Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | BUDDIES SPIRIT (CD042) | C Munce | -- | Always prominent out wide and kept within 2Ls or so off the lead. Widest turning in. Kicked home strongly 200 M out and took control inside 100 M. |
| 2 | 1 | SURE JOY (CE299) | C W Wong | B/TT | Slow into stride after jumping but managed to improve to be 2Ls or so off the speed from 800 M. Ran on final 200 M but no match for the winner inside 100 M. |
| 3 | 12 | MILLION CHASE (CD132) | W M Lai | CP/H | At the rear of the main bunch about 4Ls off the lead. Awkward and unbalanced rounding the turn. Kept finding final 200 M to just miss 2nd when closest at finish. |
| 4 | 11 | RACING SPIRIT (CE105) | H W Lai | B/TT | Soon 3Ls or so behind the pace despite being ridden along. Steadied and shifted out for running near 200 M and then made up good late ground to be nearest at finish. |
| 5 | 4 | CHAMP DE UNION (CB001) | K L Chui | B/TT | Moved up gradually to take lead from 700 M. Swamped by principals when effort not sustained inside 100 M. |
| 6 | 5 | GOLDEN FARM (CA069) | E Saint-Martin | B- | Led to 700 M. Stayed within 1L of the leader to 400 M. Wide turning in. Kept on in straight without looking dangerous. |
| 7 | 3 | GRASS HOPPER (CD050) | D Dunn | B/TT | In touch just 2Ls off the pace. 4Ls down after checking at 600 M. Took closer order along rail turning in. Steadied and shifted out for run near 250 M. One-paced thereafter. |
| 8 | 6 | AS YOU WISH (CE290) | H K Yim | -- | Hampered at start. Well detached at rear about 8Ls down at 800 M. Ran past well beaten runners in straight. |
| 9 | 2 | FUNTRAP (CE243) | D Whyte | B | Prominent 3rd just 1L or so behind the pace. 2nd turning in. Weakened badly final 200 M. |
| 10 | 8 | EVEREST (CC196) | F Coetzee | B2 | Behind midfield in the main bunch about 3Ls off the speed. Dropped to the rear some 5Ls back after checking at 600 M. Found nothing in straight. (Restricted action next day.) |
| 11 | 9 | DANCING FAITH (CE297) | Y T Cheng | -- | Soon dropped towards rear from wide draw. 4Ls back and wide rounding the turn. Never looked likely. |
| 12 | 7 | TRIO'S PET (CE176) | M W Leung | -- | Soon last and got well detached from main field. Never in the race. |
