Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 11 | NORDIC STAR (CH302) | D Whyte | TT | In a midfield position 5Ls back, had a relaxed run throughout before moving closer approaching home turn, came with a strong challenge to lead 150 M out and kept on well to hold off the persistent runner up. |
| 2 | 1 | MASTER GUNNER (CJ142) | D Beadman | XB1 | Given a patient ride, rolled along the rail in a position slightly behind midfield, switched to 2-wide making the home turn, held up shortly in straight before shifting out to clear, ran on well but the winner found enough to hold on. |
| 3 | 9 | SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) | B Prebble | -- | Bounced out of the gates and soon had the advantage of the rail, tracked leader 1 back in early stages but was shuffled back approaching home turn, finished off nicely down the inside but was firmly put aside by the first two. |
| 4 | 12 | MINGS' HERO (CJ011) | C W Wong | SR | Pressed forward soon after jumping, unable to cross and was caught wide without cover throughout the trip, close enough on turning, appeared to be struggling inside 400 M but kept on OK to the line. (Questioned.) |
| 5 | 8 | MAINLAND SHUTTLE (CG315) | G Mosse | TT | Jumped well, settled in a position better than midfield 3Ls off the pace, crept closer approaching the Rock, made even progress in the straight but never troubled the first three. |
| 6 | 6 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | M Du Plessis | -- | Slow to begin, travelled in a rearward position 6Ls off the pace, bumped near 700 M and raced 3-wide on the home turn, made some headway down the outside last 300 M but was overall not threatening. |
| 7 | 5 | ADD THE FUN (CD308) | Z Purton | B | Even break, switched off to race in the rear trailing leader 8Ls, used little in running, had plenty to do turning in, ran on ok inside final 200 M. |
| 8 | 3 | ELFHELM (CC342) | J Winks | B | Restrained to a rearward position on jumping, settled last but one about 8Ls off the pace, saved ground along the fence, couldn't find the extra gear under pressure, ran on only fairly. |
| 9 | 7 | JUGGERNAUT (CJ019) | J Victoire | B/TT | Used up early to attain a handy early position from his wide draw, led from 1000 M under a steady tempo, became over-raced when jockey steadied the pace near 800 M, headed near 200 M and weakened rapidly thereafter. |
| 10 | 4 | WONDERFUL BLESSING (CE198) | O Doleuze | CP/TT | Quickly into stride, soon crossed to the rail and raced in a midfield position 4Ls back, couldn't pick up under pressure, got tired inside 150 M. |
| 11 | 10 | HOLIDAY SUN (CJ328) | Y T Cheng | -- | Went forward early and raced prominently behind leaders, moved up alongside leader when tempo slowed down near 800 M, found little when required, checked near 200 M before dropping out of the race. |
| 12 | 2 | RICH DRAGON (CG079) | C K Tong | V | Had to overcome a wide draw to lead on the rail, had cover from 800 M when another runner crossed in to lead, shaken up approaching home straight, run ended at 200 M when early hard run took toll. |
