| 1 | 12 | QI'S PET (CD321) | S Dye | -- | Away well, tracked leader 1L off pace out 2-wide from 1000 M to home turn, led 300 M out, 2Ls clear 200 M, driven out. |
| 2 | 2 | CHECK MATE (CC259) | O Doleuze | B | 2-wide and 6Ls behind in 9th at 1000 M, 4-wide on straigh- tening when 4Ls down in mid-division, stayed on well but had too much of a break to make up on winner. |
| 3 | 8 | TELECOM SUPERBOSS (CD180) | H W Lai | B | Away well and led on fence at 1100 M by 1L, same margin clear until entering home straight, headed at 300 M, tired close home but just clung on for a place. |
| 4 | 3 | QUICK NEWS (CB178) | B Prebble | B | Settled in midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls behind leader through to homestretch when a little short of room, rallied well inside final 200 M, nearest at finish and narrowly missed a place. |
| 5 | 14 | VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) | D Whyte | -- | Hindered on fence at 1200 M, about 3Ls or so off pace in 5th or 6th until home turn, one-paced on the run-in and never likely to figure in the money. |
| 6 | 5 | GANBARIA (CE052) | G Schofield | SR | Crowded at 1200 M, about 2Ls or 3Ls off speed in 4th or 5th until home turn, lacked a turn of foot. |
| 7 | 4 | LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) | G Mosse | -- | Raced prominently about 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 1000 M but was always 3-wide without cover, still in 3rd place at 200 M but tired close home. |
| 8 | 1 | AWARD (CE111) | C Munce | TT1 | Slowly away losing significant ground, 10Ls off pace at 800 M and made some headway on circle to be 6Ls down in 10th, couldn't sustain the effort and no threat thereafter. |
| 9 | 11 | NOBLE BOSS (CD360) | Y T Cheng | TT | Slow away, two from rear about 9Ls off the speed at 1000 M, much the same on straightening, never dangerous. |
| 10 | 6 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | E Saint-Martin | CP- | 3-wide with cover when 4Ls off pace in midfield at 900 M and same entering home straight, one-paced and 5Ls off pace at 200 M, weakened further. |
| 11 | 13 | RED FORTUNE (CE192) | W M Lai | -- | Always towards rear, about 8Ls off pace at 900 M, never a factor. |
| 12 | 10 | CHARMING SPEEDY (CE186) | C Brown | B1 | Always in rear bunch and never better than 8Ls off speed at any stage. |
| 13 | 9 | ATHLETIC GOLD (CC241) | P H Lo | B | Best away but restrained to settle in rear, detached 10Ls off speed at 600 M, under pressure on straightening, hardly became involved. |
| 14 | 7 | FIGS (CE141) | M Rodd | -- | Crowded at 1200 M on fence, had the run of the race 2Ls off pace in 4th on fence at 800 M, under pressure to lie up at 600 M, struggling entering straight and dropped out tamely, eased final 200 M. |
