey's left foot dislodged from stirrup iron closing stages.) |
| 3 | 1 | BEAUTY JOY (E058) | B Avdulla | TT | From wide draw shifted across behind runners, settled at the rear until making a wide move 650M, battled on steadily to claim 3rd near line but no threat to first two. |
| 4 | 3 | TAJ DRAGON (H164) | A Atzeni | -- | Pressed forward, raced keenly outside the lead, fought on well to hold 2nd until nearing 150M, faded late and lost 3rd on the line. |
| 5 | 7 | ATULLIBIGEAL (G173) | A Badel | B/H/XB | Tracked leaders on inside, couldn't quicken enough turning home, always held by rivals final 200M. |
| 6 | 6 | THE GOLDEN SCENERY (E379) | Y L Chung | TT | Towards the rear in a 7 runner race, lacked a finishing response passing 400M. Never threatened. |
| 7 | 2 | ENCOUNTERED (G236) | K Teetan | TT | Tracked leaders, taken to a 3-wide spot entering the turn, couldn't go on and dropped away top of straight. (To consecutive Barrier Trials, OVE including diagnostic assessments.) |
