Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 11 | MI SAVVY (N138) | O Doleuze | SR | Began awkwardly, had an ideal trip just in behind the pacesetters, driven passing 400M, kept on best of all to wear down the leaders nearing 50M. |
| 2 | 4 | BULLISH KING (L304) | T Clark | B/TT | Soon led, crossed to race along stands' rail and set a good pace throughout, pressed on 350M, kept on well, headed 50M out but managed to hold on for 2nd. |
| 3 | 10 | LUCKY RECORD (L429) | A Suborics | XB/B1/TT | Never far off the pace, headway passing 500M, loomed behind leader inside 400M, ran on steadily. |
| 4 | 2 | GIFT IS GIFT (M053) | M L Yeung | B | Prominent, kept on nicely inside 400M to chase leader, slightly outpaced final 100M but finished well clear of the rest. |
| 5 | 14 | NOBODY BUT YOU (M202) | W M Lai | -- | Held up midfield, driven along halfway but never going the pace to challenge first four. |
| 6 | 7 | STRATHTAY (N235) | D Whyte | SR1 | Difficult to load, held up in mid-pack towards the stands' side, one paced throughout and no impression on first four. |
| 7 | 9 | HIGHLAND DRAGON (N265) | U Rispoli | XB1 | Showed good early pace, switched towards the stands' side and tracked leader prominently, travelled well enough but found little off the bridle inside 400M, faded away final 150M. |
| 8 | 1 | FIRST IN COMMAND (L085) | J Lloyd | H/TT | Dropped in behind midfield, outpaced nearing halfway and soon driven along, made limited progress final 300M. |
| 9 | 8 | GLORY HORSIE (M273) | T Angland | B | Close up and always staying within 2Ls of the leader, not quickened when driven passing halfway, weakened inside 200M. |
| 10 | 12 | SAMADHI (N200) | K C Leung | H | Behind midfield, slightly outpaced in middle stages and had to be pushed along to maintain position, never able to challenge. |
| 11 | 3 | LUCKY SCEPTER (N174) | M Du Plessis | -- | Close up early, outpaced in middle stages and fell back to midfield, one-paced passing 400M, faded over final 200M. |
| 12 | 13 | RUMBA KING (M172) | B Prebble | -- | Checked at the start, soon detached from the main group, well behind passing 400M and never involved. (Jockey reported his horse didn't stretch out at any stage.) |
| 13 | 5 | GOLDEN OSMANTHUS (N245) | C K Tong | H | Struggled for pace and soon detached from the main group, not picked up at any stage. |
| 14 | 6 | JUN QI (L162) | C W Wong | B | Driven to be in touch with leaders, outpaced nearing 500M, dropped away rapidly final 300M. |
