| 1 | 14 | HAPPY HEROES (CD261) | A Delpech | B | Patiently handled in 11th place about 7Ls off speed through first half, about 4Ls down in 10th taking final corner, picked up nicely out wide to lead 150 M out, stayed on well. |
| 2 | 6 | SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) | Y T Cheng | B | Mostly 5th about 3Ls off pace through to home turn, held up for a run until about 300 M out, stayed on well enough for 2nd but never likely to keep up with winner. |
| 3 | 2 | HAPPY CONTENDER (CC152) | M W Leung | TT | One from rear about 8Ls off pace at 1400 M, wider and about 5Ls from front taking home turn, every chance when 1L down in 5th or so out wide at 200 M, no extra late. |
| 3 | 11 | NATURAL ECHO (CB326) | D Whyte | B | Well placed 3-back on fence in midfield about 3Ls from the lead until home straight, 2Ls down and with place prospects when unbalanced at 200 M, kept on at same tempo. |
| 5 | 12 | NOBLE BOSS (CD360) | F Coetzee | -- | Disputed early lead, eased into box seat position on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 1200 M to home turn, every chance when vying for the lead at 200 M, couldn't follow through. |
| 6 | 1 | CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) | K L Chui | B/H | Stumbled at start, 2-wide and a neck down in 2nd at 1400 M, 1L down in 3rd at 800 M, 3-wide when over 1L down in 3rd at home bend, finished off only evenly. |
| 7 | 4 | SILVER MARK (CE226) | B Prebble | V/TT | Slow to begin, always on and off the bridle in midfield about 4Ls behind leader until home turn, swished tail repeatedly when finishing off at the one pace. |
| 8 | 8 | POSA (CE337) | C Munce | SR/H | 4-back on fence from 1200 M and about 5Ls off speed in 10th or so, similarly placed taking home bend, making some fair late ground when checked at 200 M, one-paced thereafter. |
| 9 | 9 | SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) | H W Lai | -- | Dropped out in 12th or 13th between 5Ls and 8Ls off speed until final bend when hard pressed to improve, plugged on only fairly down centre of track. |
| 10 | 10 | SUPER DANA (CC293) | D Dunn | B | Disputed early lead, always in front or a head back in 2nd until straightening, all out when headed by winner 150 M out and slowed inside final stages. |
| 11 | 3 | EVER KING (CE147) | E Saint-Martin | B-/V1/TT | In midfield with cover about 4Ls off the speed until the home straight, very flat in the finish. |
| 12 | 7 | TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) | W C Marwing | B/TT | 3-wide with cover in midfield or slightly worse and about 4Ls off speed until home turn when 4-wide, always held by principals and weakened further inside final 200 M. |
| 13 | 13 | FORTUNE GOLD (CD343) | G Schofield | -- | Always caught very wide from early stages, pressed on from midfield to dispute lead at 1000 M, a neck down in 2nd and 2-wide taking home turn, gave ground from 300 M out. |
| 14 | 5 | VINCERE (CE324) | C W Wong | B | Fractious in gates and switched to rail from widest gate, always in last place and never better than 7Ls from the front at any stage. |
