| 2 | 10 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | J Lloyd | TT | Began moderately, settled in last few on rails, took closer order around the bend, fought on steadily to just fail to get up on line. |
| 3 | 11 | WIN A DOZEN (CH262) | H W Lai | TT | Niggled at early, settled one-out-one-back in joint 3rd, kept on steadily in straight without quickening. |

| 5 | 12 | EL ZONDA (CK132) | K L Chui | TT | Began only fairly, settled in forward of midfield on rails, hung in badly and a difficult ride in straight checking off heels about 150 M out, but kept on strongly to finish. |
| 6 | 1 | MACHO EXPRESSO (CH261) | K T Yeung | B- | Began with others, raced wide in midfield to straight, ran on down centre of track, however, not able to be ridden out behind runners closing stages. |
| 7 | 2 | PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) | W C Marwing | -- | Began from the widest barrier, raced wide without cover behind midfield down far side, similar position turning in, made good impression down straight, did best work late. |

| 9 | 6 | LUCKY WINNER (CE124) | C K Tong | TT | Began fairly, ridden along for pace before settling one back on rails, ran out of room inside final 200 M, not fully tested. |
| 10 | 7 | MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) | M W Leung | CP | Soon found himself well behind, no closer turning into straight, made significant progress down centre of track, never nearer. |
| 11 | 8 | ZEZAO (CK180) | Y T Cheng | SR/XB | Slow out, making headway when badly checked 600 M out dropping to last, made no recovery in straight. |
