Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | EXCEL ONESELF (P287) | K Teetan | H | Soon led, had uncontested lead, rallied on strongly when joined by rival 150M, dug in gamely late stages to prevail. |
| 2 | 6 | TURF SPRINT (T396) | N Rawiller | H | Travelled strongly behind leaders, lodged a bid inside the winner 200M, drew alongside final stages and was just denied in a close finish. |
| 3 | 2 | GENERAL IRON (P429) | K C Leung | CP/TT | Settled down 2-wide in midfield 4Ls off the pace, gathered momentum passing 250M and closed off willingly late, nearest finish. |
| 4 | 3 | RIGHTEOUS (S128) | Z Purton | B | Positively ridden and gained a forward spot just off the pace, chased winner from 300M but always held, inclined to lay in late stages. |
| 5 | 8 | TRAVEL FIRST (T098) | N Callan | B/TT | Held up near the rear 5Ls behind leader, made some progress past 250M, altered course 150M and stayed on mildly down outside. |
| 6 | 1 | BRILLIANT DREAM (S203) | J Moreira | B/H | Not hurried early stages, dropped back to the rear group 7Ls off leader, took a while to pick up in straight, did best work past 150M. |
| 7 | 10 | TOO FAST (S308) | B Prebble | B1/TT | Soon hugged the rail and raced in mid-division, 4Ls to make up leaving 400M, made a mild bid entering straight but evened out late in the drive. |
| 8 | 5 | HELLA HEDGE (P355) | C Y Ho | B | Urged along soon after jumping from 12, obtained a 2-wide spot in the group chasing leaders, pursued to 150M then found no extra late. |
| 9 | 9 | FANTASTIC FEELING (T273) | R Moore | H | Restrained to race towards the rear 5Ls off leader, found less than expected when driven out 300M, never a threat to leaders. (Jockey : horse not suited by the way the track was racing) |
| 10 | 7 | RAINBOW FIGHTER (N193) | D Whyte | XB/TT | Eased back to the rear from wide barrier, proved very difficult to settle down the back straight, 3-wide turning for home and not picked up to challenge. |
| 11 | 11 | SUPER FORM (T232) | C Schofield | -- | Began only fairly, unhurried and settled as the back-marker, 7Ls behind leader leaving 400M, didn't respond to riding and soon weakened. |
| 12 | 4 | FULL TALENT (P446) | C K Tong | CP/TT | Began only fairly from 11, caught wide no cover throughout, moved closer to midfield before the turn, had little left and gave ground early straight. (lost LF plate at start) |
