| 1 | 13 | KING PRAWN SUPREME (CJ076) | F Coetzee | B | Awkward break but raced outside pace 1L back in 2nd at 800 M, led 500 M out and pushed clear, had more in reserve. |
| 2 | 10 | LUCKY FRUIT (CG026) | O Doleuze | B | 3-wide with cover worse than midfield at 800 M about 5Ls from the speed and about 3Ls down making final turn, stayed on pretty well to nick 2nd late. |
| 3 | 8 | ALL TIME HIGH (CG285) | C Soumillon | CP/XB/TT | Covered up in midfield early, headway to be a close 4th turning in, gave vain chase to the winner and tipped out of 2nd final strides. |
| 4 | 7 | SOUTH CHINA ELITE (CH027) | B Prebble | -- | 3-back on fence in mid-division about 4Ls from early speed, 2Ls down off final turn, given every chance to at least place but came up short. |
| 5 | 6 | FERRO BEAU (CG244) | D Beadman | -- | 2-wide and 2Ls down in 5th at 1000 M, about 1L down in 3rd or so on straightening, couldn't sustain the run in final 200 M. |
| 6 | 5 | NORTH HILL (CJ082) | G Mosse | -- | Settled 4-wide with cover in rear between 5Ls and 7Ls from the pace through to final bend, ran on strongly down centre of the track to be nearest at the close. |
| 7 | 12 | MIRACLE FORTUNE (CH292) | C K Tong | -- | 5Ls behind the early running with cover and headway to be 3Ls down in midfield at last bend, ran on okay without threatening. |
| 8 | 14 | SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) | H W Lai | -- | 4Ls down in midfield or worse when 4-wide but with cover on the circle, failed to improve from centre field. |
| 9 | 3 | WIN-A-LOT (CJ124) | M Nunes | -- | One from rear about 6Ls from the pace at halfway, outpaced in the home straight. |
| 10 | 2 | FOREVER FRIENDSHIP (CJ146) | Y T Cheng | XB1/H1 | Fractious in gates and slowly away, in rear bunch about 6Ls off speed in middle stages, remained there in the stretch. |
| 11 | 11 | SPRING SUN (CJ128) | D Whyte | -- | Kicked on out wide without cover to lead on fence by 1L at 800 M, headed by winner 500 M out and swamped passing the 200 M. |
| 12 | 4 | BOOMING CITY (CE325) | E Wilson | B/TT | Trapped 3-wide no cover at 800 M when 1L back in 4th, hung out on the circle and 5-wide turning for home, gave ground by the 200 M mark. |
| 13 | 9 | ENCOSTA DON (CH305) | W M Lai | -- | 7Ls last at the 800 M and still at tail end about 5Ls behind at final bend, made no impact. |
| 14 | 1 | GRAND COMMANDS (CD300) | C W Wong | SR | Nicely placed in 3rd through early stages but lost position on the circle and weakened out sharply from top of home straight. |
