Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | LAMBRO (CH083) | M Nunes | B/TT | Worse than midfield out 3-wide but with cover 7Ls off pace at 1000 M, same margin back when 4-wide swinging for home, finished impressively out wide to lead inside final 50 M. |
| 2 | 6 | PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) | M W Leung | B | Soon led on fence by 1L, set a solid tempo until home straight, grabbed by winner about 50 M out, well clear of 3rd home, creditable run. |
| 3 | 4 | RAIN CHECK (CH254) | D Whyte | -- | In 4th or 5th with cover between 2Ls and 3Ls from the front until home turn, given every hope to figure in the quinella but failed to quicken sufficiently. |
| 4 | 7 | ABLE STANDARD (CG043) | Z Purton | B/TT | Held box-seat position on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 800 M, going well when 1L back in 2nd at top of straight, didn't find much under pressure and missed a place final 50 M. |
| 5 | 8 | GOOD VIEW SUCCESS (CE237) | G Mosse | TT | Midfield with cover about 4Ls off speed at midfield, lost position on the circle and 6Ls down in 8th off final turn, made only minor late ground out-wide. |
| 6 | 13 | VITAL PATROL (CC335) | Y T Cheng | -- | Switched from widest gate to fence to settle 8Ls last at 900 M, tight for room at 600 M and still a fair way back off home bend, retrieved some late ground, checked final strides. |
| 7 | 9 | TRIUMPHANT GLORY (CB368) | W M Lai | B | Always very wide without cover, 5-wide no cover early, 4-wide no cover when 3Ls back in 5th or so at 800 M, under pressure when 5Ls down into straight, tired close home. |
| 8 | 1 | BUCCANEER (CH214) | K T Yeung | -- | Prominent within 2Ls of the speed but 2 and 3-wide without cover down back straight, 3Ls down in 3rd turning for home, faded out one-paced. |
| 9 | 11 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | B Prebble | B1 | Always towards rear, 6Ls off pace in 11th with cover at halfway, further back on straightening, never dangerous. |
| 10 | 5 | ONE TOUCH (CH199) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Over-raced with head up early on, prominent about 3Ls off pace at halfway but hard pressed to maintain this proximity at final turn, fizzled out. |
| 11 | 14 | TOUCH DOWN (CB013) | P H Lo | B | Ridden along to race 6Ls back in 10th on fence at the 800 M, losing further ground making home turn, no impression. |
| 12 | 12 | AURELIAN (CC025) | H W Lai | CP | Slowest away, towards rear and 7Ls behind leader at halfway, never on terms in the home straight. |
| 13 | 10 | CHINESE BOY BOY (CH157) | O Doleuze | -- | Slowly away, 4Ls back in midfield along the inner at the 800 M, struggling to lie up making final bend, very weak finish. |
| 14 | 3 | KENOBE (CH222) | F Coetzee | XB | Never a factor, 7Ls off pace one from rear at the 800 M, tracking winner when 8Ls down on straightening, lacked any kind of acceleration. |
