Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | AMIGO (CK358) | J Lloyd | -- | Patiently ridden in early stages, 6Ls back in 11th turning for home, switched out 400M and quickened well to seal the race 50M from the line. |
| 2 | 8 | YELLOW DIAMOND (CD246) | Y T Cheng | B | Settled midfield and swung 3-wide for home, picked up well inside 300M but just found one too good. |
| 3 | 14 | NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) | M W Leung | B/TT | Driven to the lead and went a decent gallop, was strongly challenged passing 400M but refused to give in and kept battling away under pressure, headed inside 100M but managed to hold on for 3rd. |
| 4 | 9 | HEARTLINE (CJ330) | Z Purton | B/TT | Always prominent, alongside leader approaching the top of the straight, all out inside 300M and fought on well to the line. |
| 5 | 12 | ROYAL PERICLES (CH050) | W M Lai | B/XB | Broke well from the inside barrier, tracked leaders and used little to straight, produced with every chance final 300M, kept on but lacked extra pace to challenge seriously. |
| 6 | 13 | BULLISH GOLD (CJ291) | M Chadwick | B-/TT | Not hurried after a slow start, settled 2nd last 7Ls behind leaders, responded to a point but turned one-paced in closing stages. (Jockey dropped whip 200M.) |
| 7 | 7 | CRAIG'S DRAGON (CH131) | D Whyte | B | Up with the early pace but dropped back midfield, angled out passing 500M and progressed steadily, momentarily crowded for room near 100M then ran on again in late stages. |
| 8 | 2 | EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) | G Mosse | TT | Soon bagged a rail position and settled 4Ls off the pace in midfield, pushed along 500M out, made steady progress down the inside but ran into traffic 50M from home. |
| 9 | 4 | DYNAMIC BLITZ (CJ339) | B Prebble | XB | Away in line, settled in midfield but never far off leaders, driven inside 450M but ran on only one-paced, weakened final 100 M. |
| 10 | 6 | NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) | M L Yeung | P1 | Dropped back towards the rear but was kept wide throughout, switched widest in straight but could make minor headway only. |
| 11 | 5 | DIM SUM (CH226) | W C Marwing | B | Positioned 2-wide in midfield, held up to 350M but ran on only fairly when clear. |
| 12 | 3 | UNIQUE JEWELLERY (CH196) | K C Leung | -- | First attempt over 1200M. Taken back to last about 8Ls behind leaders, gave limited response 400M out, never factored. |
| 13 | 11 | PRIME CHAMPION (CK128) | C K Tong | TT | Tracked leaders one back, 3-wide over the turn and gradually outpaced approaching 600M, soon behind and was done with before 200 M. |
| 14 | 1 | OUR LUCKY BABY (CH187) | T H So | CP/TT | Unable to cross from draw 10 and caught wide without cover throughout, run ended inside 400M and gave ground rapidly, eased. |
