Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | AHEAD A HEAD (CB092) | S Dye | -- | Virtually made all. Hung on under pressure to fend off runner-up's late challenge. |
| 2 | 14 | GOLDEN MAPLE (CB265) | H W Lai | V | Settled in rear of midfield. Commenced run passing 800 M making steady headway around field to be close up 4-wide turning in. Sustained progress to hold every chance but just failed to peg back winner. |
| 3 | 6 | PRINCE GOLF (CB328) | G Mosse | -- | Never far off to straight. Fought on steadily under pressure without threatening. |
| 4 | 11 | INDUBITABLY BLISS (CA058) | F Coetzee | TT | Chased leader to straight, then faded. |
| 5 | 4 | ARROGANCE (CA177) | D Whyte | B | Always prominent. One-paced in straight. |
| 6 | 12 | NATURAL ECHO (CB326) | P H Lo | B | Well back into straight. Made up good late ground down centre of straight to be nearest at finish. |
| 7 | 2 | PEAK POWER (BV002) | T Mundry | P | Settled in forward of midfield. Moderate effort rounding home bend. Kept on same pace in straight. |
| 8 | 7 | FORTUNE DANCER (BS081) | W Woods | V-/PC2 | Never better than midfield. |
| 9 | 8 | GOOD FIT (BT198) | Y T Cheng | -- | Never better than midfield. |
| 10 | 13 | FORTUNE BOY (CC378) | R Fradd | P | Wide throughout. Mostly in midfield before taking closer order around home bend. With leaders turning in but soon faded. |
| 11 | 1 | BEAR DOMINANCE (CD235) | P Payne | B-/V1/TT- | Slowly away. Trailed field into straight. Never a factor. |
| 12 | 5 | MAGICAL LOT (CC349) | M Zahra | -- | Never better than midfield. |
| 13 | 3 | WINNING RONGRONG (CD081) | A Marcus | BO1/TT | Around midfield. Gave ground under pressure rounding home bend. |
| 14 | 10 | ABLE WIN (BV311) | C W Wong | B-/P2/TT | Never on terms. |
