Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | ALGARVE (CK239) | B Prebble | -- | Away in line. Eased to sit 3-wide at rear passing 1400 M. Came widest and was 7Ls down turning in. Dashed strongly in the straight and took charge from 200 M. Easy win. |
| 2 | 7 | BRAVE SPIRIT (CJ258) | M Chadwick | CP/TT | Moderate jump. Urged early and occupied a prominent spot 1100 M out. Took a split between runners in the straight. Easily passed by the eventual winner at 200 M but hung on to repel challenge from 3rd. |
| 3 | 14 | LIVERBIRD (CE055) | M Du Plessis | B | 2-wide at rear back straight. Ridden from 600 M. Shifted widest and was 9Ls back turning for home. Covered substantial ground in the straight and was just denied to figure in the quinella at the post. |
| 4 | 10 | FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) | K T Yeung | XB-/SR2/TT | 2-wide at midfield back straight. Took closer order passing 700 M. 3-wide 3Ls away on straightening. Held ground only in the straight. |
| 5 | 13 | DECAGONAL (CH244) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Raced 3-wide without cover and 2Ls behind the leader early stages. Slotted into 'one-out-one-back' making the home turn. Couldn't turn up a notch in the straight. |
| 6 | 1 | O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) | Z Purton | TT | Travelled nicely and was never far off the pace through to the home straight. Couldn't find extra gear when the race got serious after 250 M. |
| 7 | 2 | OASIS DAVIS (CK138) | B Doyle | SR | 2-wide behind midfield. Slipped towards rear on straightening. Made up minor ground down the centre of the track thereafter. |
| 8 | 3 | MY WHISKY (CK071) | K C Leung | -- | Quickly into stride and led easily on fence. Still in front in the straight but was swamped inside 250 M. |
| 9 | 12 | SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) | A Gryder | P- | Always behind midfield. Found nothing under pressure in the straight. |
| 10 | 9 | FABULOUS START (CK151) | W Pike | -- | Well enough away. Sat better than midfield on fence. Urged from 600 M but couldn't pick up. |
| 11 | 8 | TOUCH LUCKY (CH193) | D Whyte | B/XB/TT | 3-wide behind midfield through to the home turn. No impression thereafter. |
| 12 | 6 | MAGIC J (CK112) | S K Sit | B/H | Bumped after start and became badly unbalanced. At rear on fence thereafter and was never a factor. |
| 13 | 11 | GOLDEN BOY (CJ263) | T H So | B | 3-wide better than midfield through to the home turn. Was a beaten horse soon after straightening. |
| 14 | 4 | LUCKY MONEY (CE159) | Y T Cheng | -- | Away with them but dropped out and became detached after midpoint. Finished tailed-out. |
