Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | HUSSLER (CJ323) | O Doleuze | B | 2-wide and no more than 1L back in 2nd until the home turn, half a length behind GOOD STRIKE 300 M out, got back on top of that rival inside final 50 M. |
| 2 | 2 | GOOD STRIKE (CJ351) | Z Purton | -- | 3Ls back in midfield with cover at the 800 M, eased to the front 300 M and looked the winner, didn't find much more and headed by HUSSLER final 50 M. |
| 3 | 3 | HOT PEPPER (CJ236) | W C Marwing | B | Enjoyed 'one-out-one-back' spot in 4th about 2Ls back until final bend, 5th at the 200 M but stayed on well enough for 3rd without troubling front pair. |
| 4 | 5 | BROTHERHOOD (CJ259) | M Chadwick | TT1 | Got loose before start, box-seated in 3rd just over 1L behind leader until home turn, held up until the 200 M when 4th, not a bad debut all considered. |
| 5 | 10 | FAIRWOOD CROWN (CK040) | B Doyle | SR | Slowly away, 4-back the fence along the back, 6Ls back at halfway and 4Ls off at top of home straight, always held from the top four bracket. |
| 6 | 9 | ROYAL DOMAIN (CH287) | W M Lai | -- | Went back from widest gate, 8Ls last at the 800 M, 5Ls back in 9th turning for home, one-paced. |
| 7 | 11 | KEEP GOING (CJ244) | C K Tong | SR | 3-back the fence 3Ls off the speed leaving back straight, pressured to retain this proximity entering home straight, petered out. |
| 8 | 12 | HAPPY ELITE (CD306) | M L Yeung | TT | 4Ls back in 7th out 3-wide no cover at the 800 M, closer but ridden along turning for home, very one-paced in the home straight. |
| 9 | 1 | MY WHISKY (CK071) | B Prebble | -- | Led by 1L at the 800 M, maintained a break before being headed soon after straightening, dropped out rapidly, later found breathing abnormally. (Questioned.) |
| 10 | 8 | GLITTERING (CJ343) | M Du Plessis | -- | Got loose before start, raced ungenerously while hanging out through first half around midfield, offered little in the home straight. |
| 11 | 7 | SPEEDY TYCOON (CK107) | Y T Cheng | H/TT | Flipped over in paddock and very wound up before the start, always rearward at least 5Ls or 6Ls from the pace. |
| 12 | 6 | KING WINS (CK152) | H W Lai | -- | In last or one from rear throughout while at least 8Ls from the pace. |
