| 1 | 11 | TALE OF FRIENDSHIP (CH184) | G Mosse | SR/B2 | 10th about 7Ls from pace out 3-wide with cover at 1000 M, went on out wider from 600 M to lead 200 M out, always holding a margin late. |
| 2 | 8 | LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) | K L Chui | B/TT | 4-back on fence about 6Ls back in 9th at 1000 M, 5Ls behind turning in, ran on well for 2nd despite some late tightening. |
| 3 | 3 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Ridden quietly as usual, 8Ls last at halfway, 6-wide (widest of all) turning for home, dashed home pretty well for a place. |
| 4 | 1 | NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) | H W Lai | CP | Missed start badly, 14Ls adrift 1400 M out, tacked on to be 7Ls back in 13th at halfway, ran on well in home straight and barely missed a place. |
| 5 | 4 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | B Prebble | B | Around midfield 5Ls behind speed through to final bend, made some good late ground despite being tight for room 100 M out, checked close home. |
| 6 | 6 | CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) | D Whyte | B/TT | 3-back on fence about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace until home straight, given every chance to at least place but failed to capitalize. |
| 7 | 9 | GOLD DIGGER (CD101) | W M Lai | CP | Box-seated in 4th at 1000 M on fence, still there swinging for home and with every chance 250 M out, very one-paced thereafter, swamped late. |
| 8 | 13 | ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) | Y T Cheng | SR/TT | Towards rear 8Ls behind early pace, marginally closer entering straight, switched out to challenge 300 M out, never troubled principals. |
| 9 | 7 | GALAXY DANCER (CH179) | C K Tong | H-/B/TT | 2-wide and a neck back in 2nd at 1200 M, led by a neck off the final bend but gathered up by pursuers inside final 200 M. |
| 10 | 12 | TIMBER CITY (CC031) | M W Leung | B | Never better than midfield, 3-wide with cover in 8th about 5Ls from early pace, never managed to get any closer than this. |
| 11 | 2 | LIMONCELLO (CH178) | K T Yeung | B | 3-wide but with cover about 4Ls back in 6th at 1000 M, struggling to remain in touch taking final bend, dropped away. (Lame next day.) |
| 12 | 14 | MAKE A MINT (CH005) | M Du Plessis | -- | 6-wide no cover at first bend and 3-deep facing the breeze when 1L back in 3rd at 1200 M, losing position before the home turn and steadily weakened. |
| 13 | 10 | EXCELLENT PLASTIC (CH263) | C W Wong | TT | Disputed early pace on fence, about 1L clear at halfway, headed at top of home straight and surrendered tamely. |
| 14 | 5 | ARISTOCRACY (CG070) | P H Lo | CP | 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th at 1000 M, hard pressed to retain this proximity 600 M out, back-pedalling when checked 300 M out, poor run. |
