Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | DUMBARTON ROCK (CJ228) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Soon led from the beginning, given a breather approaching the home turn before quickened up again to establish a significant 2Ls advantage inside 300 M, kept on determinedly and just held off the 2nd on the line. |
| 2 | 9 | ISTIDE (CJ089) | M L Yeung | TT | Broke well from the inside and was always close up on the fence, gradually gathered pace inside 350 M and flashed home late on just failing to reel in the winner. |
| 3 | 1 | MELLIFLUOUS (CH212) | D Whyte | XB2/TT1 | Drawn wide but was able to shift in quickly under positive riding, enjoyed a smooth run in mid-division, squeezed through a gap to challenge inside 250 M and kept grinding away in the finish. |
| 4 | 7 | NILOMETER (CD052) | B Prebble | CP/TT | Always close enough tracking the leaders, couldn't step up a gear when the race heated up, plugged on to finish 4th but was well ahead of the rest. |
| 5 | 8 | HAPPY AMBASSADOR (CH286) | H W Lai | B | Allowed to shift into a rail position in midfield, had an uneventful trip to straight, used little but could only find one pace when it mattered. |
| 6 | 10 | BABY WAVE (CJ144) | Y T Cheng | -- | Lost ground at the start, rushed to a position behind midfield but was checked and shuffled back near 1100 M, had 6Ls to make up inside 400 M but gave very limited response when asked. |
| 7 | 11 | BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) | P H Lo | TT | Away well enough, prominently placed in early stages and gradually moved up vying for the lead, soon under pressure on straightening and weakened. |
| 8 | 6 | JADE DRAGONFLY (CE331) | J Lloyd | BO/TT | Assumed a position towards the rear, awkwardly placed behind a beaten runner turning in, took time to muster and made some headway when the race was all over. |
| 9 | 4 | APPRECIATION (CK161) | D Beadman | B-/V1 | Drawn wide and ended up racing towards the rear 6Ls back, made a wide sweeping move round the outside from 600 M before finding disappointingly little in the finish. |
| 10 | 12 | TOY STORY (CJ217) | W C Marwing | SR | Unable to slot in and was kept wide in midfield throughout the first half, had nothing left in reserves inside 350 M and didn't finish the race off. (Post-race stress noted next day.) |
| 11 | 3 | GOOD GAINS (CJ293) | K C Leung | -- | Slow to begin and raced ungenerously in mid-division, tailed out. (Unacceptable racing manner.) |
| 12 | 5 | HAPPY SEVEN (CK155) | M W Leung | B1 | In the rear from the outset and struggled to keep up passing halfway, eased down early in straight. (Unacceptable performance.) |
