| 1 | 12 | KINGSTON GLORY (CC310) | S K Sit | B2 | Broke with field. Ridden vigorously to lead. Set good pace throughout. Held 1L advantage after straightening. Found plenty when asked. Charged home strongly and out-paced rivals for a convincing win. |
| 2 | 3 | SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) | Y T Cheng | TT | Began fairly from outside barrier. Under the whip to go forward early stages. Settled 2Ls from leader on fence in prime spot. 3rd to enter straight. Kept on giving in straight, but no challenge to winner. |
| 3 | 7 | CROISSANT (CE109) | C Munce | -- | Jumped well from deep draw. Good early speed to race outside leader's heels. 2nd after straightening. Chased gamely, but couldn't match strides with top pair. Worked hard to keep 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | WE'RE BUDDIES (CC142) | G Schofield | B/SR | Began slowly. Raced in the rear section throughout. 6Ls back 2-wide in 2nd last at 800 M. Last few on straightening. Responded strongly and made late ground final 200 M once in clear. Good effort to make frame. |
| 5 | 6 | A BETTER DRAGON (CC329) | D Dunn | SR | Began awkwardly. Settled at rear on fence. At least 8Ls off speed after 1000 M mark. Shifted out to race 2-wide until shifting back to fence on straightening. Made ground steadily along inside. Nearest at finish. |
| 6 | 9 | ATHLETIC GOLD (CC241) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Began very well. Kept 4Ls behind lead on fence. Had easy trip throughout. Niggled on the bend. Closed gap between leader to be 3Ls behind after straightening. Ran on fairly final 250 M. Lacked dash to be a factor. |
| 7 | 4 | TOUCH DOWN (CB013) | F Coetzee | TT | Slow to begin. Near tail on fence at 1200 M. Shifted 3-wide to improve after 1000 M. 7Ls from lead entering the turn. Last few and widest to enter straight. Picked up late and closed race nicely on the outside. |
| 8 | 1 | FLAG FINDER (CE224) | W C Marwing | -- | Away well. Hard to settle early stages. Midfield or better with cover throughout back straight. Within 4Ls from lead entering straight. Switched wider for running, but closed race only one-paced. |
| 9 | 8 | ALL FIT (CD065) | K W Tsui | B-/TT | Began awkwardly, then quickly shifted to hold rail behind midfield. 5Ls back in 8th at 800 M. Same margin turning in. Kept on only fairly to the line. |
| 10 | 5 | RISING WIN (CC089) | S Dye | V-/SR | Jumped best from wide draw. Strode forward from a 3-wide spot entering back straight. Niggled to stay 4th without cover halfway. Pressured rounding home, but did very little in straight. Tired final 200 M. |
| 11 | 11 | LUCKY ENCOUNTER (CC143) | D Whyte | B | Broke very well. Ran 2-wide around midfield. 5Ls behind lead at 600 M in 7th. Eased out to go forward and ended up very wide after straightening. Found nothing in straight. |
