Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | TIME WARP (A066) | Z Purton | TT | Crossed to the lead 1650M, pressed by rival from 1500M setting fast pace to straight, headed by WERTHER early straight but courageous fought back to re-gain lead near 100M to win in track record time. |
| 2 | 2 | WERTHER (V083) | H Bowman | B2 | Settled down in 5th mid-pack, 4Ls off the strong pace, moved closer to leaders 700M, quickened to a narrow lead 300M but winner fought back late stages. (Bled.) |
| 3 | 4 | SEASONS BLOOM (V410) | J Moreira | TT | Towards the rear in a strongly run race, moved closer nearing top of straight and loomed a strong threat 300M, kept on solidly and pushed leaders to the line. |
| 4 | 3 | PAKISTAN STAR (V325) | M Chadwick | B-/H/PC1/TT | Slow to begin, recovered to be tracking leaders in a strongly run race, tried hard final 300M, held by leaders in the run home but nevertheless a creditable performance after lengthy absence. |
| 5 | 7 | GOLD MOUNT (A112) | C Soumillon | TT | Reserved to race near the rear in fast run race, last making the turn for home, stayed on final 400M without reaching leaders. |
| 6 | 6 | EAGLE WAY (A093) | T Berry | B | Reigned back to race in a rearward position, bustled along 550M but only ran past beaten horses in the run home. (Jockey reported his horse never comfortable in its action / Lame LF leg.) |
| 7 | 8 | DINOZZO (V246) | K Teetan | B | Began awkwardly, keen early, chased leaders in a fast run race, couldn't sustain run passing 400M and weakened away. |
| 8 | 5 | SECRET WEAPON (S217) | N Callan | B2/TT | Held up behind midfield in a strongly run race, faded turning in, never involved. |
| 9 | 9 | HELENE CHARISMA (A129) | K C Leung | B/H/TT | Moved up to press leader on the outside, set fast pace middle stages, couldn't keep up passing 800M, soon retreated to last and finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
