| 1 | 11 | RECORD HIGH (CK202) | A Gryder | -- | Urged to obtain a 2-wide position 3Ls behind the leader, little bit overraced passing 1000 M, responded well when asked for efforts 400 M, took the lead 150 M out, did enough to hold off the challenger. |
| 2 | 7 | THE UNTOUCHABLELAD (CK398) | H W Lai | V- | Out in line, taken to one from rear 8 to 9Ls off the speed, relaxed and travelled well throughout, urged along at straightening and swung widest for home, dashed well under the whip from 200 M to take 2nd. |
| 3 | 8 | TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) | D Beadman | B2 | Standard jump, restrained to a fence position 5Ls off the pace, shifted wide for home, responded well when clear bit late near 200 M out to finish 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | IMPLIED VOLATILITY (CK046) | Y T Cheng | B | Slow into stride, pushed hard and found the fence at 1300 M, two from rear 7Ls behind the leader, responded slowly when asked for efforts from 400 M, clicked into gear 200 M and made up ground strongly, just lost 3rd. |
| 5 | 12 | SUGAR ON TOP (CG274) | G Cheyne | B | Jumped fairly from the outside draw, settled 4Ls off the pace 2-wide with cover, shifted wider for home, looked possible for a place passing 200 M, bit one-paced and missed out. |
| 6 | 6 | ABSOLUTE HEDGE (L032) | D Whyte | TT | Jumped fast from its outside barrier, ended up in one out one back spot, hit the lead passing 400 M, looked possible to score but overhauled at 150 M, soon flattened, lost the place in the last few strides. |
| 7 | 5 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | K C Leung | H/TT | Slow to begin, taken back 6Ls off the pace 2-wide, made ground steadily down centre of the home straight from 300 M but never really threatened placegetters. |
| 8 | 4 | AMITYSHIP (CK023) | A Suborics | B/TT | Box-seated just behind the leader, travelled nicely in early stages, held up early in straight, only one-paced when clear near 150 M. |
| 9 | 1 | BABY WAVE (CJ144) | K L Chui | B/SR | Broke well, prominently sat 2Ls behind the pace, travelled keenly in middle stages, shifted wider at the 600 M to stride forward, contested the lead until run ended passing 200 M. (Lame in left front leg.) |
| 10 | 9 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | B Doyle | -- | Broke well, urged to hold the fence position 3 to 4Ls behind the leader, travelled well throughout, failed to quicken, proved beaten near 200 M. |
| 11 | 2 | LEO'S PRIDE (CK094) | M Chadwick | B | Broker well, mustered fast to lead 1L, challenged near 400 M, weakened sharply passing 250, gave ground. |
| 12 | 3 | STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Slow to begin and muster, sat 11Ls off the pace, never competitive. (Lame in right hind leg.) |
