Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | GOOD FIT (BT198) | S King | -- | Travelled kindly around midfield. Responded well in straight and snatched victory closing stages. |
| 2 | 4 | CUPID (BV043) | D Dunn | SR | Better than midfield. Progressed steadily to 3rd before straightening. Disappointed for running on rail early straight, then held up until after the 200 M. Finished strongly. Unlucky. |
| 3 | 12 | HAPPY FORTUNE (CA307) | J Egan | -- | Soon restrained out the back. Under pressure from 400 M, ran on well in straight to be nearest at finish. |
| 4 | 2 | DIAMOND TALENTS (BT186) | F Coetzee | B | Broke well and prominent. Tracked leader after entering the straight the first time. Every chance inside 200 M until narrowly missed a placing on the line. |
| 5 | 8 | ROUND THE WORLD (CA227) | W Woods | -- | Slow to begin and towards the rear. Crept closer from 600 M, 4-wide into straight. Made up steady ground until no extra final stages. |
| 6 | 6 | MENTOR (CA253) | O Peslier | -- | Led until 200 M. Kept on until no extra concluding stages. |
| 7 | 10 | STRATEGIC MOVE (BP233) | M W Leung | B | Well there. Caught wide along the back straight and rounding the home turn. One-paced in straight. |
| 8 | 11 | FAIR LADY (CA238) | K C Tsang | -- | Settled in midfield or worse. Unable to quicken in straight. |
| 9 | 1 | HIGH SKY (BS203) | D Whyte | B | Soon behind midfield. Made no improvement any stage. |
| 10 | 7 | MULTIZEN (BV340) | A Marcus | B | Well there. Under pressure rounding home bend. Dropped out upon straightening. |
| 11 | 9 | FAT CHOY TOGETHER (BN082) | K H Ting | B | Unable to show pace despite ridden along, 3-wide towards the rear. Improved to midfield along the back straight but soon weakened and tailed off from 400 M. |
