| 1 | 6 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | K C Leung | SR/V | Quickly into stride, pressed on to a prominent position on the rail one back, had the leader covered coming into straight, hit front 150 M, battled on to deny 2nd horse on the line. |
| 2 | 10 | CLASSIC HORSE (CD378) | B Doyle | CP | Standard jump, travelled in midfield 3-deep, 4Ls behind on turning, brought with a challenge 400 M out, ran home strongly but commenced to hang in entering 250 M. Just failed by a diminishing neck. |
| 3 | 14 | FAST WINNER (CG140) | Y T Cheng | B | Average start, ridden forward to take up running 900 M out, led field under a steady pace, kept on effort in straight, headed near 150 M, rallied but found no extra in final stages. |
| 4 | 11 | TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) | B Prebble | B/TT | Began with rest, settled in midfield 3 to 4Ls off the pace, well covered and used little in running, shifted wide in straight for a clear run, steadied near 200 M, ran on well over the concluding stages. |
| 5 | 9 | MOUNT SURPLUS (CH122) | Z Purton | -- | Quickly taken to the fence on jumping, travelled in 5th running a shade too keen, made some progress in straight but failed to deliver a threatening run. |
| 6 | 4 | GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) | C W Wong | -- | Away in line, drifted back to a position behind midfield 5Ls from leader, wide and covered extra ground, fought on steadily in straight making some late impression. |
| 7 | 13 | TOP SPEED (CH019) | H W Lai | B | Awkwardly away and lost ground, moved closer to settle in behind midfield, switched wide in search of daylight in straight, steadied near 250 M, kept on one-paced thereafter. |
| 8 | 1 | LUCKY WORLD (CJ053) | D Whyte | -- | One of the first to jump, drifted back to hold a position better than midfield, close enough turning in, peeled out to challenge from 350 M, ran home one-paced, weakened inside 100 M. (Bled.) |
| 9 | 3 | FASTER FASTER (CG010) | F Coetzee | -- | Slow into stride, settled towards rear 6Ls off the leader, taken wide entering home straight, had every chance but failed to pick up, stayed on same pace to line. |
| 10 | 8 | PALIO KING (CG073) | G Mosse | -- | Broke well, eased back to a rearward position on the rail, saved ground on turning, picked up OK in straight but was steadied near 150 M, not fully tested. |
| 11 | 12 | ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) | K L Chui | -- | Standard break, parked 3-wide in mid-division, inclined to hang making the turn, found little under pressure and faded inside 100 M. |
| 12 | 5 | MONTY (CH164) | O Doleuze | B | Taken back on jumping, patiently settled in the rear 7 to 8Ls behind, brought to outside of track for a run, struggled to pick up and could beat tired runners only. |
| 13 | 2 | WINNING AHEAD (CJ018) | D Beadman | B/TT | Average jump, hard ridden forward from the outside draw, travelled prominently in 2nd as they turned, made no progress in straight and plugged on from 250 M out. No impression. |
| 14 | 7 | WHAT A THRILL (CJ086) | M Du Plessis | P-/B2 | Began well enough, taken a midfield spot along the fence, raced ungenerously in middle stages, kept to inside on straightening, dropped off rapidly inside 200 M. |
