| 1 | 2 | FORTUNE WINNER (CK315) | Z Purton | B/TT1 | Parked in midfield, 2 wide with cover. Rallied 4 deep on the home turn and swept to the front near the furlong and hit the line strongly. |
| 2 | 10 | MOUNT VICTORY (L033) | G Cheyne | B-/XB1 | Landed in 2nd last position, 1 off with cover. Came with a strong run down the outside of the field. |
| 3 | 9 | FELAROF (M175) | M Chadwick | TT | Camped 1 out 1 back. Stayed on reasonably well after having every chance. |
| 4 | 3 | SOLAR BOY (L213) | T H So | B2 | Speared forward from an outside alley and took up leading duties on the rails. Kicked a length clear near the 350m, faded over the final stages. |
| 5 | 4 | GILDED FLIGHT (CH294) | Y T Cheng | CP | Taken back from a wide gate to settle with the backmakers along the fence. Was taken out into a 3 wide position with cover after the 1100m. Swung widest on the home turn, made some ground late. |
| 6 | 7 | JUGGERNAUT (CJ019) | K C Leung | B/XB | Settled 3 back the fence with cover. Battled away in the run home staying on one paced. |
| 7 | 5 | VANQUISH DELIGHT (CJ257) | C K Tong | -- | Settled near the rear of the field after being severely checked near the 1300m. Got pulling near the 1000m, travelling 3 wide without cover. Never likely. |
| 8 | 12 | TREASURE GLITTER (M031) | K C Ng | B1 | Hampered at the start then ridden along, copping a check near the 1300m, settling behind midfield the paint. Never let down at the business end. |
| 9 | 8 | MUSTANG (CK351) | B Prebble | H/P | Rated behind midfield 1 off with cover. Came under heavy pressure passing the 500m, but failed to keep in touch and only plodded to the line. |
| 10 | 1 | HIGH COMMAND (L390) | B Doyle | TT | Cruised across to race outside the leader in 2nd position. Found nothing when asked for an effort turning for home. |
| 11 | 6 | WINNING PAL (CJ138) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Slow to begin then was crowded soon after the start, settling last along the fence. Failed to close off weakening noticeably inside the final furlong. (see incident report) |
| 12 | 11 | NICKU (CK389) | H W Lai | TT | Enjoyed the run of the race tracking the leader. Was a beaten horse early in the straight & struggled thereafter. |
