| 1 | 11 | SUCCESSFUL ERA (CK276) | D Whyte | -- | Placed in midfield 3Ls off leaders, made a crucial move away from the fence passing 400 M, progressed steadily to lead near 100 M and found the necessary to hold on. |
| 2 | 3 | HIGH RETURN (CK164) | B Prebble | B | Taken back and racing towards the rear throughout, 6Ls behind leader passing 400 M and ran on strongly down the outside to finish within a neck of the winner. |
| 3 | 7 | ABSOLUTE HEDGE (L032) | J Lloyd | TT | Up with the early pace then restrained to a position in midfield, swung widest into the straight, picked up strongly final 300 M to finish nearest on the line. |
| 4 | 2 | DARPANA (CK256) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Dropped back to a 2-wide position behind midfield, over 4Ls behind nearing the top of the straight, closed off the race well when clear inside 200 M. Narrowly beaten. |
| 5 | 4 | FORTUNE SPIRIT (CK102) | K C Leung | B | Broke well from the advantageous inside draw, placed handily behind leaders and swiftly moved into a striking position off the bend, ran on well but couldn't match strides with the late finishers final 100 M. |
| 6 | 10 | COOL CAT (CH330) | M L Yeung | B | Crossed to the fence soon after the start then vied for lead to straight, kicked 1L clear turning in, all out but was swamped inside 100 M. |
| 7 | 12 | MY MELODY (CJ157) | W Pike | B/XB/TT | Never far off the pace, one off the fence in the chasing group behind leading pair, drifted to the inside 350 M out and finished off at the same pace only. |
| 8 | 5 | HIGH LUCK (CK134) | W C Marwing | XB1 | Taken back from a wide barrier and settled in last 7Ls off the pace, niggled along from 500 M but took long while to muster, ran on final 200 M under maximum pressure. |
| 9 | 8 | ALL THE WINNERS (L019) | Y T Cheng | V | Went forward and attacked the lead on the outside, under serious pressure halfway round the home turn and weakened badly over the final 200 M. |
| 10 | 1 | ENERGIZED (CK135) | S K Sit | XB/H | Ended up behind midpack after a slow start, saved ground on the inside 4 to 5Ls back, driven 350 M out but no progress. Never a factor. |
| 11 | 6 | TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) | J Winks | -- | Caught wide in midfield throughout and raced without cover from 800 M, close enough turning in but found nothing off the bridle, eased. |
| 12 | 9 | PRINCE OF LUCK (CK206) | O Doleuze | -- | Slow to begin, ended up in last few trailing 7Ls to leaders, failed to pick up at all when asked, eased near 200 M. |
