Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | SUNLIGHT POWER (H244) | H Bentley | CP/H/XB | Away with them, travelled 3-wide ahead of midfield, lost cover from 900M, worked into the race well 400M, quickened to challenge for the lead mid-straight, asserted final 100M. |
| 2 | 4 | THE ABSOLUTE (H438) | A Atzeni | TT | From draw 14 pressed forward before moving across to track leader 2-wide, went head-to head with eventual winner from 200M, fought hard but was outbattled late. |
| 3 | 1 | FOOLISH HEART (J054) | K C Leung | V | Up with early pace before sitting back in midfield passing 900M, had difficulty obtaining clear running inside 400M, closed off well under top weight after 300M. Nearest finish. |
| 4 | 12 | SUPER WISE DRAGON (G475) | K De Melo | V-/TT | Jumped only fairly, reserved behind midfield along the fence, steadied near 300M before finishing the race nicely. |
| 5 | 6 | FAST VICTORY (H393) | B Avdulla | CP-/B1 | Raced keenly middle stages with blinkers applied, raced in mid-division throughout, kept on moderately over final 400M, not reach first three. |
| 6 | 14 | NOBLE WIN (H195) | A Hamelin | E/XB | On jumping blundered then became badly unbalanced, ended up racing at the rear, brought wide into straight before closing off well down outside. (Roarer.) |
| 7 | 10 | VANTASTIC CHOICE (G401) | Y L Chung | -- | Sent forward, crossed to the lead 950M, fought hard to hold off rivals early straight, headed inside 200M, weakened to 7th. |
| 8 | 13 | COOL BLUE (H011) | A Badel | V/TT | Away well enough from draw 2, settled down midfield 3-4Ls off the pace, kept on one paced final 400M and was never dangerous. |
| 9 | 11 | LUCKY GOLD (G112) | M Chadwick | B | Pressed along from the start to maintain a position behind midfield, wide no cover from 800M, lacked a finishing kick when asked and was safely held in the end. |
| 10 | 2 | JUMBO FORTUNE (G195) | K Teetan | PC/XB | Jumped only fairly, settled near last, 5Ls to make up top of straight but didn't get the clearest of paths over final 300M. Could do better. |
| 11 | 3 | SUGAR BALL (H394) | M L Yeung | CP/H/TT | Up with early pace before taking a trailing spot behind leaders, failed to find more on straightening and gave ground passing 250M. |
| 12 | 9 | STORM WINNER (J069) | B Thompson | -- | Ridden quietly near the rear, under the pump 550M but responded only fairly. Never a threat to leaders. |
| 13 | 7 | INVINCIBLE LUCKY (J119) | Z Purton | B1 | Moved up to race prominently behind leaders, found nothing when asked top of straight, soon out of contention. (Jockey : obliged to make early use and not able to finish the race off.) |
| 14 | 8 | PERFETTO (G198) | M F Poon | CP-/B2 | Taken back from draw 13 to be racing towards the rear, wide on the turn, was closing off fairly when steadied 200M, eased. |
