Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | FLYING CHINA (CK266) | H W Lai | PC | Given a waiting ride and placed towards the tail of the field, swung 3-wide for home, quickened up impressively down the outside and was well on top inside 100M. |
| 2 | 6 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | W M Lai | BO | Towards the rear on the inside, shaken up 500M, closed off the race willingly but just found one too good. |
| 3 | 10 | AMEDEO (CK292) | J Lloyd | TT | Disputed lead one off the fence, had every chance turning in but outpaced by the first two inside 100M. |
| 4 | 4 | MASTER TOUCH (L108) | O Doleuze | -- | In midfield 4Ls back, had to be nudged along rounding the home turn, ran on well to go 4th in late stages. |
| 5 | 5 | MY WHISKY (CK071) | K W Leung | TT | Positively ridden, vied for lead on the inside, kept on till weakening in late stages. |
| 6 | 2 | TRULLI (CH327) | C K Tong | B/TT | Stood flat-footed at the start and gave others a big start, rushed along to make up lost ground, 6Ls back in last approaching 400M, finished the race reasonably well considering the early hard run. |
| 7 | 12 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | M L Yeung | PC/TT | Made some use early to hold a position along the fence just behind leaders, not quickened when asked and kept on same pace to the line. (Jockey reported his saddle shifted at the entrance to the straight.) |
| 8 | 11 | GLOBAL WIN (CG109) | G Cheyne | B/TT | Ridden vigorously to the front from a wide barrier, 4-wide on the turn, remained same pace till weakening 200M. |
| 9 | 1 | MAELSTROM (CK370) | B Prebble | CP/TT | Not far off in early stages but under serious pressure to hold his position passing 700M, eased off by jockey entering the home straight, ridden again 200M and made minor late headway. (Unacceptable Performance / Jockey questioned.) |
| 10 | 8 | MASARYK (L120) | C Y Ho | TT | Positioned 3-wide in chasing group, crowded for room approaching 300M, no progress when clear. |
| 11 | 9 | KING OF HEARTS (CK214) | D Whyte | P1/H/XB2 | Chased the pace early, checked 1000M and shuffled back, drive inside 400M but found disappointingly little in the finish, eased in closing stages when beaten. |
| 12 | 3 | GLENEALY STAR (CH284) | C W Wong | TT | Not mustered, dropped in behind midfield, outpaced making the home turn and faltered soon on straightening. |
