Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 13 | POCKET MONEY (CE253) | F Coetzee | B | Away in line, drifted back to midfield from a wide alley, 5 to 6Ls back 3 wide with cover, had a good trail in, 4 wide turning, accelerated nicely to hit lead at 150 M and power away for a soft win. |
| 2 | 12 | MAVERICK STAR (CE279) | Y T Cheng | -- | Standard jump, settled in 2 wide line 4 to 5Ls back in midfield, not used in mid-section, inside winner on bend, amongst horses to 250 M when tightened, closed well when clear last furlong. |
| 3 | 4 | SURVEY SURVEY (CH070) | B Prebble | XB/TT | Ordinary break, mustered to sit more prominently 2Ls back in 2 wide line, travelled well and close enough in 4th turning, took over at 300 M but couldn't hold off challengers weakening last bit. |
| 4 | 5 | EXCELLENT BOY (CE238) | G Mosse | -- | Out in line, drifted back from a wide gate to be 7 to 8Ls back in last trio, covered ground with a trail throughout, well back turning, steadily progressed and did best work late to make frame. |
| 5 | 6 | GOODY (CD239) | O Doleuze | -- | Began fairly, showed enough to hold spot 3Ls back on rails, had a dream run in mid-section not using much to bend, made even ground before racing tight at 200 M, closed off reasonably thereafter. (Injured right hind.) |
| 6 | 9 | HAWKES BAY (CG064) | G Boss | XB | Allowed to drop back from outside draw, raced 7 to 8Ls back in running line, not asked in mid-section, last on turning switching 4 wide, made good ground down centre to be nearest on line. |
| 7 | 2 | VIVA MACAU (CH110) | D Whyte | CP2/TT | No pace from outset, took a position 3 wide without cover in midfield, raced 3Ls back and was difficult to settle in mid-section, close enough turning but just produced a one paced finish. |
| 8 | 8 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | C W Wong | -- | Little pace from gates, raced behind midfield 6Ls back in 2 wide line, travelled sweetly through middle stages, same margin back on turning, hung in straight, progressed well under hands and heels. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 9 | 14 | GO JOHNNY GO (CG290) | C K Tong | -- | Out with rest, took closer order racing outside leader, relaxed well and no more than 1/2L back throughout, challenged turning, unable to sustain effort last 200 M. |
| 10 | 10 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | K L Chui | SR | Slow to begin and lost ground, urged along and ended up 5Ls back on rails, enjoyed soft trip to turn, made some progress before being checked at 200 M, too late to recover. |
| 11 | 7 | EXPECTATIONS (CD078) | H W Lai | -- | Fast into stride, led early but handed up after short distance, had easy time behind leader to bend, run opened at 300 M but couldn't dash and just plugged away in finish. |
| 12 | 3 | FAMOUS DANCER (CD353) | M Nunes | XB/H | No early pace, ended up at rear as expected 8Ls back on rails, spent nothing throughout, well back on turning, only held ground in straight. |
| 13 | 11 | WHATABOB (CD213) | Z Purton | B-/XB-/CP1/TT2 | Amongst first to break, pressured and took up running past 1000 M, set an even tempo to bend, 1L clear turning, soon collared and weakened tamely in run to line. |
| 14 | 1 | HAPPEE OWNER (CE230) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Away well enough but unable to slot in, raced 4 wide 5Ls back without cover, did plenty of work to bend, weakened out in straight (severely lame). |
