Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 11 | ISLAND SUNRISE (CE276) | K L Chui | CP-/XB-/TT2 | Never too far away, about 4Ls back in 5th from 800 M to home turn, cruised to the front 250 M out, pulled well clear, easily. |
| 2 | 9 | AS YOU WISH (CE290) | S Dye | V/TT | 8Ls last at the 1200 M, 6Ls down in 10th turning for home, ran on quite well for 2nd but had no chance with the winner. |
| 3 | 7 | DIAMOND FLYER (CG199) | G Boss | TT | With cover around midfield about 6Ls off pace early on and marginally closer when 4-wide turning for home, kept on at same pace for a place. |
| 4 | 2 | CRUSH ON YOU (CH065) | B Prebble | B1 | No early speed, towards rear about 7Ls from the speed until home turn, made some minor late ground past beaten rivals for 4th. |
| 5 | 12 | MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) | Z Purton | XB/TT | Midfield or better throughout, caught 3-wide no cover when 4Ls back in 5th at halfway, 2Ls down in 3rd at home bend and 200 M, very tired close home. |
| 6 | 10 | GLOBAL WAY (CG158) | D Whyte | B/TT | In front rank about 2Ls back in 3rd or 4th until home bend, given every chance but weak in the finish along the rail. |
| 7 | 5 | GLOBE RIVER (CD228) | C K Tong | V/TT | On fence in midfield between 4Ls and 6Ls from the front through to final turn, made no impression. |
| 8 | 6 | DRAGON INN (CE327) | G Mosse | V | Slowest to break, around midfield about 5Ls or 6Ls back until home turn, never threatened and eased late. |
| 9 | 3 | CARRY THE MAGIC (CE069) | K Shea | B- | 2Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, left 3-wide no cover on the circle, 4Ls down turning for home, weakened rapidly final 200 M. |
| 10 | 4 | FAST WINNER (CG140) | F Coetzee | H | Always worse than midfield at least 7Ls from the pace, never on terms. |
| 11 | 14 | KING PALM (CC118) | H W Lai | B | One from rear about 7Ls behind early tempo, 6-wide (widest of all) swinging for home, posed no threat whatsoever. |
| 12 | 1 | CHARMING MONKEYS (CH148) | Y T Cheng | B-/TT1 | Got well back and no better than 6Ls from the front through to final turn, never competitive. |
| 13 | 13 | UNIVERSAL PIONEER (CB293) | C W Wong | TT | Set the early pace on fence, clear by about half a length from 800 M to final turn, dropped away tamely once headed 400 M out. |
| 14 | 8 | FILEBO (CE214) | M W Leung | -- | Over-racing when 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd early on, still a close 2nd at top of home straight, gone by the 300 M. (Distressed.) |
