1 | 11 | SMART WINNER (CA019) | G Schofield | SR | Always 3-wide and between 3Ls and 5Ls off pace before switching into the clear 300 M out, quickened up well to grab lead over 100 M out, pushed out. |
2 | 9 | SHAXI FORTUNE (BT096) | S K Sit | -- | Held up in rear 6Ls off lead and 2-wide through to straight, 5Ls down when switched out wider 350 M out to challenge, hung in markedly while making strong late run, post came too soon. |
3 | 1 | CHARMING CITY (BT182) | D Dunn | B/TT | Disputed lead with OVATION out 2-wide from 900 M out to stretch, led again 300 M out, headed by PRIME WITNESS 200 M out, kept on well but no chance with front pair's pace. |
4 | 4 | PRIME WITNESS (BV178) | G Mosse | -- | Didn't break well, caught 5-wide about 2Ls off pace 1000 M out, 1L down and 3-wide turning for home, hard ridden to take narrow lead 200 M out, no extra inside final stages. |
5 | 6 | KENWOOD MELODY (BV014) | S Dye | B/H | No speed early on, 4-wide and about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace from 800 M out to turning in, good acceleration to go 2Ls down 200 M out, couldn't sustain momentum final stages. |
6 | 5 | SOLID CONTACT (BP168) | D Whyte | -- | Raced 3-wide about 3Ls off pace 900 M out, still 3Ls off but 5-wide on straightening, stayed on fairly well in concluding stages but never a threat to principals. |
7 | 10 | ASIA RISING (BT270) | H K Yim | -- | Didn't break well and lost at least 4Ls at start, 6Ls off pace on fence from 800 M out to straight, about 2Ls down and finishing off well when squeezed for room 100 M out and steadied up. |
8 | 7 | CLIFFHANGER (CA235) | C Williams | -- | On terms racing 2-wide with pacesetting OVATION 1000 m out before opting to sit about 2Ls off speed through to stretch, stayed on at one-pace to line. |
9 | 13 | MADE TO FIGURE (BS161) | W M Lai | SR | Raced 2-wide about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed until turning for home when hard pressed to quicken up, outpaced in straight. |

11 | 12 | OVATION (BS190) | K C Tsang | B | Soon led on fence, disputing running with CLIFFHANGER and then CHARMING CITY, 1L clear turning in but headed 300 M out, weakened rapidly. |
12 | 14 | MY HONOUR (BT205) | Y T Cheng | -- | Never better than midfield at any stage, always about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace and 2-wide, clearly outpaced in straight. |
