| 1 | 1 | FULL OF JOY (CG293) | G Mosse | -- | Broke with others. Settled 3-wide without cover in 2L 4th, extending to 3Ls around home bend. Quickened well inside final 300 M to just defy runner-up's strong late surge. |
| 2 | 4 | UNIQUE JEWELLERY (CH196) | D Whyte | -- | Settled in midfield. Held up for a run early in straight until after 300 M. Fought on well to go down by the narrowest of margins. |
| 3 | 7 | GREAT GUY (CH112) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Broke well. Soon settled 3-wide in midfield. Ran on steadily inside final 200 M without threatening. |
| 4 | 14 | HURRICANE DASH (CJ186) | K T Yeung | XB/TT | Broke well. Soon restrained to rear of midfield but raced keenly far side dropping further back. Towards rear turning for home. Made up good ground down centre of straight to be nearest at finish. |
| 5 | 2 | KINGS FALCON (CJ185) | D Beadman | H | Began with others. Settled in forward of midfield on rails within 4Ls of pace. Saved ground on inside turning in. Soon came to challenge and hit front about 300 M out only to be caught over 100 M out when found no extra. |
| 6 | 10 | GALLANT CHAMPION (CJ002) | B Prebble | CP-/V1/TT2 | Settled in rail behind midfield after beginning from the one draw. Similar turning in. Shaken up upon straightening and raced tightly along rails until after 200 M. Made good late impression. |
| 7 | 6 | THUMBS UP (CK005) | Z Purton | -- | Settled in last few. Badly baulked for a run early in straight and forced to check 200 M out. Recovered well late. |
| 8 | 3 | DANESIS (CH194) | F Coetzee | TT | Settled in 3rd within 3Ls of pace. Kept on steadily early in straight before finding no extra inside final 200 M. |
| 9 | 11 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | C Brown | CP | Held up in forward of midfield in 4L 5th or 6th. Making ground when forced to steady 200 M out. Produced late impression in closing stages. Tightened close to line. |
| 10 | 8 | LU YUE (CH278) | C W Wong | H | Ridden along for early pace, gaining half a length advantage outside 2nd. Handed up lead approaching home bend but remained outside leader. Hung out turning in and gave ground gradually. |
| 11 | 13 | JADE DRAGONFLY (CE331) | C K Tong | BO/TT | Blundered jumping out and soon taken back to rear. Remained well behind to straight. Only produced moderate progress down centre of track. |
| 12 | 5 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | P H Lo | -- | Soon taken back from widest barrier to travel wide without cover behind midfield. Remained same throughout. Found nothing in the run home. |
| 13 | 9 | VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) | O Doleuze | -- | Began fairly in midfield. Soon pulled forward to join leader, taking over rounding home bend. Had 1L advantage straightening but gradually weakened under pressure. (Tactic questioned.) |
| 14 | 12 | SWIFT STRIKE (CK090) | K L Chui | CP1/TT1 | Very slowly away losing many lengths. Never recovered and trailed the field throughout. |
