Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Travelled smoothly just off the pace and looked a strong chance going into the straight, picked up well and swept to the front near 100 M and always had enough to repel the persistent 2nd. |
| 2 | 10 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | D Beadman | SR/CP/TT | Broke well from the inside draw and placed prominently behind leaders, came through inside 150 M to dispute it with the eventual winner but was held in the closing stages. |
| 3 | 6 | PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) | K C Leung | -- | Fastest away and led them steadily on the fence, kicked 2Ls clear inside 300 M, kept on but was eventually headed 100 M from home. |
| 4 | 4 | SINGLE MALT (CK110) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Standard jump, slotted into a 2-wide position in midfield, gradually picked up on straightening and made up some late ground without being able to threaten the first three. |
| 5 | 11 | TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Quickly recovered from a slow start, settled in midfield along the fence, had his chance against the inside rail but found no extra close home. |
| 6 | 12 | MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) | M W Leung | SR/B2 | Niggled along in the first half to hold a position behind midfield on the rail, took a while to get going in straight and closed off the race fairly. |
| 7 | 5 | FAST WINNER (CG140) | D Whyte | BO | Didn't go forward possibly due to the wide draw and was trapped 3-deep without cover behind midfield, did make up some ground from off the pace but was never likely. |
| 8 | 1 | SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) | B Prebble | H/TT | Quietly ridden in early stages and settled in a 2-wide backward position 6Ls off the pace, made his move out wide than most in straight but picked up only fairly. |
| 9 | 9 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | Y T Cheng | SR/V | Taken back on jumping from the wide barrier, crossed to race towards the rear of the field, had 7Ls to make up inside 400 M but could only make limited headway along the inside. (Jockey and Trainer questioned.) |
| 10 | 2 | CHAIN WIN (CJ315) | Z Purton | H | Hard ridden forward to race outside the lead, under pressure approaching home straight and was soon on the retreat passing 300 M. (Jockey questioned.) |
| 11 | 3 | FOREVER SUPPORT (CK024) | H W Lai | B/TT | Ridden to hold a position behind midfield after a sluggish start, found very little under pressure and never looked like getting involved. |
| 12 | 8 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | B Doyle | B | Failed to muster speed and struggled to stay in touch from midway, beaten early in straight. No impression. |
