| 1 | 4 | UPGRADING (CK367) | D Whyte | -- | In midfield about 4Ls behind leaders, came with a well-timed challenge inside 400M, made rapid headway to lead 150M out, kept on well once in front and held off the fast finishing 2nd and 3rd. |
| 2 | 11 | JOYFUL WINNER II (M094) | D Beadman | TT | Positioned behind midfield about 6Ls off the pace, raced in the 2-path following the eventual winner, didn’t pick up as quickly as the winner but stayed on very strongly towards the line. Good effort. |
| 3 | 5 | LUNAR REFLECTIONS (L009) | H W Lai | -- | Behind midfield 6Ls back in first half, moved closer approaching the home turn, responded well inside 300M and finished off the race willingly. |
| 4 | 1 | SLEEP WELL (CK036) | M Guyon | XB/TT | Never far off in 4th, came with a strong challenge inside 300M, kept on effort to the line but was outpaced by the top 3 over the final 100M. |
| 5 | 2 | OCEAN PRINCE (CK066) | Z Purton | -- | Caught 3-wide no cover making the 1st turn, strode forward after 1200M to join leaders, looked a threat early straight but flattened passing 150M. |
| 6 | 9 | KICK SERVE (L385) | O Doleuze | H | Always in touch with leaders but didn’t quicken when urged nearing 300M, weakened final 100M. |
| 7 | 8 | GREAT GUY (CH112) | M Chadwick | TT | Track leader early, took over nearing 1000M, was strongly challenged once into straight, briefly resisted, headed 150M out and weakened away. |
| 8 | 7 | BEST FRIEND (CH240) | T H So | -- | Switched off to last 10Ls off the pace, had plenty to do turning in and not in the clear until 300M, made limited progress. |
| 9 | 12 | DALKAN (M129) | K C Leung | SR1 | Taken across behind runners, settled near last over 8Ls away, made no headway in straight and hung out under pressure. No impression. |
| 10 | 10 | DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) | M L Yeung | H | Took up early running, relinquished lead near 1000M and sat back in 3rd, outpaced passing 200M, no extra late stages. |
| 11 | 3 | SUNSEEKER (L161) | C K Tong | B-/H-/TT | Positioned 2-wide towards the rear, under pressure inside 500M and didn’t respond, left behind 200M out. |
| 12 | 6 | IRISH PEARL (L387) | G Cheyne | H1 | Near the rear throughout, didn’t pick up when asked inside 350M, never a factor. |
