Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | BATURO (CH029) | K C Leung | -- | Flanked leader out 2-wide in 2nd about 1L until the home straight, picked up to lead about 150 M from the line and did just enough to stay ahead. |
| 2 | 11 | HEADINGLEY (CH264) | D Beadman | B/TT | Better than midfield about 2Ls from the speed down the back, without clear running 300 M out, stayed on well once clear and just missed the win. |
| 3 | 9 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | Y T Cheng | CP-/BO2 | Box-seated 2Ls off pace in 3rd on fence until home straight, given every possible chance to at least figure in quinella but lacked the gears. |
| 4 | 5 | PRIMIATA (CG226) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Set a steady pace in front once leading on fence by 1L at 1300 M, headed about 150 M out and lost out on a place in closing stages. |
| 5 | 2 | KING OF FISH (CB105) | G Mosse | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
| 6 | 12 | NOBLE TWINS (CH257) | M Du Plessis | B | Slow to begin, 4-back on fence about 6Ls off speed in 12th at 1000 M and similar on straightening, recovered some solid late ground, never nearer. |
| 7 | 14 | SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) | M W Leung | TT | Went back from wide gate, 8Ls last at 1200 M, still well behind off last bend, ran on fairly well past beaten rivals late on to be nearest at finish. |
| 8 | 10 | DIAMOND FLYER (CG199) | F Coetzee | TT | Awkward break, raced 3-back along the rails in midfield about 4Ls from speed until home straight, failed to respond to hard riding in last 400 M. |
| 9 | 8 | ALL FOR ONE (CH180) | C W Wong | -- | Niggled along in places when 5Ls back in 9th or 10th down back straight, never likely to improve from a worse than midfield position in the stretch. |
| 10 | 7 | GEM MASTER (CG235) | C K Tong | B/TT | One from rear about 7Ls behind steady pace down back straight, 6Ls last swinging for home, never made much of an impact. (Tactic questioned.) |
| 11 | 13 | FILEBO (CE214) | B Doyle | B | Midfield with cover about 3Ls or 4Ls behind pacesetter right until the home straight, disappointing finish after such a seemingly comfortable run. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
| 12 | 1 | PURE ALPHA (CH008) | D Whyte | CP/XB | Switched inside from wide gate but could only find a 3-wide position with cover in rear, 5Ls down in 10th angling for home but weakened out. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
| 13 | 4 | CELESTIAL WONDER (CG046) | W M Lai | XB/TT | Trapped 4-wide no cover until the final turn in a mostly midfield position about 4Ls from the pace, extra work quickly exacted its toll. |
| 14 | 6 | ARISTOCRACY (CG070) | H W Lai | -- | Always worse than midfield and 4-wide with cover through opening 1000 M, 5-wide (widest) off last curve when struggling, yielded further ground. |
