Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | DAO DAO (CH308) | D Whyte | -- | Out in line, pushed up to hold a spot behind leader, tracked well thereafter, right there turning, eased out at 300 M, accelerated sharply despite big weight and dashed clear for an easy win. |
| 2 | 6 | SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) | K T Yeung | -- | First to hit ground, took up running easily, set even tempo early before controlling race on bend, 1L clear and kicked nicely on turning, collared at 250 M and fought on well despite being no match for winner late. |
| 3 | 2 | GALLANT LION (CG243) | G Mosse | H | Lacked early speed, allowed to settle back 4Ls of pace, had a reasonable run with pace on, tracked well on bend, into clear at top of straight and kept trying but unable to match. |
| 4 | 5 | WINNING REWARD (CE254) | H W Lai | B | Moderate pace from outset, settled 4Ls back on rails, had a suitable trip with sectionals even, saved ground on bend, switched wider at 400 M, made a strong run to 200 M but just peaked last 100 M. |
| 5 | 4 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | E Saint-Martin | SR | No speed from barriers as expected, ended up 5 or more Ls back at rear, aided by tempo early, saved ground on rail on bend, well back on turning, made good progress in straight without threatening. |
| 6 | 10 | HE CAN TANGO (CG288) | O Doleuze | B | Allowed to drift back from a wideish gate, raced 6Ls away in running line, back with last few on circle, made good progress from tail at 600 M to finish in front of a few. |
| 7 | 7 | SUPER TRAVELLER (CH275) | M Nunes | -- | Little pace from gates, ended up behind midfield 3 wide 5Ls back, did have cover in mid-section, still back between horses turning in, produced only a one paced effort in straight. |
| 8 | 12 | IRISH JIG (CJ125) | Y T Cheng | TT | Lost considerable ground at start, re-gathered to race 3 to 4Ls back on rails, had a soft run thereafter, followed winner turning in, couldn't find extra gear and just plugged away in straight. |
| 9 | 9 | VENI VEDI VICI (CJ081) | B Prebble | TT | Began with purpose, took a close-up berth outside leader, didn't have an easy time with solid sections, close enough turning but lacked a finish and weakened out last 300 M. (Mucopus and jockey reported didn't fully stride out.) |
| 10 | 11 | MASTER POWER (CG318) | D Beadman | B | Away nicely, slotted into 1 out 1 back role, unable to settle on back of speed, still right there 2Ls back on turning, didn't offer much in run home turning in a one paced effort. |
| 11 | 3 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | C W Wong | -- | Began in line, attempted to take closer order, unable to slot in and raced 3 wide without cover 1 to 2Ls back, did share of work throughout, hard ridden approaching 400 M, soon struggling and dropped out. |
| 12 | 8 | KIMBO KID (CC379) | K L Chui | TT | Out in line, pushed on but unable to get close to lead, posted 4 wide without cover throughout, 2Ls down on bend but ridden along, quickly under pressure and folded tamely. |
