Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | TURIN PEARL (P267) | H T Mo | -- | Positively ridden to take the lead from 1350M, ensured a good pace up front, kept on well turning in under light weight and a 7 lb. claim, showed no signs of weakening leading all the way home. |
| 2 | 6 | WHITE MAGIC (V111) | D Whyte | H/P/TT | Restrained to race in mid-division, 3Ls off the leader and eventual winner at 400M, tried hard to the line but couldn't run down leader. |
| 3 | 5 | APOLLO'S CHOICE (S312) | M F Poon | -- | Chased the pace 2-wide, well poised to strike turning in, lacked winning dash and couldn't get closer to leader, kept on evenly for 3rd. |
| 4 | 9 | GRAND HARBOUR (P421) | K Teetan | B/H/TT | Prominently ridden from the start, sat outside leader 1300M, kept up the chase until passing 150M, faded over final stages and lost 3rd near the line. |
| 5 | 8 | GOLDEN SUN (V187) | C Schofield | TT | Began only fairly, quietly ridden in a position behind midfield, 5Ls off the pace at 600M, took time to get going despite ridden along 500M out, pinched some ground late. |
| 6 | 2 | MAGICAL BEAUTY (T342) | Z Purton | B/TT | Settled down behind midfield 5-6Ls off leader, stayed on only mildly final 400M, no impression on leaders. |
| 7 | 1 | GONNA RUN (T094) | C Y Ho | TT | Held up towards the rear, 7Ls off the pace making the turn for home, ran past beaten horses only, no threat. |
| 8 | 11 | ENORMOUS HONOUR (T236) | K C Ng | B-/P2 | Taken back from wide barrier, given a waiting ride at the rear, 7Ls to make up 400M, raced tight and was steadied inside 300M, didn't find much when clear. |
| 9 | 4 | WHO DAT SINGA (A003) | M L Yeung | H | Driven along from draw 1, settled just off the pace, came under pressure 500M out, dropped away tamely from 300M. |
| 10 | 10 | UNICRON JEWELLERY (V333) | J Moreira | -- | Taken back from wide barrier, near the rear first half then made 3-wide move passing 800M, run ended 250M and nothing left in tank. (Jockey : his mount may not have handled the AWT at its first time of asking.) |
| 11 | 7 | MARQULA (V423) | O Doleuze | P-/TT | Unable to slot in from wide barrier, caught wide no cover throughout in midfield, gave ground passing 550M and well beaten top of straight, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
