Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | GENTLE BREEZE (B343) | M Chadwick | B | Never far off from leaders, on straightening quickened up well under top weight to lead 150M, soon clear and won impressively. |
| 2 | 8 | VICTORIAM (C186) | B Shinn | -- | Taken back to near the rear, 6Ls to make up top of straight, closed off best to take 2nd near line but no chance with easy winner. |
| 3 | 7 | HARMONY AND RICH (D110) | Z Purton | H1 | Hampered at the start, shifted across behind runners, 9th at 400M, stayed on well for 3rd without troubling the runaway winner. |
| 4 | 12 | BEAUT BEAUT (A315) | A Badel | H/V | In touch behind leaders, produced with every chance in the straight, held ground final 150M. |
| 5 | 6 | FRUSTRATED (C218) | M F Poon | B | Pressed forward and vied for lead on inside, led them from top of straight, headed 150M, weakened late and lost several places close home. |
| 6 | 11 | WINNING METHOD (C383) | K Teetan | B/TT | Driven forward and vied for lead on outside, fought on early straight but run ended 150M, faded towards the line. |
| 7 | 9 | CALIFORNIA LEVEE (C523) | C Y Ho | CP/TT | Began awkwardly from draw 1, towards the rear 6Ls off the pace, stayed on mildly in straight but no threat to leaders. |
| 8 | 4 | SPECIAL STARS (C010) | J Moreira | -- | Settled behind midfield along the fence, found disappointingly little when asked passing 300M, never dangerous. (Jockey : travelled satisfactorily in middle stages but finished off the race only one-paced.) |
| 9 | 3 | THE WEATHERMAN (D058) | L Hewitson | -- | Jumped on terms, held up midfield 3-4Ls back, kept on same pace final 300M, not reached leaders. |
| 10 | 10 | UTOPIA LIFE (C166) | S De Sousa | B | Positively ridden out the gate, tracked leaders on settling but wide no cover throughout, outpaced 300M, soon no threat. |
| 11 | 2 | KASI FARASI (B385) | H W Lai | H/TT | From draw 12 caught wide no cover in midfield, wide into straight, didn't respond to riding, soon out of contention. |
| 12 | 5 | DRAGON PIONEER (A381) | C Schofield | B | Checked on jumping, always in rear, 7-8Ls to make up 400M, made no progress. |
